American’s knowledge of religion shallow?
Stephen Prothero, author of the recently published Religious Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know — And Doesn’t, agrees that the Good Samaritan story is germane to the immigration debate because it is all about how Jesus said we should treat strangers.
“First of all, how many Americans actually know the Good Samaritan...

More on Catholic education rights →
My brother made a lengthyreply (that’s the only kind he
does, I’m afraid) to my post on Catholic
education rights in Ontario. Youcan go read it in it’s entirety, I shan’t quibble on legal points, that’s for sure.
However, he misreads my intentionre: protection of Catholic rights.
I’m not overly fearful for Catholic rights in Ontario, Canada, or elsewhere...

(i) evidence that the offence was motivated by...

Down the memory hole? →
I just read on Gateway Pundit that the media had fallen for another “insurgents slaughter many”-type story, likely fed to
them by an AQI propagandist / stringer. I was currious
about what CBC had said about this story but when I click on the
link …. Curious. Probably just a server error.

Latimer →
Robert on Latimer:
My own view is that the Court arrived at the right decision when it held that Mr. Latimer’s conviction and sentence had to be upheld. In Canada we have not even come to a societal consensus on the issue of assisting a person of full mind commit suicide (see the Sue Rodriguez case). The issues around a parental killing of child who is disabled and unable to communicate...

I had the unfortunate experience of having the Toronto Star in my house this morning. Ahem:

Bad jokes on CBC →
CBC radio just had a story about the Hollywood writer’s strike. During the story the announcer mentioned “they’ve have
stopped writing lines and started walking the line”. Funnyish, but not bad delivery. Too bad there wasn’t a producer’s strike
though — then CBC could tell us that the producers are walking the line after, of course, stopping doing...

Michelle Mann:
The public funding for Catholic schools issue has been simmering away on Ontario’s backburner for a while, with
Newfoundland and Quebec already having faced it down in the 1990s (and Manitoba too, but in 1890).
Note that I can’t speak to what Quebec did, but Newfoundland didn’t have a Catholic school issue, it had a no-non-religious
school issue.

Poverty in America
This is amusing (from Reason Magazine):
Overall, the typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a
clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He has two color televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD
player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded. By...
Withdraw from Korea
This would be a phenomenal time for the US to withdraw it’s 37,000 troops from Korea, save a few bucks and
incidentally let South Korea grow the fuck up a little. Yahoo News:
Taliban militants agreed Tuesday to release 19 South Korean church volunteers held hostage for
six weeks after Seoul reaffirmed
a pledge to withdraw its troops by year’s end and prevent Christian...
