:: Why I don’t read the Washington Post

Because stories like this make me want to grate cheese. This is about Judith Levine’s new book “Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children From Sex.”

The antidote was Jonah Goldberg’s NRO column yesterday.

… as Irving Kristol noted long ago, if you believe that a book or a movie can’t hurt people, you also pretty much have to believe a book or a movie can’t help them either.

:: Verichip A Florida family

:: Verichip

A Florida family becomes the first cyborgs when implanted with the new Verichip. Veri referring to the latin for true, truth, real, truthfulness, and chip for, well, a silicon device that holds information in the form of ones and zeds. That’s a spooky, spooky name. Why not something like Viachip, Medichip or Vitachip? It doesn’t contain truth – it contains medical and personal data. Don’t try to put one of those things in me! If I want you to know you my name and the fact that I am a few pounds over my ideal weight I will tell you.

My prediction is that it won’t be too long before someone suggests tracking non-citizens residing in this country with that device. You didn’t hear it here first, though – I want someone else to take the blame for that idea.

More info on the Church

More info on the Church of Nativity. The captors were making food and coffee on the altar. The monks asked them not to sleep in the grotto and they complied.

This is the place were the God’s innocence, humility, love, and mercy was born on this Earth. That should mean something to everyone, believers and unbelievers alike.
