I respect Kathy Shaidle’s war against creeping Sharia and Islamofascism and her war in support of free speech. However, I’m not a fan of her war against homosexual equality, which she prosecutes by stigmatizing homosexuals at every possible opportunity. She is very much against punishing thought crimes and speech crimes, but has no qualm about …

No one laughs at God in a hospital
Dad’s OK, I’m OK, Cuban Diva BFF’s OK, all the cats are OK. But I spent the day working on a post that required me to re-live aspects of caring for Margaret while she was dying. Dear Jennie, The Bloggess, linked this song, “Laughing With,” by Regina Spektor in a tweet awhile back and it …
UPDATEDx2 — Genius Artist DC and I marched in the National Equality March on Oct. 11
Updated, 10/12/09: I just added part 2 of Julian Bond’s speech. There’s still no posting on YouTube of Michelle Clunie’s speech. Also, welcome dear PUMAs from Stray Dogs that Amble In: Part IV — the dismissal of the hundreds of thousands of participants in yesterday’s National Equality March as the “Internet left fringe” by a …
A beautiful day with my father
Somehow I didn’t hear about Obama’s being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize yesterday until almost 11 am, right before we had to leave for my father’s check-up at the cardiologist. I didn’t believe it at first and we were 15 minutes late to the doctor because I had to go online to check my newsfeed …
Come to the church in the wildwood
One of the loveliest spots in Harford county, Maryland, where I live, is a church originally built in the late 1700’s. My brother, Eric, discovered it in 1972 or ’73 on a bicycle ride and showed it to my father. When Eric was killed in a car accident on August 22, 1973, my father knew …
Rachel Maddow is a dupe, but Robert Stacy McCain is NOT a white supremacist or racist
Criminy! It’s my fifty-sixth birthday and this is not the mellow post I was planning to write in the time I have available for posting today! But I see from Pat at So It Goes in Shreveport that Rachel Maddow, reading from the gospel of crazy man and pro-jihadist Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs, …
Labor Day and time to remember how union leaders squander their members' dues

Jamie Glazov is an intellectual heir of Eric Hoffer
My father got me hooked on the work of Eric Hoffer when I was in high school in the late 1960’s, starting with his most famous book, The True Believer. And I came upon the work of Jamie Glazov thanks to the kind invitation of David Swindle, associate editor of FrontPage magazine and assistant managing …

I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman
One of the commenters on my post “Phyllis Chesler punksmacks Naomi Wolf — couldn’t happen to a nicer girl” alluded to Helen Reddy’s song, “I am woman,” and I had the thought that my younger readers might not recognize the allusion so I went looking for the song on YouTube. What a powerful experience it …
I have to think about death, now
I love writing posts for this blog but I have to concentrate the next week on writing my book on end-of-life care choices and doing some other chores. I’ve tried balancing both, but I enjoy this so much that I have neglected the other work. I hope my regular readers will amuse themselves in the …
