A tale of Two letters

I mentioned the letter I sent to the Bishop of Worcester Mass. concerning my visit to Anna Maria College and the letter I received in response from Anna Maria’s president Jack P. Calareso.

I stated that I would hold off putting up my letter until I talked to him to get permission to put his response up. I’m pleased to say that he has not only given that permission AND said he would welcome questions or comments from readers about the college AND referred me to specific posts at his blog , AND sent me a copy of an article of his from the Catholic Free Press.

Anyway the letters are below the fold with a few comments after them… (more…)

Just call me an antique

You know it takes a lot of money and an ivy league education to say something this stupid:

Junior Emma Sloan told the Yale Daily News that the idea that men and women are necessarily attracted to the opposite sex is “antiquated.”

This quote is in the subtext of deciding “whether Yale should allow juniors and seniors to live with roommates of the opposite sex, an accommodation demanded in the name of transgender students.”

This is a Nelson award winner and then some. It deserves the full Nelson.

By an odd coincidence the youngest told me yesterday that he has a girl. They have been texting each other quite a bit this weekend. I think I won’t let Emma decide if they should be allowed in his room together upstairs unsupervised.

I don’t think highly of Deleware Liberals opinons…

…but his online poll is VERY funny.

Most in need of family time, priceless.

Remember when the Lancet was a medical journal?

Instead of a propaganda organ. It’s hard to do so isn’t it? Tim Blair reports on the amazing disappearing post about bombs that vaporize everything silently:

We have taken down the blog post The wounds of Gaza because of factual inaccuracies.

Funniest line in their Mea Culpa:

We do not endorse any particular side of a debate

Nice job, I’m sure the phony report will suffer the same fate as the phony Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

I’m glad I wasn’t drinking when I read that.
