Links for 04/15/15 | National Catholic Reporter  by MSW. MGB: Borowtiz's piece is funny and a bit mocking at having a video rather than a rally - and that she is acting as if she is not well known - of course considering who she is known for being married to, may not be a bad thing.  Still, its an interesting barometer to see who likes an dislikes her by how they react.  Mocking the GOP for their reaction is priceless.



You can always walk in most neighborhoods as long as you have identification.  Indeed, I am no sure who cold stop you from going to Beacon HIll.  I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because I would rank Carmel, California at the top.  Woodland-Normanstone in DC is a pack of mansions in a block.  Did not make the list.  Kings Point, Long Island is amazing and if you want off the wall, do Dubuque, Iowa in the heights and Anacostia, DC along MLK.  I say that because the stone and architecture is the same and they look neat.  And yes, I have walked down that stretch of MLK alone and with a campaign parade - and for MLK day (although when you are holding a Free DC Banner and trying not to drop it, you can't really see.  Even more impressive is Sixteenth Street in early May.  Nothing is more beautiful. Even Groves Point, Michigan or San Antonio, TX - especially Terrell HIlls, which has lots of pretty flowers, the postwar home style - which has never been changed McMansions not allowed, but in the summer in back yards, clothing is optional.



In the movie, Whoopie led the choir for St. John Paul II (or a dramatic facsimile). Of course, the anchor song of the piece is Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee sang by the students - with Lauren Hill in her break out performance.  Very hep and very spiritual, like the characters meant it.
