Dynasty Baseball Player needed

Unfortunately our Dynasty baseball league lost a player and as league Treasurer I will be the “interim” manager for the orphan team.

Although the game is pretty good I’m not really looking to go back to our league full time so a new full-time manager is in order.

If you are in the central Massachusetts area or can be on a weekly basis and are interested in joining a face to face tabletop baseball league that has been active in the area for 21 years then leave a message in comments and we can get the ball rolling.

Safe legal and rare; lets see how that works…

For all of those who try to make the Abortion compromise business as the president suggested or argue about “hey how can you vote for War and be Catholic” lets play the “Safe legal Rare game”:

You can use that phrase with the word “War”

War should be “Safe”…for civilians.

“Legal” because a country has to right to defend itself or defend its future.

and “Rare” because War should never be the first resort.

Ok now try that with:

Slavery, or Torture, or genocide.

You can’t use that phrase with it because they are intrinsic evils. The same is true of abortion. It just doesn’t work.

This is the argument that should come out every time. This and Nordlinger’s question on why should Abortion be rare if it isn’t wrong?

Update: Added links

Ok he spoke now what?

Well President Obama gave his speech at ND some thoughts.

The speech itself was frankly forgettable, his speech in Arizona was far superior (no matter what Rush said concerning it).

The Protests were rather large and the media’s total ignoring of any protest outside of eyeshot of the event was lame but predictable.

The few protesters at ND who heckled him did us no favors.

Till the very last moment Catholic Students, Catholic Teachers and Catholic Priests had the chance to do the right thing. They failed. We all fail and Catholics have confession to fall back on. May they take advantage of it quickly.

The damage to the Catholic nature of the school can’t be measured. As almost no Catholic Schools commented their silence condemns them as well. My decision to send my son to a secular school (aided by the scholarship) looks really good.

I know that a Canon suit is being filed against the school. I can’t see how the school can win.

Now that the event is over a forced transfer of Jenkins by the Bishop or by the Vatican would certainly be in order.

This is going to cost ND for decades.

Yup we lost 2 game 7’s in Boston in one week.

6:49 a.m. Barnicle: We had to bankrupt the village in order to save it.

7:02 a.m. Hate mail for Joe.

7:03 a.m. If they liked that ND speech then they didn’t see the same speech that I did.

7:04 a.m. Some people on the left are haters, True just check out the evening lineup on MSNBC.

7:05 a.m. I don’t know who the young guy is but he is right about the birth certificate and the Muslim thing, Pat not withstanding.

7:06 a.m. Open hearts open minds. Put the words “slavery” or “torture” there and see what happens.

7:20 a.m. Shrum is a joke but again but on Dick if the republicans were in such trouble why does MSNBC go nuts on us? Why aren’t they ignoring us.

7:22 a.m. Dick Cheney is winning the argument, he would rather get the security stuff right than win the votes.

7:25 a.m. Shrum is attacking the CIA that’ll work out well.

7:27 a.m. Either Leon is lying or Nancy is. He claims that he is defending the CIA for appearances sake.

7:28 a.m. Absolutely Nancy is telling us a truth. Her stories add up completely.

7:30 a.m. He is doing it with a straight face that’s why he gets the big bucks. Nobody on Joe is willing to put up with Shrum’s BS.

7:31 a.m. My God these people at on the show are acting like ACTUAL REPORTERS! No wonder Joe has faith in newspapers, they assume that reporters at the papers act like these guys.

7:35 a.m. My mother just showed up to take me to breakfast for my birthday. So I’ll be outta here shortly.
