I agree , stop whinning [sic] about the ump and focus on the game . Joe West wasn’t the reason they lost . Poor play +pitching and hitting not being good = another bad loss . Get over yourself Hawk

Like Hawk, I blame Joe West. For everything. White Sox losing, Piniella crying, Bear OL. It’s all the fault of Joe West and it just isn’t right!

However, no one misspelled Harrelsen.  Oops, HarrelsOn.

Fevered complaint, a kind of rant

You Can Always Find a Fall Guy

This blogger I am making the fall guy for a common mistake: “these kinds of draconian measures” are out of order, says Mark Hemingway at Wash Times Beltway [non-]Confidential.

He’s right about them being out of order, but dead wrong about their being several kinds.  They are one kind.  It’s how we classify things to make a point, placing many measures in one category, in this case draconian.

IS ANYBODY LISTENING??

Aux armes!

Latin mass afficionados should know about The Remnant. Its history includes this call to arms:

We plan to go forward with enthusiasm for the one, true Faith, and not to succumb to the Modernist onslaught against the traditions of the Catholic Church— come what may.

Join the Resistance!

Latest issue has tough, tough comments in interview of newly acquired Rome stringer Hilary White, whose work can be viewed here at her LifeSiteNews home roost. Smart, pungent, someone to keep up with, if you can.

For instance, this:

ROME, April 12, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) Quite honestly, when I saw that Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens had told the British media they plan to have Pope Benedict XVI arrested and charged with crimes against humanity, during his visit to Britain in September, my first reaction was somewhat different from those of most of my friends and colleagues here in Rome. Whereas most of them burst out laughing, I felt like cringing in embarrassment on behalf of these two men, particularly for Professor Dawkins.

The fact that Dawkins, and his henchman Hitchens, believe, apparently with utter seriousness, that they can arrest Pope Benedict during his visit, indicates a disconnection from reality that ought to prompt the sympathetic attention of a competent physician.

And more more more where that came from . . .
