You don’t often see me make a formal endorsement of candidates but lets make a specific statement.

As a conservative Republican it is a given that I am supporting and/or endorsing the republican in any race unless I specify otherwise. (NY-23 special election for example).

A bad news FYI

You might have noticed a big interruption in blogging today. Things might be sporadic for the next few days.

My youngest son was hospitalized late Sunday night and the wife and I are pulling shifts at the bedside with him so my ability to blog is going to be severely curtailed until he gets home or until the hospital wi-fi decides it likes my laptop.

I’ll manage a post or two a day at least but intense blogging will have to wait until my son is home and I can get some rest.

Update: Should have also mentioned that approval of comments will be slow as well. I apologize to people who waited all day today, particularity to those who disagree with me, not ducking you, just was otherwise occupied.

Prayers are needed

In addition to my request for my friend the Right Wing Gamer, please pry for the soul of my Sister in Law’s Mom who died Friday and my son who spent several hours in the hospital with a nasty infection.

However have no fear, I have a bunch of scheduled posts coming up covering things from the Ground Zero Mosque, Tire Maintenance, and more chapters to the Field guide.

If you are in driving range of Fitchburg here are the details.

There will be a procession from St. Anthony School (Salem Street) containing the Banner of the Madonna, The local branch of the society, a honor guard from the Knights of Columbus and the parishioners and a band.

After a short prayer the procession will enter the church where the banner will be placed and Mass will be celebrated.

Rep Steven DiNatale of Fitchburg will briefly speak before the 1st reading on the devotion.

At the conclusion of Mass the Rosary will be said in English.

A second procession will then escort the Banner of the Madonna to the Church hall.

The Band will perform and Italian Food and pastry will be served.

The ceremony will conclude with the Rosary in Italian.

Things begin at 10 a.m. It would be a good idea to get there a little early for parking.

And no I didn’t pull a Rahm Emmanuel as suggested last year so I won’t make a buck off of it.
