Church State
The University of Notre Dame has joined Catholic bishops in a lawsuit over the president’s contraception mandate. Many of these same Catholics pushed for government mandated health care in the first place. Actually, some still do.
Memorial Day Remembrance
At 3 pm on Memorial Day people will stop what they’re doing to remember those who make it possible.
I’m thinking of Adam Hamilton today.
Update: I meant to include this and left it out in the rush last week. It’s a column from the WSJ by Col. Tom Manion USMCR (retired), whose son was killed in Iraq.
Not everyone, however, was into the spirit of the day. Here’s Chris Hayes on MSNBC. And here’s his apology.
Biography
The White House website has inserted “did you know?” factoids about President Obama into its biographies of other presidents. For instance, did you know Obama is the Scrooge of presidential spending?
Here’s the Rex Nutting Market Watch piece purporting to show Obama is a tightwad. And here’s Ann Coulter saying Rex is Nuts.
Lockerbie
Megrahi has died, three years after being released from prison in Scotland on “compassionate grounds” because he had only three months to live due to prostate cancer.
