- Sorry but you won’t retire. As Jeff Culbreath has said, not necessarily bad if your job is your calling but often it’s not. Oh man. I had better win the lottery, because I’m going to be intolerable as a septuagenarian employee.
- Media bias, media blandness. Religion coverage: The heroes in these stories are always the mushy-middlemen, or at least those who have learned how to speak the language of mushy-middleness persuasively to journalists.
- Life according to Seventeen. It’s a kind of brilliant analysis of how American teenage girlhood is constructed by the media. Like magazines aimed at grown women. Cracked nailed this: play keepaway with her self-esteem so she buys the sponsors’ products. I’m anything but anti-business but yes.
- Now it might cost up to $1 trillion to rescue Fannie and Freddie, in what one insider calls “the mother of all bailouts.” James Poulos says: It’s one thing for a government to spend more money than we have. It’s another to spend more than we can imagine. Cross that threshold, and people will start to ask: how imaginary is the value of this unimaginable amount of money?
Catholic integralism is the true seamless garment.
Don't apologize for things you didn't do, to people who don't believe in forgiveness or redemption.
