Oozing in Irony
At about the same time Rod Dreher announces his departure from the Catholic Church because of bad bishops comes this news item about the upcoming canonization of Blessed Mother Theodore Guerin. (link via relapsedcatholic)

Dem Contradictions on Child Molesting
It's outrageously bad when a congressional Republican might have been involved in it (though I don't believe Mark Foley has been accused of doing anything more than sending inappropriate and morally repugnant e-mails) but there's deafening silence when Dem enablers in Hollywood glorify it in film.

Glorified and Self Inflicted Elder Abuse
I just can't help thinking that's what the final(?) Rocky movie is basically about. What is he, like 60?

Well, Why Not?
Cindy Sheehan claims she is a finalist for the Nobel "Peace" Prize this year. For the non-unhinged, this would seem to be a joke, but given the sordid list of past Nobel recipients (e.g., Jimmy Carter, Yasser Arafat and Mikhail Gorbachev) I would not be surprised if it were true. (link via Drudge)

House Speaker Pelosi?
**Shudder**
From a speech the ultra-left representative gave in 2003 (link via Hugh Hewitt):
The United States does not need a multi-billion-dollar national missile defense against the possibility of a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile.

Lawyer in the Pool!
I've gotta report to jury duty tomorrow and I'm hoping I either get on a jury panel fairly quickly or I'm let go early. In case you don't think the former is possible for a lawyer, think again. About four years ago, I was selected to be an alternate juror in a murder trial.

Bishop Brown: Religious/Spiritual Utilitarian
Some spot on analysis by Amy Welborn of the pastoral letter and DVD distributed by Bishop Brown throughout the Diocese of Orange (of which I reside).

Troll/Trolling
Don't use the word(s) in the context of online discussion groups or forums if you don't have a clear understanding of what it means. You run the risk of looking stupid if you do.

Oatmeal Foreign Policy
Looks as though the Quakers have filched the Dem's talking points on possible NorK nukes (i.e., it's BushHitler's™ fault).
Update: Terrorist-loving Peanut Farmer Foreign Policy: Jimmah chimes in and jumps on the blame BushHitler™ bandwagon. (link via The Corner)

Calling Tony Soprano
John Derbyshire over at National Review suggests the whole NorK nuke problem can be solved by having Kim Jong-Il whacked. Irresponsible? Maybe not.

Democrats: Predictably Contemptible
Yep, it's all BushHitler's™ fault that the NorKs might have nukes. Slick didn't have anything to do with it at all.

Another Tight One
But the Trojans keep winning despite racking up injuries to key players.
Update: Dang! Dodgers were swept by the Mets. For some reason, I find the Mets incredibly more annoying than the Yankees. Probably has to do with the fact that the Dodgers, my favorite team, are in the National League.

Liberals and Lack of Self Awareness
There's something incredibly Naziesque about the Unhinged Left's latest attempt to prove that BushHitler™ exists. (link via The Anchoress).
A liberal government watchdog group has asked the Secret Service to release its records of prominent conservative Christian leaders' visits to the White House, but one of those leaders called the request "an act of Christianophobia."
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on Wednesday. The group said in the request that the records are "likely to contribute to the public's understanding of the influence that conservative Christian leaders have, or attempt to have, on the president in the exercise of his authority."

A Win for Marriage in the Courts
A California Court of Appeal upholds Prop. 22, aka California's Protection of Marriage Amendment.
Unfortunately, expect an appeal to the California State Supreme Court to be made.

Foley and Democrat Hypocrisy
Take it away Ann!
But now, the same Democrats who are incensed that Bush's National Security Agency was listening in on al-Qaida phone calls are incensed that Republicans were not reading a gay congressman's instant messages.
Let's run this past the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals: The suspect sent an inappropriately friendly e-mail to a teenager — oh also, we think he's gay. Can we spy on his instant messages? On a scale of 1 to 10, what are the odds that any court in the nation would have said: YOU BET! Put a tail on that guy — and a credit check, too!
When Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee found unprotected e-mails from the Democrats about their plan to oppose Miguel Estrada's judicial nomination because he was Hispanic, Democrats erupted in rage that their e-mails were being read. The Republican staffer responsible was forced to resign.
But Democrats are on their high horses because Republicans in the House did not immediately wiretap Foley's phones when they found out he was engaging in e-mail chitchat with a former page about what the kid wanted for his birthday.
The Democrats say the Republicans should have done all the things Democrats won't let us do to al-Qaida — solely because Foley was rumored to be gay. Maybe we could get Democrats to support the NSA wiretapping program if we tell them the terrorists are gay.

Getting It Right
It looks as though the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals will be correcting the egregiously incompetent and politicized ruling that Federal District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, a Carter appointee, made on the constitutionality of the NSA surveillance program.
As an aside, when news of Judge Taylor's ruling was first reported in mid-August, noted legal and homeland security expert Mark Shea expressed his support for it on grounds and principles that have absolutely nothing to do with what the surveillance program is and how it functions. In other words, Shea didn't know what the hell he was talking about; at the same time, he gave public endorsement for the type of jurisprudence which produced rulings like Roe v. Wade.
