The news continues to create the news

Last updated on: January 29, 2016 at 2:05 pm By Dave Griffey

So the media continues to be shocked that Trump can dominate the news following a debate in which he didn’t take part. Uh, that’s because the media is focusing on Trump and the fact that he didn’t take part, rather than the debate itself. I’m not one to always and only blame the media. But I’d have to have rocks in my head to think that at least part of Trump’s popularity is the direct result of the media giving... Read more

Conservatives are sexist pigs

Last updated on: January 29, 2016 at 1:50 pm By Dave Griffey

And racist, too. Yep. So this strange story, that suggests supporters of Bernie Sanders – champion of the culture of death – are acting like stereotypical sexists and racists, must be wrong. Read more

Europe’s leading human rights group has said that ISIS is, in fact, guilty of genocide. Well yeah. I’m not even sure ISIS would deny it. Read more

John Allen translates Pope Francis

Last updated on: January 29, 2016 at 8:18 am By Dave Griffey

Regarding the latest kerfuffle over gay marriage, civil unions and traditional family. In terms of this particular issue, like so many things over the last three years, I get the feeling people leave Pope Francis completely convinced he said what they were sure he would say in the first place. And something about the way he communicates seems to encourage that tendency. Read more

Catholics for Bernie Sanders

Last updated on: January 29, 2016 at 6:00 am By Dave Griffey

No, it’s not an unwarranted accusation. It’s a fact. And a Facebook page. Sometimes I think it’s the doom of Catholics to be the reason why future Catholics must apologize. Read more

John Kasich is a credit to the modern political discourse

Last updated on: January 28, 2016 at 2:49 pm By Dave Griffey

Yes, I wish he had a little more ‘umph’ to him. And it might be one of those judgments against our nation that a man who could have done much to repair the Conservative face in America has been sideswiped by the Trump 3-Ring-Circus. But he is a good man, and dares to maintain his positions while doing so in a way that invites cooperation. Not that he would be spared if he received the nomination. I’m not stupid. In... Read more

This could come as a shock

It was 30 years ago today

Last updated on: January 28, 2016 at 12:38 pm By Dave Griffey

That tears brought an end to our blind faith in the daily leaps forward in technology and innovation. I remember it well. I wasn’t paying much attention to the lift off. I was vaguely aware that a teacher was going on this mission. But by then, space shuttles had become par for the course. We were waiting for the next big leap forward. Then, this day 30 years ago, I was on my way down from classes in my freshman... Read more
