100 years ago: Ottoman Muslims begin purge of Christians
Yet another grim commemoration. Stella Morabito, granddaughter of survivors, writes in The Federalist: What You Should Know about the Armenian Genocide. April 24 marks the centennial of the Armenian Genocide, a massive tragedy that brutally snuffed out the lives of up to 1.5 million Armenian Christians in the Ottoman Empire....
Remembering 9/11 and Benghazi
Twelve years ago today, America was attacked by Islamofascist fanatics. Thousands of innocent people lost their lives, tens of thousands were injured, hundreds of thousands were left orphaned or widowed or deprived of a dear friend. We particularly remember today a graduate of Tulsa's Memorial High School, Jayesh Shah, who...
Tulsa March for Life tonight marks 40 years after <em>Roe v. Wade</em>
In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, the U. S. Supreme Court decision that overturned abortion laws in nearly every state, and in memory of the 55 million unborn children killed since that time by legal abortion in America (a holocaust that rivals...

Lionizing totalitarians
I was at Tulsa Promenade with my family over the weekend and had taken the 12-year-old son to the food court for a late lunch, when I saw this ad for the Tulsa Zoo: It's a spoof of the famous Che Guevara poster, depicting a lion as Che, wearing a...
Tulsa Boy Singers tonight
Here's a reminder that tonight at 7:30 is the second and final performance of the Tulsa Boy Singers spring 2008 concert at Trinity Episcopal Church, 5th & Cincinnati, downtown Tulsa. I went Friday night and heard some wonderful music -- both classical and modern, sacred and secular. They opened...
Happy 5th Blogiversary to me!
BatesLine is five years old today. Although that doesn't come close to Dustbury's longevity, five years of fairly consistent and continuous blogging is pretty impressive in a world where blogs start and end at an alarming rate, if I do say so myself. Here is the Wayback Machine's first snapshot...
"They grew up in my neighborhood"
Karol remembers two of the Fort Dix Six: When Elvis and Dritan Duka, two of the three brothers arrested on terrorism charges in Fort Dix, were kids, they were neighborhood bullies. When they got a little older, they became drug dealers. How do I know? They grew up in my...
How to stop the spread of AIDS? Planned Parenthood says, "Kill the victims"
Dawn Eden has an entry about Planned Parenthood's objection to a Bush administration requirement that organizations must explicitly oppose prostitution in order to qualify for global AIDS funds. Not too surprising that PP would object to any policy aimed at encouraging sexual restraint. What I found really shocking was something...
