By Mark Lagerkvist | New Jersey Watchdog A blowout win by Gov. Chris Christie in next week’s election might be great for his presidential ambitions in 2016. AP file photo ANY COATTAILS: Does New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have enough swing to pull in Republican majorities in the state House and Senate?

THE MEANING OF SAINTHOOD: TO BE FULLY ALIVE IN JESUS CHRIST PHILADELPHIA PA--Some years ago a friend told me that she secretly thought of the saints as boring. They smile at us sweetly from holy cards. Their lives can seem implausible compared to people more famous for their vices. And who would really want to be a saint, anyway? As Billy Joel once said, “I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.” But when we come to understand holiness rightly, we see that it's anything but boring. Sanctity isn’t a matter... Read more →

But short-term medical plans, defined as policies with terms lasting less than 12 months, can sidestep all the law’s new... Read more →

October 28, 2013 Bill Donohue comments on last Friday's edition of "Real Time with Bill Maher," the HBO show: Bill Maher's latest show was a bigoted bash fest featuring Valerie Plame and Michael Moore, and, of course, himself.

More surprisingly, Britain's star atheist, Richard Dawkins, behaved himself. Maher began by observing that Pope Francis had fired the German "bishop of bling" because he was "getting the altar boys drunk on Cristal." That no bishop... Read more →
