They already went for broke
Sheila Liaugminas | 30 January 2010
The Chicago Sun-Times filed for bankruptcy in 2009, and that wasn’t
a surprise to those of us who found little in it worth reading besides
the Sports section. But now they’re doing this odd thing, mixing bold-faced and
unabashed abortion advocacy with a principled call for free and fair
speech by pro-life advocates.
About that Supreme Court decision…

The one President Obama misrepresented in his State of the Union
address, to the dismay of Justice Alito (which the media focused on
more than on the misrepresentation of it)…..
SOTU in check
Sheila Liaugminas | 28 January 2010
That alone, the move by big media to fact-check
the president’s State of the Union address, is almost as astonishing a
reversal as was president Obama’s and the Democratic Congressional
leadership’s since last Tuesday’s loss of Ted Kennedy’s seat in
Massachusetts to a Republican, taking away their 60 seat majority.
After Massachusetts… Illinois?
Sheila Liaugminas | 28 January 2010
Whatever ‘long-shot’ chances some upstart politicians may have had
before in the upcoming Illinois primary, may have been significantly
boosted by the major upset in Massachusetts when Scott Brown beat the
Democrat for Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Senate.
Got change?
Sheila Liaugminas | 28 January 2010
Did those three election losses (New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts) tell Democratic leadership anything about the mood and will of the people at this point in time?
No choice
Sheila Liaugminas | 27 January 2010
This had to happen sooner or later. It’s interesting how the
euphemistic marketing campaign behind the abortion movement that’s
helped them change laws and language in this country for so long is
coming to light more and more now over….a Super Bowl commercial. Oh,
the irony.
Super Bowl drama

Oh yeah…the Colts and the Saints and the sportscasters are hyping it, too.
Are we in a ‘culture war’?
Sheila Liaugminas | 25 January 2010
I’m on a brief trip, and grabbed two books to bring with. Tough
task, given the depth and breadth of my backup reading list and the
library already spilling over to piles on the office floor….
Tell the folks, let them decide

How to read the news
Sheila Liaugminas | 24 January 2010
When a ‘newspaper’ isn’t
Sheila Liaugminas | 24 January 2010
On Friday, January 22, the Chicago Tribune did not mention that it
was the 37th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision nor that
for the past 36 years the March for Life has been held on that day on
the Mall of Washington as a strong and growing cultural resistence to
that dubious Supreme Court decision.
Save Baby Isaiah

He is disabled (see post below). His parents got a ’stay of
execution’ (so to speak) from having his ventilator removed in a
medical system forced to ration. Anyone not in that system may find
this exceptional. It is not, sad to say.
‘You allow them to die’
Sheila Liaugminas | 23 January 2010
This us such a jarring thought, the idea that only some lives are
worth saving, especially in the days when we’re still haging onto every
news story of an against-the-odds save in Haiti.
Need to correct the correction
Sheila Liaugminas | 23 January 2010
The family of Terri Schiavo have been at this for 20 years, battling to save her life and now others through her legacy foundation.
Her brother Bobby endlessly and exhaustively travels and talks and
works to spread awareness of special needs people and the rights of the
cognitively impaired.
Nary a word
Sheila Liaugminas | 23 January 2010
About 300,000 people rallied for ultimate civil rights for every human being, and the media’s got nothin’?
