It is the year 1977. My family just moved from New York City to Trenton, New Jersey because of my father’s new job with the New Jersey State Department of Education. Since we have only lived in the community one day, my parents are unfamiliar with the community and attend Sunday Mass at the closest,… Continue reading Clarification on My Feelings on “Ethnic” Parishes
Eat Bagels At Your Own Risk
So I was watching my new favourite TV show (since Angel has gotten so dorky and boring) Mythbusters on the Discovery Channel. It is a show in which these two smart, geeky guys attempt to prove or dissprove urban legends by recreating them. In last’s nights epsiode they ate a whole bunch of poppy seed… Continue reading Eat Bagels At Your Own Risk
Mr. Anger has an interesting comment at ECR
I want to thank Pansy Moss for her first-hand example of racial attitudes in America. To address Mr. De Nunzio’s point further, there was no question in the comments on this Blog of ignoring or trivializing racial differences. Indeed, as Pansy says, they are deeply entrenched. The question is, why do these differences exist and… Continue reading Mr. Anger has an interesting comment at ECR

Ann Coulter weighs in on the Schiavo case
….The same people who want to kill Terri believe death row cases are never final, no matter how many courts and juries have spoken over how many decades. Moreover, it’s not as if court after court has heard testimony on Terri’s wishes and have all unanimously agreed that Terri would have chosen death. One lone… Continue reading Ann Coulter weighs in on the Schiavo case
Race, Liberalism, and the Catholic Response
Jeff Culbreath presents Mr. Matt Anger’s commentary on leftism, racism, paleo-conservatism, slavery, throwing babies out with bathwater…. oh, just go read the essay, it’s good: Catholics don’t defend something on the basis of whether it is “old” or “new,” but right or wrong. Mr. [Sam] Francis, however, believing that whatever the left hates must be… Continue reading Race, Liberalism, and the Catholic Response
