“I’ve come to realize that just about everything is none of my business”

– Bro. Cassian Vigna

John Edwards whined yesterday to an Iowa audience that ” . . . they want to shut me up.”

He was kind of vague about who “they” are, exactly, but I’m going to venture a guess:

They = Just about everybody.

Now if he’d just listen to the voice of the people.

And shut up.

If these guys aren’t careful, they’re going to bump headlong into God.

Money Quote (from a letter by Albert Einstein, consoling the family of a close friend who had recently died):

“Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

Sounds oddly similar to the theological description of God as being outside the confines of time, doesn’t it?

[God's] knowledge, like his existence, is measured by eternity, which in one and the same instant encompasses all time; so his gaze is eternally focused on everything in time as on something present …What happens in time is known by us in time, moment by moment, but by God in an eternal moment, above time.  (Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiæ 14.13)

Hmmmm…….

I’ve never heard of Tom Piatak before about 10 minutes ago, but man did he ever just lay the wood to über-atheist Christopher Hitchens. He even did it without being hateful and snarky (which in the age of the internet will probably be seen as a failing. Could even get him banned).

Anyway, tolle lege, y’all: Taki’s Top Drawer: Hitchens’ Hubris

Remember the good ol’ days, when a football player could murder his ex-wife and a complete stranger, but still get off scot-free?  Nowadays, some quarterback kills a couple dogs, and they won’t even let him show up for work.

Two surprises here: Not only is St Bernard of Clairvaux blogging, nearly 800 years after he died (which, let’s face it, is pretty impressive in and of itself), but what’s more, he’s surprisingly up-to-speed on cutting-edge moral theology issues, such as what to do if you get bitten by a zombie.

Prisoners copyright their names, sue Warden for infringement.

I especially like the part where they file liens on his house and cars.

Why not? Seems like an entertaining way to spend all that free time, and besides, what’re they gonna do, throw them in jail? In any case, It’s not like they can really hide from the long arm of the law once they get busted. I wonder if they hired attorneys to do this work for them, you know, pro bono.

From an AP article about the World Series of Poker:

The final table says a lot about the globality of poker and the globality of our fans,” said Jeffrey Pollack, World Series of Poker commissioner for event owner Harrah’s Entertainment Inc.

Really, is globality a word? And if it is, should it be? I mean, I’m just an English teacher and  an attorney, I don’t know anything about, you know, language or anything like that, but that just seems wrong – on several different levels.

Sadly enough, it takes a fake news site to boil down all the nonsense we hear on the “real” news.

Wrestler Benoit Had Steroids In System

Gosh, didn’t see that coming.
