NRO

Ahem. I too have a piece on NRO this week. Published yesterday, that is Thursday January 26. If you scroll down to the articles archive towards the bottom of the page, look me up under "Vigilante."

My husband is out of town this weekend, so Sophia and I look forward to a long, leisurely weekend of takeout food and DVDs. We're going to start with "George of the Jungle," one of the finest man-and-ape films ever made. By tomorrow night we will both be releasing our inner Queen of the Jungle. I love empowerment!

  2. Maybe I'm just a bit slow this morning, but could you enlighten me as to what NRO is and where I might find your article?

    Thanks.

  5. Have you considered adding links to the websites you cite? Kind of what makes it a weblog.

    Good article

  6. What the the O in NRO stand for? Offal? Obnoxiousness? OxyContin?

  7. I just wish someone would come out and say, at the beginning of the article, (before getting into personalities and ranking on people for their insufficient grasp of the separation of church and state) what Opus Dei actually is.

    Everyone seems to think everyone already knows. But there is plenty of evidence that many people don't. All the proof I need rests in the sales figures for Dan Brown's book.

  8. Well, you see, this is exactly the wrong place to relay such information.

    This is the kind of pertinent background material that should be included in an article that appears to be written solely to snark at ... what? State-supported ignorami? People who aren't catholic? People who derive their knowledge of religious organizations from popular fiction?*

    Call me a starry-eyed optimist, but somewhere, some time, someone will write an article in which Opus Dei is mentioned and he or she will include a brief description of the organization.

    Desperate Irish Housewife might think it's general knowledge, but general knowledge isn't as generally known as it used to be.

    *It's happened before. Read Ivanhoe and see what Scott had to say about the Knights Templar.

    Guess what? Mr. KIA thinks there's a hidden society of wizards walking round in our midst and doing magic at this very moment! After all, J. K. Rowling's books sell quite as well as DVC, so they must be true, according to this reasoning.

  11. Christopher, you ARE a wicked, wicked boy. Bad, wicked, and naughty like your distant cousin, Zoot. (Monty Python, anyone?)

    In the time Mr. KIA took to write those two comments, he could have gone to the Opus Dei website
    himself and read about it. It's not that difficult to find, especially since it's the first link when you Google it. *sigh*

    ...and then he goes and believes you. Sometimes, when we try to be outrageous enough that everyone gets it, no one gets it. At least, that happens to me all the time, anyway.
