7 Quick Takes: June 27. The new normal is slowly emerging. Of course it is being foiled by the ever-changing sleep patterns of our newborn.and toddler. Who's children are these who wake up at 6:00am? There are no early birds in this family. Someone must have abducted them and replaced them with these terrible early morning-risers. Most of the time Peep just jumps to his heart's content, but recently he's decided that maybe it would be really cool to combine the trampoline with the furniture. Speaking of ...

The American Commoner : July 2013
http://theamericancommoner.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Either the sharp, spot-on Commentary of a Bright Intellectual Visionary or the Ramblings of a Confused Man. Friday, July 12, 2013. A little hokey, I realize. His name is "Reddy Kilowatt.". Once upon a time, there was a company called "Wisconsin Electric Company." Then, it changed its name to "WE Energies.". I really shouldn't be as upset about this as I am, but I am. Perhaps most people seeing the original name would think "Oh, how quaint! Reminds me of Monopoly.". If I want someone to manufacture my mot...

Either the sharp, spot-on Commentary of a Bright Intellectual Visionary or the Ramblings of a Confused Man. Monday, April 23, 2012. The Value of the Free Market. Recently, during my jaunt through my usual internet activity, I encountered two quotes. "In a democracy, like in any open market, having everyone pursue their own self-interest is supposed to generate the best outcome for society.". How is any of that good for society? Maybe not, but I suspect that an industry based on quality will do better tha...

Either the sharp, spot-on Commentary of a Bright Intellectual Visionary or the Ramblings of a Confused Man. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. The University according to the Liberal Arts. Simul-posted at IgnitumToday.com. My very own Catholic University. Does it actively promote a healthy faithful spirituality? Does it hire orthodox professors? Is its mission to form its students in mind and heart? Does University policy conform to Catholic teaching both Social and otherwise? Knowledge, wisdom,. Is it enough...

Either the sharp, spot-on Commentary of a Bright Intellectual Visionary or the Ramblings of a Confused Man. Friday, June 28, 2013. Quality vs. Control. I recently purchased, with the monetary aid of a decidedly non-federal source (my brother), a 2006 Ford Focus. Ok, that's not quite accurate, but it sounded funny in my head. Why do I love Fords? Besides the release of " With the Beatles. Perhaps I love Fords because they are an All-American company which worked. You know, the American Dream, baby....

To avoid my vote being associated with either of these two bastions of evil, I have only one choice. And that's why I'm voting Independent. Friday, October 19, 2012. Why I'm voting for Obama. Well, it is not our duty to question the wisdom of the ages but to accept it. No pun intended.). Well, because this is about voting for Obama, right? I don...

Either the sharp, spot-on Commentary of a Bright Intellectual Visionary or the Ramblings of a Confused Man. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. So why am I a monarchist? And we are indulgent. We have bloated our sense of "rights." Now, the highest of all rights is the right to privacy and control over one's own self. Not only does this reject any sense of authority (oh, that evil word!

Either the sharp, spot-on Commentary of a Bright Intellectual Visionary or the Ramblings of a Confused Man. Thursday, February 13, 2014. This can not go on. If we are to have any credibility in court, if we are to be believed that we care about these issues, if we wish to maintain our identity as the sons and daughters of Fr. Sorin, we will resist the temptation to give in to the pressures of prestige and money. St Thomas More, Pray for us. Notre Dame du Lac, Pray for us. Who is the American Commoner?

Et habitavit in nobis. Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariæ,. Et concepit de Spiritu Sancto. Fiat mihi secundum Verbum tuum. Et Verbum caro factum est. Et habitavit in nobis.
