There are other times when I’m just embarrassed. Embarrassed for the speaker, the nice, clearly well-intentioned guy who gets bamboozled and says something stupid. Like today. Fire Chief Richard Lopez; “I didn’t realize that we needed one more steps [sic] in this program.”
Two Short Takes: Maps and Meow Culpa New Mexico
The job of top SSHBBN researcher takes me all over the map, and it is easy to get lost. You wouldn’t believe the things we don’t report on her here and just stash away in a file folder. Sometimes I want to report something, but it’s really too small to spend my time enlarging on but still needs to be noticed beyond my green news-stalker eyes.

Safe Haven Baby Boxes Posts Paranoid, Snowflaky, and Confusing Response to Media Pushback
The reaction to the Flyer News editorial is ridiculous. On the face of it the response is overblown, but there is something underneath it all. A melting snowflake? A small crack in the foundation?. Is God angry? Just think how they will respond when the big pushback comes.
New: Media Push Back on the Safe Haven Baby Box “Horror Show.” Some Writers Aren’t Hoodwinked!
Seldom do we hear a discouraging word about Safe Haven Baby Boxes from outside of AdoptionLand. . Imagine my delight this afternoon when two –TWO–articles showed up in my Google Alerts shouting not only a discouraging word or two but entire paragraphs of discouragement at the God’s own Safe Haven Baby Box folks.
Firefighters Search for Missing Babies?
Firefighters are not crime investigators or finders of lost babies.
Safe Haven Baby Boxes’ Latest Fundraiser: Kirk Cameron and Weird Baby Box Theology. A Brief Discourse
I picture the God of Kirk Cameron as a lonely old wifeless patriarch in the sky, conniving up adoption to give meaning to His life. I mean, isn’t that what adoption is supposed to do?
Students for Life Says “Post- Roe America Means ‘Children are Valued from Conception.'” Angelika Says: “That’s Kitty Litter”and Why!
