The Tuesday Morning Eudemon

Those crazy Wiccans: > The widows of two combat veterans sued the government Monday for not allowing Wiccan symbols on their husbands' military headstones. > The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs allows military families to choose any of 38 authorized headstone images. The list includes commonly recognized symbols

The Friday Eudemon

Groggy morning. The drinking club held its biggest fundraiser of the year last night. I went out early to sit on the deck, quaff a tall one, and enjoy a 68-degree day while overlooking the lake. Fortunately, I didn't stay late, but I'm still paying a

The Thursday Eudemon

Today is the feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran! What's that? It's " the oldest, and ranks first among the four great 'patriarchal' basilicas of Rome. [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09014b.htm]" You ever run across something only once a

The Wednesday Eudemon

No happy spirit this morning. I don't mind the Republican collapse yesterday, but the free sex and death culture's trifecta worries me: "South Dakotans rejected a law that would have banned virtually all abortions, Arizona became the first state to defeat an amendment to ban

The Tuesday Eudemon

Election day. Goodness knows, the Republicans deserve a slap, but I'd love to see the look on the collective MSM's face if the Dems don't at least win the House. They're drooling on themselves right now: the House, the Senate, the majority

The Tuesday Eudemon

My first issue of Rolling Stone [http://www.rollingstone.com/] arrived yesterday. Yup, I'm now a subscriber to the gray haired hippie rag. I received a subscription when I signed up as a member of the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame [http://rockhall.com/home/default.asp] during my

The Thursday Eudemon: Melvins, Juans, and Brucies

Possibly the best opening line of all news stories this week: A high school principal received a six-day suspension and a letter of reprimand for giving one of his students a wedgie [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,225123,00.html]. The rest of the story isn't

The Tuesday Eudemon

Surveying the Internet landscape, there's a mish-mash of semi-interesting stuff, but nothing worthy of an entire post, not even one of my 10-word ones. News for the stomach strong: Harry Potter will perform nude next summer [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,224037,00.html]. The story
