From the Sycamore Trust, “an alarming recent study”:
[M]any students become pro-choice at Notre Dame. By the time they graduate, there are as many pro-choice students (42%) as in the general population. Among the reasons may be mixed signals from the faculty.
Though the University declared itself pro-life in the wake of the Obama episode, there is reason to think that a large proportion of the faculty is pro-choice, and prominent members of the Theology faculty have been outspoken in their dissent from Church teaching on abortion.
Indeed, the nation’s leading “Catholic” pro-choice advocate has welcomed the recent public dissent from Church teaching by one of Notre Dame’s most widely known ethicists.
Give Notre Dame a pro-lifer, get back a pro-choicer. Read about it here.
I love the comments engendered by almost any Wed. Journal story of weight. These from one about two new middle-school principals strengthen my feelings:
TJ from OP:
Too much money for these guys. I could get the same “talent” for much less.
Wondering asked:
Why are these two new guys making more than just about all the other principals in the district?
To which Sheesh, pointedly:
Why does the guy down the hall make more than me? Maybe because he’s working and I am farting around here.
[Sarcastically, with reason:] These overpaid admininstrators, we need to low ball them, after all, its only our kids that they are responsble for. Let’s get some nannnies or someone we can get for $30K.
There were other defenses of the salaries. But there’s something about pithy, right?
Note also, these are one-year contracts.

At the Gitmo terrorist trial, Saturday night live
This lady thinks she’s part of a bar association skit:
One of the defense lawyers, Cheryl Bormann, showed up in Muslim dress covering everything but her face and demanded the women on the prosecution team dress modestly so that our clients are not forced to not look at the prosecution for fear of committing a sin under their faith. The shameless hussies at the prosecution table were dressed in military or civilian jackets and skirts.
Shameless indeed.

I vouch for the author completely . . .
Word to the wise . . .
“Not really” is the new “No.” Or so I thought before running across this encyclopedic account.
While you (we) are at it (I?), consider the New Yorker cartoon by Edward Koren cited in Times Literary Supplement, 9/23/11 (but earlier in a textbook, Philosophy: An Introduction to the Art of Wondering, by James L. Christian, originally published in 1973), in which the devil laments:
It’s getting much harder for me to distinguish good from evil. All I’m certain about is what’s appropriate and inappropriate.
Quoted by Rae Langton, reviewing Terry Eagleton’s On Evil (Yale).
Lady of house is not amused when I referred to our parish church as “that neighborhood emporium of grace and salvation.”
Another time, maybe, but I take her as Everywoman responding to my various bon mots and salvos in the cause of humor as antidote (temporary, yes, but what isn’t in our vale of tears?) to the slough of despond* that ever beckons, at least to THINKING PEOPLE.
* Not quite, if I go entirely with Bunyan. Despondency?
