  1. Benedict’s encyclical is out. It’s on a topic of wider interest than just the catholic faithful … public charity.
  2. Rot and the modern state.
  3. A supporter of Mr Obama’s non-statements/non-action regarding Iran is not so appreciative of his error regarding Honduras. A non-supporter wonders what the heck he’s considering regarding Iran.
  4. Obama in Moscow. More here.
  5. Pro-choice and reality.
  6. On Ms Neda the Iranian martyr and a question. Why were all the pictures cropped? Who did that? Why?
  7. Cycling and pain … a very scientific (heh) explanation.
  8. Evolution and a number.
  9. Getting the music right.
  10. On the Ms Palin stepping down kerfuffle.

  1. A comparison of Mr Obama’s acts put in Mr Bush’s shoes. I can’t really imagine an honest left leaning individual saying “no” to any significant fraction of those questions, although likely any number of those things were items they would (privately at least) condemn Mr Obama for doing.
  2. I don’t know the contents of the ’64 bill or the ’57 for that matter … but as a for my conservative opinion I’d ask “did the bill improve the conditions for private citizens pursuit of happiness (=virtue).” I’d add that in ’64 I was only 2 (3 in December) so my contributions would be minimal to the debate at the time.
  3. Not exactly truly useful but … interesting nonetheless, my youngest daughter and my mother are knitters.
  4. The Internet and beauty … and on Liszt, Verdi with his Requiem is another example of a secular (avowed atheist I think) producing moving sacral music.
  5. This event was noted elsewhere as a set-piece staged political theatrical production (the town hall was packed with supporters), which if done by the Bush admin would likely have gotten a less salutary treatment by the press. Isn’t that bias?
  6. Two articles noted in which Christian thought meets the cultural present.
  7. The Hell’s Angels in Denmark. Denmark had a particularly ethical response to Nazi occupation and their seeking Jews for pogrom, so one might consider that their ethical antennae are not broken … which means that one might not want to generically dismiss their response to the spread of Islamic culture as a Neanderthalian move.
  8. Judicial candidates apparently must watch their associations. I don’t know what this means … but it may resurface.
  9. Ben Myers almost always has thought provoking things to say. Here he begins to consider the difference between writing and blogging in the context of theology.
  10. This is a point which is not being defended by the left. Right now, with the left’s domination the public airwaves and much print media, ignoring objections is an effective strategy of theirs. But there is a disconnect between the economic situation which they (and everyone) admits is still fragile and the desire to tack on new economic burdens (the W/M bill and healthcare).
  11. The allegorical hermeneutic is one I’m learning right now reading Origen for a class.
  12. I suspect this discussion of happiness has at its root that the definition of happiness today is too often interpreted as a ‘feeling’.
  13. Two teammates Armstrong and Contador of Astana, and I think that unless there is a mishap (crash) Armstrong really will be riding in support of Contador … and contrary to many predictions will finish outside the top 10.
  14. An Israeli offers his opinions on Mr Obama’s policy toward his homeland … and conjectures it’s strengthening the resolve of the policy which (on the surface) he is supporting. Of course Mr Obama is supposed to be “very smart” so perhaps this was his intent. And I put scare quotes on smart not because I doubt Mr Obama is smart or not … but that I think that smart is a measurement that can be casually made. Modern politicians are primarily actors on a stage. An excellent actor may be very good at his craft, but that isn’t the same as what a physicist or mathematician would mean by the statement “he’s smart.”

  6. I’m opposed to Federal (and State) regulation of marriage (and a regular reader)… does that count?  Because that policy would certainly result in some areas not allowing it and other to do so.
  7. Zoooom!!!
  8. Ownership.
  9. A young lady.
  10. Sub-4. And media bias (assuming Fox = “the media”). And speaking of bias, the second link put scare quotes on the categorization of Ms Palin as a runner, a sub-4 hour marathon means that yes, indeed, she is a runner … scare quotes are inappropriate.

  3. The too many regulations and laws problem.
  4. Victims strikes me as the wrong word.
  5. Tax and oppression … is this where the left wants to go?
  6. At least some on the left are unimpressed with Mr Obama’s tactics.
  7. I think in some way those on the left who are pleased as punch with Mr Franken’s win betray themselves as pure partisan animals. After all, Franken is basically the left’s less talented equivalent of Ms Coulter. If she had won a highly contested Senate seat … how would they view those on the other side of the aisle praising that event?
  8. Health care and the Baucus plan.
  9. Consequences of policy.
  10. Virtue leaves the room.
  11. Bigots in places of power.
  12. This keeps happening …
  13. I’m not catholic but that’s a debate I’d enter.
  14. Cars and US manufacture … and party … which I link as a GOP supporter driving a VW (diesel) and two Honda Insights (original version) which we got used.
  15. A geek debate.
  16. In which “possible worlds” means ones which are not in any way realistic.
  17. Marriage.
  18. Culture and Orthodoxy.
  19. For the 4th. Here too.
  20. And some patristics.

  4. Scrambling to change the message?
  5. All without mentioning the crown of martyrdom.
  6. Crediting the Cairo speech!? Hmm, I’ve seen that … I wonder when it will occur to them that perhaps more credit is due to two real not-pro-forma and not-faked democratic elections by a neighboring state.
  7. Obama, uhm, flip flops on Iran and finally says the right thing. It shouldn’t have taken two weeks … and do you believe he means it?
