Saturday Food For Thought
The Anchoress linked to an article in one of her round-ups which offers thoughts on motherhood from a perspective unlike the typical associations.
For example, the mother who stays home with small children experiences a very real withdrawal from the world. Her existence is definitely monastic. Her tasks and preoccupations remove her from the centres of power and social importance. And she feels it. Moreover her sustained contact with young children (the mildest of the mild) gives her a privileged opportunity to be in harmony with the mild, that is, to attune herself to the powerlessness rather than to the powerful.
It’s nice to read a piece which offers encouragement and praise to those Moms who can afford and choose to stay at home with children. To me it is the toughest but most rewarding job one can have.
Yep! (And this goes for all who choose to run for POTUS.)
In presidential politics, the past is not just prologue. It’s ammunition.
The test of President Bush’s Saturday morning radion address is offer in full here. I choose this site as the commentary following the President’s remarks are worthy of note.
If this seems nuts, it is; but it is the world we live in, and the world that Nancy Pelosi is determined to preserve for her contributors in the plaintiffs’ bar.
The FISA bill which will expire at midnight is essential not only for the safety of America but those who reside overseas and yes for the lives of our military also. It is a complete and utter travesty (though somehow not surprising) that the Democrats in the House have chosen to go into recess without completion of this important task.
A masterpiece in less than a minute?
Enjoy!
