When you don’t actually believe in the Church it is easy to use it as a prop…

…thus does Nancy Pelosi “professed” Catholic misuse the faith. Update: She doesn’t have brass ovaries Joy, she just has no belief. Maybe I should send her a scapular.

I am not as angry as the Anchoress, I actually just spent the last two hours debating in a podcast a lapsed Catholic on the existence of God (more on that later tonight) so this doesn’t hit me so big. I am however wondering how sad St. Joseph must be at the moment.

Nancy just to remind you here is the link to what is required for Mortal sin. I think you’ve managed all three. If you want to know what real Catholics think click here.

I think the proper prayer for her would be the Litany of St. Joseph I’m going to pray it for her after this post goes up. I know it is very tempting to do otherwise but consider. You will not find hell any more bearable if someone you dislike is burning with you.

Meanwhile in the repressive state of Israel…

…the evil zionists held a protest attacking Palestinian culture by daring to suggest that honor killings might not be a good thing:

Sixty of these Israeli Arab Bedouin women recently came in busloads from the Negev to Nazareth to join a total of 500 Israeli Arabs in a protest against honor killings in their communities. They constituted the largest continent of women, “thanks to the work of Hind el Sana, a lobbyist in Shatil’s Bedouin Women’s Leadership Project.

It got some coverage in the Arab press but other than Pajamas media I haven’t seen any major network talk about it. It is important to note that although the killings being protested took place in the west bank and Gaza and among Israeli Arabs there was no mirror protest in Gaza. I’m sure this was a mere oversight and that Hamas would certainly have no problem allowing Arab women to protest freely.

I bet Zbigniew Brzezinski is actually proud…

…that people know him because of his daughter.

There is a bit of ego in play but every parent loves to see their children succeed and even more so if they surpass them.

However much I think he is bollocks on the issues I really get a kick on seeing him on Morning Joe, you can see very much how proud both he is of his daughter and vice versa.

Politics come and go, arguments wax and wane, policies become stale, but in the end the it is that bond between a father and daughter. That is something that really matters in life.

If that sounds like sentimental pap to you…well I like sentimental pap.
Even more fun is the In fact the Miley Cyrus emphasizes it. Cyrus hit Mika for suggesting that pole dancing on an ice cream truck might not have been the best choice for a program that is being sold to pre-teen girls. Her defiant answer concluded thusly:

It’s funny. I don’t know if a lot of parents remember what they were like as kids. But I’m like, ‘Dude, as if you were an angel!

Zbigniew answered that she wasn’t always an angel and the look on her face was priceless.

BTW Miley you have certainly grown up. You are old enough to make a fool out of yourself. 50 million parents are shaking their heads and saying “You’ll see”.

Around the blogroll St. Patrick’s day edition

Spent the night working on my taxes and at a hospitality meeting for my church.

Meanwhile in at a blog near you see see the following:

Camp of the Saints celebrates St. Patrick’s day by bringing on Rule 5 a few days early as he puts it “Erin go braless”.

How is it that visiting the camp of the saints tend to make a person want to sin?

Over at the DaHospitalityGuy’s place he talks on a much more serious note about anti-depressants and unemployment:

Am I depressed? Of course I am. Naturally who wouldn’t be? I’m without a job. I’m without my family. I miss reading to my daughter. I miss playing with my son. I miss giving hugs and kisses and hearing them say I love you daddy.

Do I need a pill to take those feelings away? No. I want to miss my children. I want to care. I have a purpose. I don’t want a pill to cover that up and make me feel artificially better.

I know things have been hard for me but If you have some prayers to offer, I’d send them his way first.

Meanwhile at Haemet the charming Roxeanne (yet another example of 20/40) reminds of that we conservatives have been declared defeated many times before:

In the fifteen months since the Left declared us to be a waning political group and a thing of the past, we’ve seen:

* The popularity of conservatism eclipse that of liberalism;
* “Swing state” Virginia elect a hard-core conservative a twenty-point margin;
* New Jersey elect a conservative governor;
* Prius-driving Bostonians go crazy over Scott Brown, who campaigned on the promise of stopping the liberals in DC; and
* Barack Obama’s approval ratings drop to the lowest point of any sitting President at this time in an administration.

Running score: Leftists, 0; conservatives, 1.

Have of the battle is the willingness to keep fighting.
