Daily Ramblings:
In The Palace Of The Pope ...04/14/2005 03:14:07 pm
Speaking of unlikely bloggers,
Richard John Neuhaus is filing dispatches from
Rome on the First Things website (mind you, his Public Square column in that
magazine could be said to have been a seminal blog).
As I understand it he'll be in Rome for the duration
of this black smoke/white smoke business, and if
you're reading his observations you can probably feel
quite relaxed about skipping the talking heads in the
mainstream media.
From yesterday's post:
Returning from a meeting over
by the Borgia about an hour ago, I am accosted by
two well-dressed young men in front of the
Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, just
off St Peter's square. They are handing out
flyers with a photo of their candidate and the
legend "Santo Subito. Godfried. Your New
Pope." The reference is to Godfried Cardinal
Daneels of Belgium, and the two young Belgians,
taking me to be an American cardinal, tell me I
should vote for Daneels because he is
"pro-women and pro-condom." These
Europeans are so sophisticated.

Kudos to Charlie Daniels (who plays on Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait and New Morning) who is on a tour of Iraq and Afghanistan,
along with his band.
Addendum, 09:01:17 pm:
Thanks to visitor Don-o, who points out that Charlie
Daniels has a website. Who knew? - he's been blogging
for years, on what he calls his soapbox. There's so much wisdom in there I
might have to take a week off and read it all. From Terri Schiavo to the UN scandals to American policy on Israel and even Ward Churchill, Charlie is covering it all and
making pretty much everybody else redundant. Bookmark
it now while you still can.
