Free Chocolate Milk for Everybody!
I have just been listening to Hillary’s and Obama’s speeches (I know, I know), and decided that I just needed to modify an observation of H.L. Mencken’s, to wit, that it appears to many that America is a giant milch cow with 300 million teats. This is a tad more reserved than a comment from …
Children and Grace in Worship
This last Lord’s Day, the message was the second in a series on loving little ones. There will be one or two more on this theme.
Regulatory Fascism
One more comment needs to be made about Jonah Goldberg’s very fine book, Liberal Fascism. In order to follow the argument here, it is necessary to make a fundamental distinction that very few in modern political discourse are able to make — because of the prevalence of fascist assumptions — and that distinction is the …
Catholicity and Fundamentalism
There is quite an interesting post, and follow-up discussion, to be found here. Tim Bayly defines the sine qua non of fundamentalism as a willingness to fight in order to defend the faith once delivered. There is a good fundamentalism that acquired a bad name through its faithfulness. “There’s another sense, though, that hearkens back …
Really Encouraged
I was just at one of our monthly school board meetings for Logos School last night, and was greatly encouraged by what is continuing to happen in our classrooms — as I am frequently encouraged by the reports at our board meetings.

For obvious reasons, I won’t link to it directly, but Drudge has informed us that Lindsey Lohan, the troubled young actress, has now reenacted a famous cheesecake photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe’s. This is another great example of the fraudulent pretensions of feminism — I think it can safely be said that we are now …
A Fluffy Will to Power
Apparently, the Illinois shooter sent a copy of The Antichrist to his girl friend before the shooting. Professors of this and that have been hastening to assure us all that this action represents a drastic misunderstanding of Nietzsche’s will to power, informing us that the will to power needs to be understood in a civilized, …
The Code-Mongers Dilemma
Okay, here is a ripe one. Those who have been following the lefti-capades here in Moscow should remember that this last November, a strident hard-left Moscow City Council was voted out and replaced by some grown-ups. In a fit of pique, before the old council left, they extended benefits to domestic partners of city workers. …
I Take Your Point
Once there were two women, next door neighbors, who were on pretty good terms. One was a Christian and the other was not, but still they got on decently enough. This lasted for several years, until one day the Christian woman noticed that her friend was becoming irritable and easily annoyed. This increased over a …
