No Need to Panic About Global Warming say 16 leading scientists.
A candidate for public office in any contemporary democracy may have to consider what, if anything, to do about "global warming." Candidates should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true. In fact, a large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed.

Apostates have privacy rights too.
A parish priest has apologised for publishing the names of people who decided to leave the Church.
Nicolaas Janssens revealed in a newspaper published by his parish who quit their membership last year. An expert on the protection of personal data and citizen rights told the Kurier today (Thurs) that those who found themselves on the list had good chances for success in a possible lawsuit. She stressed that there “is no public interest” in the names of the people who left the Catholic Church in 2011.
Janssens, who heads the parish of Sitzendorf an der Schmida in the province of Lower Austria, admitted today that he “did not act sensitively”. The clergyman said: “I did not mean to offend anybody.”

Oops.
We got to the lobby well ahead of our escort and paused, nonplussed. There was a huge cocktail party. Everyone was talking just as fast and loud as they could. The noise level was incredible. They were dressed up, some in rather garish clothing. Entering that riot of noise, especially after the day we'd had, was disorienting. We looked down at Zoe who was pressed against Rose's leg, obviously wondering what fresh hell we'd brought her to now. We looked again at that crowd and then the bellboy said, "Straight ahead, ma'am, and then through the bar to the elevators."

From Downsized: What I Learned After I Lost My Job a Year Ago
Here’s a fact: I have three regular part-time jobs now, and the reason I have each one of them is because of a white man. That may or may not have been the person who hired me (although in two cases it was), but my point of entry into every position was a white male.
What am I supposed to learn from that? That the patriarchy rules everything? That women who are in positions of power should do more to promote women climbing up thehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif ladder? That sexism is rampant, and the feminist battle isn’t over yet?
I guess I could.
Instead, I concluded it was white men who were most beneficial to me professionally. Because that’s the truth. Denying that is what’s problematic.

Christian Schneider writes that there's just too many birthday parties. I concur.:
On Saturday, my kids got excited for the afternoon birthday party to which they were invited. Then, they got excited for the other afternoon birthday party they were invited to. And they were even more excited for Sunday’s birthday party.Continue reading>>>
That’s right: three birthday parties this weekend. But that’s just the beginning.
The last acceptable prejudice:
The Brian Williams MSNBC debate in Florida was not only dreadfully boring — I never thought I could ever long for commercials — it was pathetic. Freed of the fear of triggering an avalanche of applause against loaded questions, Williams and his co-moderators couldn’t bring themselves to utter one single question asking the Republican candidates to respond to Obama’s mistakes. For almost two hours, not one Obama failure was cited. Apparently, his record is spotlessContinue reading>>>

Wouldn't this be great if Notre Dame simply refused to comply with Obama's HHS mandate:
A group of alumni from the University of Notre Dame wrote an open letter to University President Father John Jenkins urging him to take the strongest of stances by openly and publicly stating that the school named for Our Lady will never comply with the HHS contraceptive mandate.Continue reading>>>
They are urging Fr. Jenkins to flout and disregard the HHS mandate even under threat of federal action. This would be a bold move from the most well known Catholic university in America that would likely bring a level of national focus to this issue that hasn’t been seen yet.
Citing a lack of Catholic identity, a professor is resigning from Georgetown University and heading to the University of Notre Dame, according to an open letter he wrote and published at Front Porch Republic.

Rick Johnson at BetterDads.net writes:
This past season, several high-profile college head football and basketball coaches have been vilified and lost their jobs due to the perception that they harshly enforced disciplinary methods upon a player or players in their program. I’m not defending these coaches’ methods as I do not know the situation, but here’s what I do know. Many young men today, especially talented athletes, have been raised without a father or any other form of accountability or boundaries in their life. They have gotten whatever they want their entire lives. They do not understand the value of true leadership or the concept of respect. These young men rebel against any kind of discipline and despise authority figures. Even though they may in truth crave discipline, they have steered their own ship for too long. They have learned to do what they want, when they want, and so any kind of restrictions—whether it is healthy for them or not—are very uncomfortable. They instinctively resist accountability and become self-focused and self-absorbed. Without willingly acceding to the mentorship and authority of other men, young males with this attitude will struggle their entire lives, creating problems in the lives of those who love and depend upon them.Continue reading>>>
CMR buddy Chelsea writes why young people are trending pro-life:
Today, tens of thousands of pro-life people gathered in Washington D.C. for the annual March for Life, commemorating the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that struck down existing state laws protecting unborn children. For those who have been on the March or seen footage of it on EWTN (you can hardly see it anywhere else!) it’s hard not to take note of the youthfulness of the pro-life movement.Continue reading>>>

This has nothing to do with theology and everything to do with mudslinging for political gain. The fact that they're doing this as Catholic theologians makes it even more reprehensible. The Cardinal Newman Society reports:
In what has to be one of the most disgusting turns this 2012 campaign season has taken, more than 40 national Catholic leaders and prominent theologians from universities like Notre Dame, Boston College, and Fordham among others signed onto an open letter today urging “fellow Catholics Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum to stop perpetuating ugly racial stereotypes on the campaign trail.”Continue reading>>>
