Spatula: June 2012
http://aspatula.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 9, 2012. New York: Robert Appleton Company,. As many now know, authoritarian governments from the past are not the only ones who seek to increase control over their populace. In 2011, despite earlier promises to the contrary ( http:/ www.usccb.org/news/archived.cfm? Thus began a struggle between the State and the Church that Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria, IL, characterized as another Kulturkampf ( http:/ www.thecatholicpost.com/post/PostArticle.aspx? 8211; this is his entire homily, not th...

Spatula: December 2011
http://aspatula.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 12, 2011. Hitler and Chamberlain at Munich. Mel Brooks famously said, "But by using the medium of comedy, we can try to rob Hitler of his posthumous power and myths." I humbly offer the notion of Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain discussing something more mundane than the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia at the Munich Conference:. Links to this post.

Spatula: SEC Football in Big Trouble
http://aspatula.blogspot.com/2012/07/sec-football-in-big-trouble.html
Monday, July 23, 2012. SEC Football in Big Trouble. Today, Mark Emmert, NCAA president, issued a series of wholly justifiable and appropriate sanctions against Penn State (my alma mater) football in the wake of the damning Freeh report on the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal involving little boys. If you think this is ridiculous, but that Penn State deserved the sanctions and penalties it received for letting its football program get out of hand, then you’re a hypocrite.

Spatula: "Europe" is Dead
http://aspatula.blogspot.com/2008/02/europe-is-dead.html
Saturday, February 23, 2008. Without Christian or Jewish faith and without faith in the perfectibility of humans, what was left? People could have faith in governments or political parties, but those are not constant. People could have faith in themselves, but, since individuals grow and change over time, this too was not constant. People could believe in some form of Existentialism, but this ends up believing in nothingness or simply believing in oneself. Either way, this is not permanent. Humans are no...

Spatula: June 2011
http://aspatula.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 19, 2011. Liberals and Conservatives Don't Get It. Ideology replaced independent thought. Now, propaganda has replaced ideology. Maybe that’s why Stewart and Wallace couldn’t “get” each other. Maybe that’s why we get the government we deserve – a government increasingly run by unelected bureaucrats. Links to this post.

Spatula: It's Official
http://aspatula.blogspot.com/2012/06/its-official.html
Saturday, June 9, 2012. It's official - Hollywood has run out of ideas. People have been saying this for a while, but we now have incontrovertible proof. Tim Burton is remaking his 1984 short film, Frankenweenie. Yep, one of the great cinematic masterpieces will be back on the big screen. Well, at least it will be in 3-D. I guess that's original.

Spatula: September 2012
http://aspatula.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 17, 2012. The Staggering Idiocy of Self-Censorship. The Alan Roberts film, The Innocence of Muslims. The documentary is available on Youtube, but not in the US: http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? However, it is available at LiveLeak: http:/ www.liveleak.com/view? Western society, in some misguided attempt to be polite, is letting the unreasonable ruin our lives. As I’ve noted before ( http:/ aspatula.blogspot.com/2008/02/europe-is-dead.html.

Spatula: Academicians are weenies
http://aspatula.blogspot.com/2013/11/academicians-are-weenies.html
Thursday, November 21, 2013. Why are academicians such chichi liberals? Or worrying about hyper-machoism (this from a guy who couldn’t punch his way out of a wet paper bag). I want to talk about such mundane issues as the search for truth in history, but I must not be a real historian because I’m not rending my garments over the various oppressors in our midst (as a white male, I qualify as two oppressors). Historians who don’t drink are not real historians. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
