Saved it for later. I still have a headache. Short summary: I am thinking of staying on this blog instead of moving to a new one, and I saw the trailer for Brokeback Mountain and noted that it’s being given The Notebook treatment, no matter what the movie might actually be like. If I were […]
On the subject of European women converting to Islam Mark Shea discusses an email he got, where the writer said,
My childhood Catholicism was not providing answers, and I became interested in Islam by virtue of my working with a Pakistani muslim whose religion infused his entire life. Part of me wanted the same thing.

Leftist commenters and bloggers are always ragging on the right-leaning newspaper The Washington Times for being a project of the wacky cult of Reverend Sun Myung Moon. How come I never see any rightwing bloggers or commenters making note that respected news organ The Christian Science Monitor should be suspect because it is run by […]
Does the version of “Let There Be Peace On Earth” sung by a succession of higher and higher voiced singers that is currently playing on the radio make anyone else besides me want to take an axe to the nearest display of Christmas toys?

This statement has two parts which do not meet in the middle: “TOM MAGUIRE has lots of interesting stuff” and “mostly of the Plame / Woodward variety.”
