Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Kudlow: "Writing in the New York Sun last week, George Weigel tells us that "Embracing suffering is a concept alien to us. And yet suffering embraced in obedience to God's will is at the center of Christianity....The Christ of the Gospels reaches out and embraces suffering as his destiny, his vocation-- and is vindicated in that self-sacrifice on Easter."  Click here: Kudlow's Money Politic$: Terri Schiavo's Easter
