Dorothy Parker would have easily routed these schoolboys from the midst of the Algonquin Round Table; but that’s assuming she would have not drunk them under the table, first.

Mr. Meehan…some folks are simply better writers than they are speakers…and vice-versa.
Peace be with you.

Noah, I’d ask to you: Manufactured controversy for what purpose? The Church has zero to be gained by bringing this up, correct?
(For what it’s worth, the entire plan should be voided as unconstitutional anyway. This debate tends to accept the notion that it is acceptable as a premise, even though I would argue it is not.)

The TAC masthead menu is missing a link under “Blogs” for Noah’s new home.
Noah is correct – the issue is conscience, and carries water for ANY RC employer not just the institutional RC employer (those permitted to call themselves Catholic -hospital, -school, -foreign aid society etc.) such as a cable TV channel moreso those who self-insure (ie their business capital is at risk)
Its hard to watch two men discussing chugging OTC steroids as if they were candy just to stay infertile during coitus – would they be as flippant if they were the ones expected to be swallowing daily? Vending machines for prophylactics are an ugly feature of too many of our public bathrooms, but vending machines for Plan B Ella? Really?

cfountain72, I take your point, but the ability to from coherent sentences is the necessary precursor to expression in print. There two show an alarming lack of acuity or grace in expression. Verbal expression is a window on our thought processes. The Romans understood this. From what I see on the clip, neither of these junior pundits has a first class mind.

Speaking of incoherence, that should be “Form” not “From” in the first sentence. And “These” rather than “There” in the second sentence. Seems I hit send before editing.
I couldn’t get through the whole clip. These are two very unimpressive people with mundane thoughts and very poor verbal presence.
How do you get to be a pundit again?
