To Let the Democracy of the Dead Teach Me How to Vote Like A Catholic UPDATED

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:54 pm By Frank Weathers

Are you dissatisfied with the book-length voting guides put out by the USSCB? Do you find it lacks both brevity and clarity? Are you skeptical of the guides put out by Catholic shills of the Left and of the Right as well? Are you tired of the same old stale arguments in the blog-o-sphere between the folks who can seemingly find no candidates worthy of their vote, doing battle with those who attempt to turn their pet candidates into demi-gods?...

If God Is A Bullet… (Music for Mondays)

Last updated on: January 19, 2015 at 11:56 am By Frank Weathers

I was just checking the archives and realized it’s been a long time since I shared a music post. Ever since the HHS Mandate naked power grab reared it’s ugly head, my muse has been under a cloaking device. But today, I’m going to break out and share a few tunes that I haven’t heard for a long, long time. I’m curious how many of you remember them too, so sound-off in the combox. They’re all from the Big Eighties,... Read more

Because of Catholics like Hubert of Aquitane (Saints for the Rest of Us)

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 10:39 pm By Frank Weathers

Wait a second, isn’t that what is on the label of a bottle of Jägermeister liquer? What does that remotely have to do with being Catholic, you say? Is this some sort of joke, like something from Cracked? Well, let me introduce you to another Catholic saint, and all around swell guy, named Hubert of Aquitane. This is a rendition of the vision he saw while deer hunting. And yes, its on the label of a bottle of Jägermeister too.... Read more

Meet “Audrey” the Praying Mantis…

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:54 pm By Frank Weathers

Last Fall, I shared a little post on a camouflaged praying mantis that liked my car. I named him “Mikey.” Well now my daughter, who is quickly becoming something of a photography buff, has snapped some shots of another mantis whom I’ve dubbed Audrey, because she reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. Can you see the resemblance? Maybe it’s just me. Read more

Singapore and the Strange Tale of Population Control Policies UPDATES

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:54 pm By Frank Weathers

Truth is stranger than fiction. And weird things happen when governments decide to help you decide how many children you can have. Take Singapore, for instance. The island nation, after gaining its independence from Malaysia in 1965 had a total fertility rate (children born per woman) north of 4.7 (down from 5.41 in 1960). As demographers know, a nation needs a TFR of 2.1 to maintain itself for the long run. The Singapore government was spooked by this high TFR... Read more
