…hasn’t commented on the Notre Dame Scandal on his blog. In fact his last post was back in march.

I’d be really interested in knowing what the school’s or his position on the Notre Dame scandal is. As the president of a Catholic University who has assured me in writing that…

we proclaim and practice our core identity as a Catholic and sisters of St. Anne institution in the classroom, through our programs and services, and in our practices on and off campus.

I would think he would have an opinion on the subject. A search of google news doesn’t show any hits for him. I think it would be interesting to know what he and other presidents of Catholic Universities think about this.

Via the American Papist which is really where you should check first on any Catholic issue.

I’ll take him over Fr. Reese any day.

I actually think this ND stuff is why he didn’t do the national day of prayer thing.

Nancy Pelosi doesn’t seem to have a firm grasp of language as he maintains this proves she didn’t know about waterboarding:

“As this document shows, the speaker was briefed only once, in September 2002,” said Daly. “The briefers described these techniques, said they were legal, but said that waterboarding had not yet been used.” (emphasis mine)

Let me give a message to the speaker of the house, when someone says: “Not Yet” that means its going to happen and I can speak from the following experience:

Back when I was dating my wife we went to cape cod for Valentine’s day. I had a comic store at that time and sold baseball cards. We visited a store on the cape and was talking to the owner. I then introduced Valery and had this exchange:

“Is this your wife?”

“Not Yet.”

At this point the alarms went off in my head and in her eyes. I hadn’t proposed yet, although I was thinking of it. In fact a friend who was so convinced that I would rush to propose bet me that I couldn’t hold off till May. I took that bet.

For the rest of the day she looked at me with a big grin. The next morning I explained the bet and asked her hypothetically if she would marry me. She hypothetically agreed and we planned the wedding on the spot.

So after 21 years of marriage Nancy let me tell you something; if someone says “Not Yet” that means it’s coming, as if you didn’t know.

…is dead at 92.

If his brother Joe never made the majors Dominic might have been a bigger name in baseball, but he was still a 7 time all star.

Big loss for baseball but a very fine life.

Update: The Red Sox did manage to score a few without him yesterday.
