BULLETS
September 2010
- MacKenzie Green, Miss D.C. USA 2010, says her “new obsession” is pole and lap dancing classes. “I would rather be dancing in a room on a pole to myself than feeling desperate to have to do it for some man to get attention.” Does she lap dance alone, too?
- It’s difficult to get lathered up over the refusal to bathe the Empire State Building in blue and white to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s birth. Bill Donohue’s manufactured controversy only shows the fatuity of the Catholic League.
- Two is Better than None? On Father’s Day, Pres. Obama saluted “nurturing families” with “two fathers,” perhaps because he never knew his own father.
July/August 2010
- Abstinence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder? Rep. Mark Souder resigned because of an affair with female staffer with whom he’d done a promo video endorsing teen abstinence.
- The White House as Hate Group. Arriving in Jerusalem's Old City in May to celebrate his son's Bar Mitzvah, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was heckled by Itamar Ben-Gvir. “You are an anti-Semite, a hypocrite who hates Israel!” Ben-Gvir shouted. “You want Israel to return to the 1967 borders. Shame on you!” Will someone please notify the SPLC and the ADL.
- “But what is missing so far from the flotilla clips on both sides is context: it is difficult to establish the sequence of events or, more simply, to determine who attacked first,” said the NY Times of Israel’s deadly June interception of ships bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza. Huh? Israeli commandos boarded a ship under cover of dark by sliding down cables from a helicopter and the Times wonders who attacked?
June 2010
- The surprise isn’t so much that the Republican National Committee paid for donors’ visits to a lesbian bondage club; rather, the surprise is that the media or Democrats object.
- “I’ve been wondering,” writes the NY Times’ Maureen Dowd, “given the vitriolic reaction of the New York archbishop to my column defending nuns and the dismissive reaction of the Vatican to my column denouncing the church’s response to the pedophilia scandal, if they are able to take a woman’s voice seriously.” Maureen, the Church reveres Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, and Therese of Lisieux as Doctors of the Church; it’s you she doesn’t take seriously.
- The Catholic League’s Bill Donohue questions whether the Pope should visit England, citing “ominous signs:” “over 100,000 Brits have signed ‘certificates of de-baptism’”; “hate-ridden atheists” are “paying anti-Catholic lawyers” to research “arresting the pope for ‘crimes against humanity;’” “Catholic bashing by the British media is flourishing;” and, “freedom of speech and freedom of religion are in a very tenuous state for Christians.” If the early Church had adopted Donohue’s approach, there’d have been no Age of Martyrs. St. Ignatius of Antioch, pray for us.
The final page of each monthly issue of Culture Wars consists of short commentary, entitled Bullets,
