I never heard of Barstool Sports until the owner, Dave Portnoy, started giving interviews months ago. I guess it's a sports & pop trends website?

UPDATE: Bill Donohue of the Catholic League disagrees with me that Larry King was a softball interviewer.

Yes, here it is with Fr. Nelson the celebrant. Brigid and I loved it – but with the pandemic it will not be repeated this year. But next year … ! And the Holy Name of Mary Chapel was packed. The Mass started at 7PM and went til 8:10. Before Mass, a procession getting … Read more

Brigid told me she had a great day yesterday – but I didn’t get a picture. Here she is a couple of months ago, carving a special pumpkin for her job at The Blaze. December 12th is also a big feast day – Our Lady of Guadalupe with the famous image on the tilma of … Read more
