On politics (which ain't beanbag), conservative ideas and politics (in general, we should oppose any attempt to immanentize the eschaton), sports (when does football season start?), teaching and education (polished apples are welcome), and pop culture.

At the sports desk: favorite teams update
Things didn't get any better for the Notre Dame men's hoops team--they lost again, at home, to Marquette, 71-64. Again--couldn't hit key shots when it counts, couldn't step up defensively and get key stops. The season stands in real danger of spiraling out of control now--and this for a team everyone thought would be a lock to get in the NCAAs. That's not so now. And next, they have to go to Pittsburgh, ranked #3 in the country, and very tough and physical. Maybe the Irish can make it us-against-the-world, and that will help. Maybe. But it doesn't seem likely.
