A St. Francis Medal for ... Rick Santorum?
With all the other Catholics to choose from on this planet, and previous recipients such as Dorothy Day and Teresa of Calcutta, I do not think that awarding this behavior with a medal named after St. Francis, of all saints, is appropriate. -

Selections from “Usury”
“The island upon which New York stands was bought from the Indians for the value of twenty-four dollars by Peter Minuits in 1626. Yet, if the purchaser had put his twenty-four dollars at interest, where he could have added it to the principal at the rate of seven per cent., the accumulation would now exceed the total value of the entire city and county of New York.” -

Packrat: An adventurer with a discerning eye
They call you Packrat, but who’re they sending to wake the Princess? Not only has the faraway Prince failed to deliver, but it’s just come out that a hefty royal loan has had twenty years to accrue in default, and the repo giants are on their way. -

Gutenberg Pick: The Glugs of Gosh
The similarity to Seuss floored me. I dimly realized there might be a whole heritage of epic comic verse lurking out there. Yet even this epiphany was eclipsed as the Glugs suddenly turned horribly familiar. -

Odd Food Metaphors
What makes one topic fruity, and another meaty? It's good to be beefy, but why not nutty?
An orange. A chicken leg. A walnut.

Announcing Penny Justice
I hope that Penny Justice can be a place where Catholics find out about Distributists, Distributists find out about Permaculturists, Permaculturists find out about Catholics, everyone finds out about Humanure - you get the idea. -

Chesterton’s Magic Online
Like any library, you wind up savoring the titles and random paragraphs rather than actually knuckling down to read anything, but if you’re in a knuckling mood, may I suggest Magic, A Fantastic Comedy, by G. K. Chesterton? Just posted in the last day. And it’s good stuff. -

So is this really C. S. Lewis? Is there really just one recording of his voice?
He certainly sounds like an Oxford don. I wish there was a way to way verify this, but anyhow, it's interesting.
