(Community Matters) Since I am no longer a catholic, I don’t often publicly comment on Vatican doctrine or its theology. I resisted opining on Pope Benedict XVI’s lifting of excommunication for a holocaust denying “bishop”. Nevertheless, the Pope’s strong statements in support of Judisam and solidarity with Jews as well as Williamson’s apologetic letter speak well for damage recovery. Posted from my blackberry

(Community Matters) An interesting and enlightening piece from Mother Jones’ David Corn who I met in DC last week and whose wife & children used our parade tickets (they were thrilled, they were in the bleachers where Pres. O and Michelle started walking)

(Community Matters) The Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce was invited to participate in a White House meeting, along with Fortune 50 corporate chiefs, on the stimulus plan.  excellent

(Community Matters) One of my all time favorite artists, Pierre Bonard, at the Met. Doesn’t include many of my favorite pieces I saw at the Tate in the late 90s or in DC late 2002, though many of the pieces in the current Met exhibit I might not have seen.  hmm . . .
