Iran…Iran So Far Away (Thank God for Truth Telling Fools)

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:14 pm By Frank Weathers

Here’s Jon Stewart again doing that thing he does so well: working to analyze the “news” for us. And the new scary regime of the day? Our old nemesis, and favorite of the new cohort of saber rattlers: Iran. Yeah, I gave that away in the title, didn’t I. But that isn’t the joke, see? (more…) Read more

SCOTUS Unanimous for Religious Freedom! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! In honor of this decision, I share with you good people Federalist Paper # 51. This was written by James Madison, and published on a cold Wednesday nearly 224 years ago. Writing anonymously as “Publius,” he explains this concept, dare I say it, grounded in the natural law, and why it was deemed necessary for the success of the Republic if it was to be one of laws, and not one of...

On the heels of the faith affirming appearance of Mark Walhlberg on yesterday’s CBS This Morning show, where he talked of prayer, and the New Translation of the Mass, etc., here is another celebrity Christian whose breaking-news faith story is not as satisfying. (more…) Read more

A Message From A Renowned War Hawk To the “War Parties” of Today: Peace Out!

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:15 pm By Frank Weathers

Unlike that eevil librul Stephen Colbert, I like books. And I especially like history books. Even better are personal memoirs and biographies. Google Books is one of my favorite tools, and that is where the volumes which comprise the the YIMCatholic Bookshelf (see link under the banner above) came from and are stored. I shared a few weeks back that I’ve been reading about politics viewed from the perspective of Catholic thought. Last night, I came across a quote in... Read more

Like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Because nowadays, evidently, only satirical comedy shows can provide the low-down on what our Ruling Elites are up to. Like this quickie you never saw on the Sunday Morning Talking Heads shows. Besides, Brian Williams isn’t allowed to analyze news. Not like this, anyway. (more…) Read more

As Decision 2012 looms before us, and as we are asked by all the candidates to please check our brains at the door, I’m happy to share a video that serves both as a wake-up call, as well as to the fact that there is, as my friend Qoheleth said many moons ago, nothing new under the sun.

Meet the Big, Bad, Wolf…Dog?! (Because Laughter is Medicine)

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:15 pm By Frank Weathers

Grief causes many reactions. Sometimes violence, usually denial, and when something takes the wind out of your sails, sometimes, nay, oftentimes, a sense of humor saves the day. In fact, it’s been proven that laughter often performs miracles, pulling folks out of depressions, helping them find hope, even stimulating physical recovery from injuries. (more…) Read more

Happy Birthday to St. Joan of Arc

600 hundred years ago, the Maid of Orleans was born. True, her Feast Day is on May 30th, but today is her birthday all the same. Happy Birthday Joan…I’m glad you were on the planet! Many of us can’t get behind “crazy” people who hear voices and form impromptu armies and such, can we? But that is what Joan did. She must have been at the right place and at the right time, God willing, because folks listened to her... Read more
