Links: A popular pope, Garry Wills on abortion and the 'barstool' party 

That Cardinal Sean is not retiring is telling. Popes, especially this one, do not watch the polls.

The question of whether politicians are candidates or campaigners is important. My guess is that some bishops want to condemn the latter. Thank you Albany!

Garry is right about conception, but ignores that a materialistic soul is needed for gastrulation (and that an immortal soul's assignment cannot be known). More importantly, he ignores the constitutional law flaws in the bishop's position regarding the power of the state in regulating abortion (or lack thereof). The need to use economic, rather than police, power is the key to settling this argument inside of doctrine, in law and in politics.

By the time we know what the economy is doing, it will be done going down the current path. Getting people back to work with a higher minimum wage is good. Keeping them idle with higher public sector payments is not so good, even if emotionally satisfying.

If the fairness doctrine had not been repealed, the Internet would have killed it.

Unless the federal government wants to make solar panels free, it needs to fund rebuilding the current sources. The impact of PR on downstream air simply does not exist. PR needs charging stations for electric cars and the power plants to feed them.

I have fond memories of joining my father and friends at the Sirloin and Brew where they discussed the latest bloviations of Rush. That was years ago. I never warmed up to Limbaugh and his fans are mostly no longer with us. The GOP was fast becoming the GQP, but Q has not been heard from since the Insurrection. Either he had an attack of conscience or he is on bond or in jail awaiting trial. My bet is option C.
