Fencing Bear at Prayer

I was very happy to join Tom Rowsell on Survive the Jive  for a conversation about my experience in academia as a Christian and the problem of getting inside the medieval mind. Which is harder: thinking like an academic or thinking like a medieval Christian?! Join us to find out! For a complete list of my video, radio, and podcast appearances, see Bear On Air .

I was in a better place to write this post yesterday, but I had to put my make-up on and go to campus. Let’s see if I can recapture the ::blech::  feelings .  Think Elizabeth Kübler-Ross’s stages of grief, only for carb withdrawal. Can you say “12 days of Christmas chocolate too many”? Step 1: The 3-day Headache. Step 2: The total crashing sense of abandonment. Step 3: The loss of inhibition about saying the bitchy things one always wishes one could say if only one weren’t so nice.  Step 4: Apparently now, when the headache is a dim memory, the gloominess doesn’t seem to be accessible, and the bitchiness has subsided into a general grumpiness about how meaningless  it all is.  It’s a good thing I took notes.  I have a theory about carbs, specifically starches and sugars. Carbs are basically a drug, like alcohol. As with alcohol, not everybody is susceptible to addiction, but—to judge from the prevalence of hamplanets—many are. My g...

Milo was a bit later than usual going live last Friday night, and it wasn’t (just) because he wanted to wind up his boss. He was late because somebody had punched him on the way to the studio, and he needed a bit more make-up than usual to hide the (minimal) damage. Seriously, if he hadn’t said anything, nobody would have known. Wait. Hold that thought. Somebody punched  Milo in the face—and, to the best of my knowledge, got away with it. Punched him in the face. And got away with it.  As Milo described it, he made the mistake of going south of 34th for dinner, where a weedy soy boy trying to show off to his girlfriend started shit and ended up taking a swing at him as Milo was leaving the restaurant. That the damage was not greater, Milo asserted, was because “liberals punch like 5-year-olds.” And yet, he was punched. In the face. In PUBLIC. By a total stranger. To be fair, Milo stood his ground at first, then attempted to walk away without punching back while ...

Beautifully written, beautiful exterior and a dedicated and engaging account of the rise and importance of the fiery cultural hero that is MILO. Highly recommended for all Milo fans and celebrators of Western culture. An essential story of why it's important that we fight for the values that make the West the best. —Pádraig, “Dedicated chronicle of the rise of a fascinating and essential cultural hero,” Amazon 5-star review, December 3, 2019  Beautifully written story of an unlikely friendship between University of Chicago professor Rachel Fulton Brown and conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos. Both were unfairly targeted by social justice warriors and almost lost their careers for speaking their truths. They used their friendship and strong belief in their Catholic faith to overcome it all. The best way to fight back is with laughter and joy. Very insightful. —Cee C, “Beautifully written,” Amazon 5-star review, December 9, 2019 This book provides a fascinating g...
