A few thoughts while heading into Easter weekend and wondering if and when Butterscotch and Marlie will start learning to accept each other as bunny mates:
Tough opening day loss for the Sox, but with perennial closer Jonathan Papelbon now in Philadelphia and acquired closer Andrew Bailey out until the All-Star break it’s a whole new ballgame, bullpen-wise. Sox fans are gonna find out just how much they took Pap for granted. With Daniel Bard as set-up man and Papelbon closing, at least as far as pitching went, it was a seven-inning game. Now those eighth and ninth innings are going to seem as if they last an eternity.
Can we finally all admit that liberals are the least tolerant people in the world? After all, stories like this are like a drumbeat played over and over again in the media every single day:
But it wasn’t just a hostility to Catholics, of course, that was on display.
Lorraine Sheinberg, a Feminist Majority board member and filmmaker may have best summed up the tenor of the times when she said: “I know we are not supposed to talk about other people’s religion. I don’t give a damn, because I have none.”
We used to value the right to believe or not to believe. Now we are confining that troublesome religion thing to the inside of places of worship, not to be practiced in the public square.
Whether it’s attacking Catholicism or Christianity in general, the constant war on religion on the part of the secular left is not just breathtaking in its scope, it’s also disheartening, for these are truly sad and miserable people whose very souls are in danger. As hard as it is to pray for them, I do, praying for a change in their hearts and minds because you never know what might happen.
Enough bad news. This is a pretty cool story.
While I respect Florida senator Marco Rubio a lot, I think he’s jumping the gun here. Not with respect to Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul – both of whom should do the honorable thing and drop out – but with Rick Santorum. Of course, were Santorum to lose his home state primary to Mitt Romney, the game’s over. It probably is now, but I think you gotta give Rick a chance to see how well he does in Pennsylvania first.
Santorum is digging a HUGE hole for himself in future GOP political circles with his campaign; both in keeping it going and the personal tenor of it.
The most recent poll shows him behind Romney in PA, where he earlier was ahead by double digits a little more than a month ago.
If he stays in long enough to lose his own state Santorum will kill any chance for him to resurrect himself in the eyes of GOP voters if he wants to run in 2016 (if, God forbid, Romney doesn’t win in November) or 2020.
His problem is that he doesn’t believe he’s running a mere campaign – Santorum is on a religious Crusade, and those are tough things to give up on.

Couldn’t agree with you more, bro. Not sure what Santorum’s political future is, but it sure isn’t the 2012 GOP race.
