Old news, yes (2003), but current. Gives one a sense of what’s out there in leftist land.

Steve Chapman madder than hell and will take it no longer
Conservatives who raise dire alarms about what will happen in Barack Obama’s second term face a similar problem. They need him to lose so their predictions will not be exposed as products of raging paranoia.
That’s from Chi Trib’s resident conservative editorial board member and columnist. Is he mad at people who say mean things about Obama, or isn’t he? Dispeptic? [Oops, dyspeptic]

Making sure you are not misunderstood
Wondering about the situation or plight of ecumenism in these perilous days, Martin Marty as expected touches all bases, including the objection to his worried tone that I had right off, as he heard from a friend,
“What are Christians in mainline and moderate and (gulp!) liberal styles griping about. They won!”
I note the “gulp!” insertion. It’s the obligatory understated distancing himself from this concern or at least the “liberal” part. It’s what you do when giving heed to those who are not like him and his followers, lest anyone think he’s weakening on the point. Lots of people do this. I have.
Wuxtry, read all about the bishop who said he wouldn’t show up
This bishop declined to appear with a Kennedy/abortion/gay marriage/ contraception supporter at a college’s graduation. This college disinvited the Kennedy/etc. who complained that she had not been consulted by the mean old bishop.
The American Catholic has it.
