MGB: Young people are forced into extended childhood by doting parents and an economic system that will not pay them to gear up for life like they once did in their mid-teens. In tragedy, their true talents come out. They are as adult as any of us if we let them be that way. Sadly, being shot at tends to end childhood as well.
Good for Cardinal O'Malley and shame on Cardinal Dolan for his deliberately bad timing slamming Democrats for actually understanding the law on abortion and realizing it probably makes sense. That he feels he must give the world a Republican moment is the kind of reverse Simony the pro-life movement is known for.
The NRA would have been better off to remain silent for the last week and the next two. Sometimes getting your face on the air is the stupid thing to do. Reactionary idiots just can't help themselves sometime (as above with Dolan).
Connolly's book shows that the desire for socialism is not really about the money. It is about human dignity for all workers, including women who would be priests. The resistance to seeing that last bit is why secularists still poo-poo Christianity. That is on us, not on them.
It was good to see the union signs at the Lamb victory announcement. Happy days are here again.
Tillerson forgot that you can't all the boss a moron, especially a mean-spirited one. He was a CEO for too long, which means everyone was nice to him, including the press. Welcome to the real world, Rex.
