The monkeys have taken over the circus.

A well-run circus keeps the animals safely locked away.  Monkeys are clever.  They have to be carefully locked inside cages.  If they get out, they cause havoc. Good circus management begins with keeping the monkeys under control. If the monkeys get out, they will go straight for the food, especially candy.  If they get into […]

Are we running out of time?

Yesterday’s column discussed a little-known fact:  the Sunday that The Church dedicates to John the Baptist is the Sunday which is nearest to June 21, the longest day of the year. The longest day of the year is, of course, halfway between the two shortest days, the preceding and following December twenty firsts.  December 21 […]

John the Baptist, midpoint of history and indication of its end.

The Sunday nearest the longest day of the year is dedicated to John the Baptist.   That Sunday is today, June 24, 2012. Why is that calendar date dedicated toJohn the Baptist, last of the prophets?  His coming to earth, announcing and baptizing Jesus, was what brought an end to the Old Testament.  We may consider that the […]

A sure-fire way to make money.

Recently, the nearby winner of a fifteen million dollar lottery prize had two auctions to turn some of what she’d bought with her winnings into ready cash.  The auctions were amazing.  Virtually new oriental rugs, purchased for several thousand dollars, sold for three to six hundred each.  Pieces of jewelry that sold for as much […]

Predictions. Televisions will be the size of eyeglasses, and wearable.

There are lots of concerns about the economy, especially in the United States and Europe.  There are few predictions. Here are some: 1.  Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Italy will continue to decline.  France and England will follow.  Soon, more Europeans will realize this basic:  “It is silly to have all these little, useless nations.  Each […]

What has gone horribly wrong?

Today, an exhaustive study was posted on on the internet.  It thoroughly debunked the claim that horizontal drilling for natural gas, a mile or more beneath the surface, caused dangerous earthquakes. For the past couple of years, professional alarmists had been spreading the fear that earthquakes were inevitably caused by horizontal drilling.  Now, the problem […]

What has let us see that liberals are filled with hate?

Most of us have, at various times, enjoyed watching liberals.  The lies were so blatant, so obvious, so utterly absurd that liberals were as much fun to watch as drunks in bumper cars. We’d watch them worry mightily about global freezing.  Then, we’d chuckle as they’d magically reverse themselves, portentously announcing that “Global Warming threatens […]

The biggest risk of all.

Lots of people have heard, and believe, that God is a forgiving God.  From this bit of information, they reach this conclusion:  “If I ask God to forgive me before I die, He will do so, and I will escape the eternal pains of Hell.” Technically, this position is correct.  If, in fact, we make […]

As bad as things are, it’s a wonder they aren’t worse.

When we look at the Birth Notices in our local newspapers, we find changes.  More children than ever are given names with little, if any, historical meaning.  A surprising number of children, both boys and girls, are being named  “Dakota”. Few who have been given that name have it preceded by “North” or “South”, so […]
