Jeremy Lott’s Diary’s Fascist Comments Policy

Last updated on: August 20, 2012 at 12:03 am By Jeremy Lott

Boy your diarist loves reader comments, especially the ones that are long and/or insulting. Most entertaining of all is the bit where they get deposited in the trash bin, unread by the masses. It has been a while since I reminded folks of the fascist comments policy of Jeremy Lott’s Diary. Here are the ground rules: (more…) Read more

Our Father, Who Messes With Protestants

Last updated on: August 19, 2012 at 11:09 pm By Jeremy Lott

Through Facebook, in response to my last post about the new translation of the Mass, reader Matthew Hogan gives us a couple of pitch-perfect paragraphs: You young’un/convert, Mr. Lott.

Catholic Mass Questionaire

Last updated on: August 19, 2012 at 5:54 pm By Jeremy Lott

How’s that new Mass translation working out for you — and your parish? In the two parishes that I attend with some regularity, it was bumpy for a few weeks or even months. Yet by now even some of the more drastic changes have been swallowed. For instance, in that bit where we used to say– Lord I am not worthy to receive you. But only say the word and I shall be healed. –and we now say the more... Read more

Q: What’s a great way to escape the heat on a hot day? A: Going to a movie. Q: What if the movie is awful? A: Well then you’ve traded one kind of annoyance for another, haven’t you? Q: Stick to answers. A: Fair enough. Q: What is the occasion for this Q&A? A: I watched ParaNorman last night and it was awful. People should be warned. (more…) Read more

Play It, Gothard Girls

Last updated on: August 17, 2012 at 4:47 pm By Jeremy Lott

To play you out for the week, here are the Gothard Sisters singing “Scarborough Fair.” You’ll hear more on this score because I interviewed them yesterday. At one point, they had me non-maliciously waving one hand around in the air like kids used to do in middle school to mock the students on the short bus. More on that soon enough in a full-length article. Read more
