man with black hat

the daily musings ...
of faith and culture, of life and love, of fun and games, of a song and dance man, who is keeping his day job.

Ah, for the days when "FOB" meant "Friend of Bill!"

Michelle Malkin writes: "What Julie Myers is to the Department of Homeland Security, Harriet Miers is to the Supreme Court. (Video of the announcement here via NYT).) It's not just that Miers has zero judicial experience. It's that she's so transparently a crony/'diversity' pick..." She should check with her pals at Fox News: "Bush noted Monday that neither the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist nor did 35 other Supreme Court nominees had judicial experience before being named to the country's highest court."

No prior experience -- as in, uh, no preconceived notions, ergo no agenda.

Discuss.

Raison D’Etre

  • “Our entire daily lives cannot be occupied with purely religious practices; all of us have to eat, and most of us have and want to do many other activities besides. So though we cannot always be religious in this sense, we can always be Catholic, that is, the round of our daily activities can be conducted in such a way as to express and be in harmony with our Faith. And [this] can involve more than avoiding sin and exercising virtue.”

    Thomas Storck,
    The Catholic Milieu
