Tell us where it hurts.
Also, I nearly forgot to post a link submitted several days ago by Josh. Sorry, Josh!
It’s not my typical cup of tea, since I think the profiled Dr. Mann was caught engaging in scientific fraud.
For whatever ideologically motivated reasons, the so-called hockey stick was not given a skeptical treatment by the media—to this day, in fact. The way Mann has been coddled would be the equivalent of having the mainstream media treat Trump’s stolen election claims as unquestionably proven and factual. The hockey stick is simply that egregiously awful. Yet Mann is still treated as a serious scientist and his claims are treated as if irrefutable and true. It’s ridiculous.
I suppose the main lesson is that if you’re on the right side of an issue, there is no amount of lying and fraud that won’t be accepted as above-board and authoritative. You could be forgiven for being appalled, I suppose. End of rant.
Asuncion de Maria just phoned "to ask for a really big favor." I was afraid she was going to tell me she couldn't be at Mass today, and I would have to be in charge of the music with Don Manuel, the extremely elderly Puerto Rican guitarist.
Actually, she just wanted me to make a few extra copies of one of the pages of lyrics. A teeny tiny favor. *Whew.*
Good morning on Sunday. As the Scriptures tell us: "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6).
War has broken out once again in Israel.
