- To Behold the Beauty of the Lord May 18, 2013By using the elements of this world, Art reveals to us a depth which is logically inexpressible. It is in fact impossible to “tell” poetry, to “decompose” a symphony, or to “tear apart” a painting. The beautiful is present in the harmony of all its elements and brings us face to face with a truth that cannot be demonstrated or proved, except by contemplating […]fatherstephen
- True Justice May 18, 2013After writing about the death penalty recently, I was reflecting about the real meaning of Justice. It's tempting to think that Justice refers to the thing which happens (or should have happened) in Law Courts. And of course we hope that the laws and the "justice system" will work out in a way which is actually just. However, there is a sen […]Aron Wall
- The scandals, the public, and the left: believe it May 18, 2013The last week or so has been filled with so much news that I can hardly keep up despite spending a ton of time reading and listening and thinking. You probably feel the same way. And yet I know—I am nearly positive—that way too few people are paying much attention at all. Why would they? Boring stuff, much less interesting than—well, take your pick of whatev […]neo-neocon

- Tinker, Taylor, Compass, Wig: Russia's Amusing American Spy Scandal May 18, 2013The Cold War may have ended over twenty years ago, but it's an open secret that the US and Russia continue to spy on each other. The uncovering of a Russian spy-ring three years ago in America demonstrated that for the SVR (Russia's CIA equivalent), old habits die hard. This week showed that the same holds true for the CIA, when on Tuesday 14 May 2 […]Daniel Alan Kennedy
- Totus Porcus : The Difference it Makes: Hillary's Fingerprints on the Benghazi Video Narrative May 18, 2013âWith all due respect, the fact is, we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or because of guys out for a walk one night who decide to kill some Americans, what difference, at this point, does it make?âThus did Hillary Clinton dismiss the question of why she blamed the attack on our Benghazi compound, resulting in the death of Ambassador C […]Totus Porcus
- Review of Star Trek: Into Darkness May 18, 2013(Ilya Somin) My wife and I recently watched Star Trek: Into Darkness, the second in the series of J.J. Abrams-directed”reboot” Star Trek movies that began in 2009. On the plus side, the film had some impressive action scenes and special effects. It also had more and somewhat better character development than its predecessor. Long-time fans of the series migh […]Ilya Somin

- The Poisoned Chalice May 18, 2013Perhaps the most incisive comment on the Obama administration’s plague of scandals comes from the National Journal. It argues that the scandals will hurt the Republicans “by enraging the base and strengthening the faction least willing to compromise with Obama, the IRS and Benghazi affairs could hurt a GOP shot at the presidency.” In other words the scandals […]Richard Fernandez

Meanwhile, even the Onion is starting to notice the stench.At the very least, this is a spectacular failure of oversight for Obama, with whom the buck stops. What remains to be seen is how far up the command chain this stuff goes. […]Mark Shea
