She’s had a really popular post on the men/women dynamic in culture, [...]

The Buck Stops Here
I’m looking for an honest liberal. A liberal who will admit that the high cost of American healthcare is not primarily explainable in terms of the administrative and advertising costs of the private side of our healthcare industry.

Sex is Topic
August 31st, 2006 · No Comments · controversy-sex
Everywhere I look- sex, as in gender and roles and the ‘et al’ that goes with all of that, is the scintillating topic. This is good news for me since I am getting ready to continue the “Place of Women” and the gender discussions. An abundance of blog fodder is now available! The Anchoress and [...]

B-b-b-b-ad to the bone: Bad Faith
August 31st, 2006 · 1 Comment · Controversy, Culture, politics
I was over @ AbbaGav’s blog and he had the Watcher’s Council lineup. Within was highlighted a post called “Bad Faith” written by David Thompson.

August 29th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Catechism, Character

I missed the photo meme this week, and I haven’t been able to blog productively, either.
