In Search of Common Ground (052609) by J. F. Kelly, Jr
Catholics, including many American bishops, were in a collective tizzy over Notre Dame’s invitation to President Barack Obama to deliver the commencement address to this year’s graduating class. Because of his pro-choice views, they felt he should not be honored with a platform at what some consider America’s most prestigious Catholic university. The president was also awarded an honorary doctorate.
Personally, I believe it perfectly… Continue

Navy SEALs And The Sign On The Door
"Three Navy SEAL snipers take out Somali pirates," the headlines trumpeted a few weeks back. "Head shots, every one!"
In Coronado, where they put incoming would-be SEALs through BUDs, there were groans. BUDs stands for Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL — the six-month course you have to get through, just to start the three-year process of becoming a SEAL.
"Oh, great," they… Continue

Coronado vet recalls famous WWII escape
The Coronado resident spent 22 years in the military as a pilot. Like a lot of fighter jocks, his career was punctuated by the sudden clipping of wings – either his or the other guy's.
During World War II, he shot down four enemy planes and earned the Distinguished Flying Cross before anti-aircraft fire knocked him out of the sky over Sicily.
He was captured and sent to Stalag Luft III, a German prisoner of… Continue

What are some great cheap dates?
Ferry fun: Nothing says amour more than a boat ride. Just ask Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. The good news is that catching the Coronado Ferry is a lot less inexpensive ($6.50 per person for a round trip) and dangerous than hitching a ride on the Titanic. Many of the restaurants on the Coronado side have daily happy hours, including Candelas, which has half-price… Continue
