It Made Me Want To See The Movie!

When I was a kid, before movies began to be rated G, M (now PG), R, and X, there were four words that always made me want to see the movie they described.  Those four words would make me practically beg my mom to let me see that movie.
(It never worked.  Never.)
And what were those four enticing, tantalizing words?
Not recommended for children.

Obama Awards Presidential Medal of Freedom to Abortion Activist Meryl Streep

Obama Awards Presidential Medal of Freedom to Abortion Activist Meryl Streep

According to the article, this isn't the first time Obama has honored abortion activists.  For example, last year he awarded
this medal to Gloria Steinem.  I blogged about it at the time, and I'm going to repeat what I said then:
If he could, Obama would canonize Margaret Sanger!

Changing a Tradition? Maybe

Well, in one more week it will be Advent, and a new liturgical year will begin.
I'm seriously thinking about changing a time-honored tradition;
I might make my New Year's resolution at the start of the Liturgical year, instead of waiting until January 1st.
And I'm going to make one short-term resolution right now:
I resolve NOT to make too many resolutions for the coming year.

The Sock and the Glove

Just a bit of nonsense.


The sock saw the glove
and fell in love;
The glove saw the sock
And was smitten.
Filled with desire,
They were wed in the dryer,
and became the parents of a mitten.
