Please pardon my infrequent
posting. This is the last week of class of my undergraduate career and
with finding an apartment, finishing my thesis, and more, there just
hasn't been time. Things will start to even out soon enough.While I begin to play catch up, I thought I'd highlight a few recent posts from some of the other top blogs on Townhall.com.*My
hometown, Saint Louis, got a little nationwide attention because of our
admirable archbishop, Raymond Burke. According to Reuters:Calling Sheryl Crow "a high profile proponent of the destruction
of innocent lives," the Roman Catholic archbishop of St. Louis resigned
as head of a children's medical charity that featured the singer for a
benefit concert.
Archbishop Raymond Burke resigned as chairman of the Cardinal
Glennon Children's Foundation after its board of governors refused to
pull the plug on Crow's Saturday concert in St. Louis.
She is "well-known as an abortion activist" and proponent of
stem cell research, he said in a statement on Wednesday, and her
appearance is "an affront to the identity and mission of the medical
center, dedicated as it is to the service of life and Christ's healing
mission."
Catmann, who operates Rounds Out! on Townhall, had this to say: Now I know what some of you will say, "If it's raising money to help the children, what's the big deal?"
It
may not be a big deal if you feel that way, but to a principled and
faithfull man like Bishop Burke, it means a great deal. How can the
Church allow someone who advocates the taking of unborn human life to
raise money for that same Church? Makes sense to me.
I'll have more to say about this later.
*Mike brings some more disturbing information about the VA Tech tragedy to the Townhall community's attention: "There was absolutely no connection between him and his victims."
*Snooper says: "Fred, just do it!!"*Jevica is disappointed in the recent PBS documentary on Islam(ofacism), saying "it could have just as easily been scripted
by CAIR propagandists."
*The Internet is buzzing with talk of carbon credits and their effectiveness. Gunny has strong words about the situation: "What
is a hoot is that super rich moonbats like Al Gore create massive
carbon footprints with their 28,000 sqft houses and private jets while
demanding that the rest of us relocate to the Stone Age!"
*Where can you get an oil change and a filling? Ask Madeline's Dad.
*James Biga has a bold proposition for us all: "There are many that would claim that if a
self proclaimed good person killed an evil person that they would cease
to be good. I beg to differ." Click here to read more.
