Something bad seems to have happened to it even as it was composing its comment. It's like those movie scenes where the killer catches up with someone just as he's phoning for help: Hello! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good abdaeefbeadcdaea I was initially flattered

Although it's a straightforward love song with no political, social, or religious content at all, the title of this song caught my eye as somehow appropriate to the political moment. In any case it's a nice '60s-girl-group kind of song. I discovered more or less by accident, while looking for a video for the song,

This is the thing I mentioned in the comments on an earlier post: a list of 125 or so people, active in either academia or punditry, who support Trump. I recognize maybe a quarter of the names. Of those, a fair number are people I respect–R.R. Reno of First Things, for instance. And I'm a little

When the Children of Israel left Egypt, the Lord had them stay in Succoth – temporary dwellings. As a reminder of the miracles that happened to them in the desert, during the Exodus, The Children of Israel are commanded, each year, to leave their homes and dwell in Succoth for seven days. They are also

For years I have been seeing this poem by Kipling described as having some sort of profound relevance. I read it, and it seemed interesting, but I didn't quite understand who these gods were supposed to be. It was only fairly recently that I learned the answer.
