Can She Really Be That Dumb?
Posted August 26th, 2008 by Mark RomerThis past weekend, Nancy Pelosi said some mind-bogglingly stupid things about the Catholic Church's stance on abortion. In particular, she stated that the Church started condemning abortion around 1950, and that it's still a matter of controversy within the Church.
I would attempt to respond, but Archbishop Chaput of Denver put it much better than I ever could:

Scrappleface - Obama: Iran Needs to Know We Mean Talk
Posted July 25th, 2008 by Mark RomerScrappleface - Obama: Iran Needs to Know We Mean Talk
My favorite line:
the Obama administration, our words will mean that we are saying things
by combining those words into sentences to express ideas about how we
feel, using dramatic phrases and dynamic cadences. Iran must never
question our resolve to deliver…speeches.”

The Candidates' Biggest Assets
Posted July 16th, 2008 by Mark RomerIt seems to me that McCain's biggest asset in this campaign is that he's running against Obama.
Obama's biggest asset is that he's running against McCain.
Either of these guys would be pounded flat if they were running against a strong candidate. Obama wouldn't have stood a chance against Fred Thompson in a debate. McCain would have been outmaneuvered at every turn by Hilary Clinton.
Curious Question During Jury Selection
Posted July 15th, 2008 by Mark RomerEven though wasn't selected for the jury of the court I was called to yesterday, I was expected to pay attention to the proceedings, just in case I was called to replace a dismissed juror. So I listened as the prosecuting and defense attorneys each got up and asked questions of the prospective jurors.
I Ain't the Jury
Posted July 15th, 2008 by Mark RomerA chance to do my civic duty just went down the drain.
A couple of months ago, I was summoned for jury duty. I had to go downtown with 3,000 other people and sign up for one week of actual duty. This week was my week, so yesterday I went downtown with 200 other people to sit in the jury pool. We sat and listened to Clyde Carson, the Jury Commissioner, give a one-and-a-half hour talk about the things we needed to know. Mr. Carson is a terrific speaker, by the way, and seems to be very personable.
Good Night, Sweet Puppy
Posted May 6th, 2008 by Mark RomerI've been hesitating to write this entry, mainly because I didn't write one like it for my father-in-law a couple of months ago. Oh, well, I never said I was consistent.
Another Boy, Another Injury
Posted April 27th, 2008 by Mark RomerThere seems to be something about Romer boys as they approach their second birthday: there must be a trip to the emergency room. For Paul, that trip happened after I dropped the attic ladder on his forehead. I guess we were being a little too careful with Michael, so he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Does a Bear Dance in the Woods?
Posted April 7th, 2008 by Mark RomerResearchers think that what they see here is a couple of bears rubbing their scents onto trees--a way of marking territory. However, it sure looks like they're having fun.

Romers at Easter
Posted March 24th, 2008 by Mark RomerHere's a smattering of images from this past Easter Sunday. Our children had a total of three Easter egg hunts. The church was packed for Mass. We got together with my side of the family at Mom and Dad's house for dinner, an egg hunt, watching the Tigers almost forget to win their game, etc.
These pictures and more are in the Romer Easter 2008 Gallery
