Ross Douthat has a follow-up to his post on pornography being on a moral continuum with adultery:

Other than that, the links that would be the most fun to discuss are the one about the court which overturned the dad’s decision to ground his daughter and, of course, the always engrossing and always important topic of top hats.
Regarding the NPR story. The entire gay marriage thing does not really work until religious institution are brought into the fold, and agree to marry same sex couples. Anything else is to promote discrimination under the guise of religious freedom. Or maybe religions have the right to discriminate . . .
Wow, overturning a father’s decision to ground his daughter is a really good way to make your judicial authority seem totally petty and ridiculous. Not that making their office ridiculous is all that uncommon a thing for judges to do lately . . .
Is it normal for 6th graders to have overnight co-ed trips away from their parents? I’m trying to think if it’s merely a school-equivalent to girls-camp or scout-camp, and my gut-feel says no. And even more “no way!” for a 12 year-old girl who has been putting her profile on dating web sites.
It sounds to me like the girl wants to be one of the girls at Gloucester High.
I know I wanted to comment on something earlier in the week, but I forgot what it was.
