That's rich coming that bastion of heterodoxy.

Forgiveness implies the sinner may change. Satan, the father of lies, will never change.

I had the privilege to have performed in numerous musicals in local productions. The performers were amateurs, but not amateurish. I started in chorus and walk-on parts, then rose to Reb Mordcha in Fiddler on the Roof, Commander Harbison in South Pacific and the mayor of Whoville in Seussical the Mu...

You mean I'm not the first? Sigh! Guess I'll have to find something even weirder.

It was a right wing government that bought in the gun restrictions. "Fascism" LOL . Once you use that word you have shown ignorance and lost the argument. Isn't Fascism generally used as a right-wing ideology? Let's try the ol' reliable Google search. . . [hums a couple of notes waiting f...

Lookit what I found! This should generate a few interesting responses. https://scontent-hou1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/523611810_1068495025433504_6660499983370029799_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=127cfc&_nc_ohc=wzJnj7h14QkQ7kNvwE1BkEt&_nc_oc=Adm0p21fJqcZ3ZIFqRqNpNnxwB1xWDoOpKo...

Your last paragraph sums up my ambivalence towards him. When people ask why I voted for him, I shrug and say, "Given the choices, what else could I do?" But this also overlooks the tremendous good he has done, and bewails the good he could accomplish. If he could only SHUT! HIS! MOUTH! htt...

Kamala Harris, on the other hand, told a group of evangelicals who shouted "Christ is King" at one of her rallies that they were at the wrong rally and she made security force them to leave. Of course, this would offend Christians of all denominations. Sincere Catholics in particular must...

y'all = you all

Clearly second person plural, although the person speaking may soften a command or statement by using this instead of the more direct you .

They both espouse absolutism, but when one form of absolutism rubs up against the other, they'll fight like two scorpions in a jar. The beginning of the end of Soviet rule was the invasion of Afghanistan.

Hat's off to anyone who can strap a cat into a baby seat. Or anything else.

If that Commie gets elected mayor, I expect pickup trucks will be in huge demand to move anywhere else.

I don't really care, as long as they put the apostrophe where it belongs - between the y and all.

Don't you think it is in terrible taste and more than a little unethical for Catholic charitable organizations to send unsolicited requests for donations through the mail with money in the envelope, which they ask you to send back with your donation? If this happens to me, I'll add the unsolicited ...

Can "Catholics for Choice" be far behind?

Well, there is no shortage of nuts up there.

Haha!

But no.

On a somewhat related topic, there's the matter of colleges being swallowed up by other colleges. I earned a graduate degree from the University of Houston--Victoria. It was a branch operation founded in 1973 and brought a lot of culture to that town of about 50 thousand. Twice in the last ten years...

Thanks-no thanks for reminding me of this. Now that you've put this song in my head on repeat mode, I may have to play my Brady Bunch Greatest Hits album to rinse it out.

If they sell one with Leo wearing a White Sox jersey, count me in! I'd bet a pension check that that one would do quite well.
