Received via e-mail this morning. Inspirational even to this heathen. “Grace is everywhere.” These were the final words of the curé in Bernanos’ famous novel, “Diary of a Country Priest.” One does not have to be religious to be aware of how much has been given to us and how this knowledge moves us to…

(Hitchens points out that he was pre-empted from doing…
On the WPRO Matt Allen (scowling person at top of page) Show tonight, Republican House Rep Joe Trillo revealed that he had tried to persuade Moderate gubernatorial candidate Ken Block to convert to Republicanism, going so far as to offer Block a leadership role in the RIGOP. Mr. Block declined and went on to garner…
… minus the horses, of course, because, after all, bringing a horse to school is as dangerous as bringing a loaded firearm. Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School senior Dan Depaolis, 17, was suspended for two days after he rode a horse into the school’s parking lot while wearing medieval garb as part of a spirit week…
