Bet more than one person called her Circe.

Poor girl. Born in a fishbowl.

A channel 25 FOX Boston reporter tweeed last night that Police sources say that methadone was found near the body

Kennedys would be trafficking in their granddaughters and great-granddaughters...

[miserare]

I am so sorry. May your beloved son rest in peace.

>>Pride goeth before a fall. But did he have to kill his wife and sister-in-law too?!<<

A flight instructor at the departure field who knew of Kennedy’s inexperience, and also of the late hour and approaching weather, offered to be his co-pilot. Kennedy, being the arrogant knothead that are most males of the clan, turned down the assistance. Three dead because of his foolishness and bad judgment.

Now, there’s a phrase I’ve not seen before.
Sounds a tad oxymoronic, doesn’t it?

“It’s pronounced “Sorcha.” It’s Gaelic.”
Yea, it is Gae!

[VideoDoctor]

They said yesterday that someone there died of an overdose.

Obviously the TRUTH of what occurred.

That's why the article said The family statement did not include a cause of death.

[Albion Wilde]

“Saoirse” How do you even say that name?

Pronounced SHEER-sheh

I agree, for American parents to give unusual names that are not phonetically English is a curse on the recipient.

[Reily]

Is that an Irish(Gaelic) name?

[Albion Wilde]

So sorry for your bereavements, HotHunt.

[Albion Wilde]

Wonder why she didn’t name the family member who raped her?

My first thought as well. Most women can get over an unwanted date rape, as long as it's not violent. But to haved attempt suicide, there must have been a deep moral violation. Family member, priest, teacher or professor.

[Albion Wilde]

Yes, it is Gaelic. I was a bit incorrect above, going from memory. Online sources with audio tracks say it is pronounced SEER-shuh.

[HotHunt]

Thank you.

[HotHunt]

Thank you.

[Carriage Hill]

Not as bad as Fentanyl, but still deadly.

Jesuits USED to be the strictest sect in all of Catholicism......…

I was lucky to have known several Jesuit priests during my time at Gonzaga. All were incredible men of deep faith and great intellect.

I only had a few classes with Jesuit professors, as I changed majors to Public Accounting my sophomore year, a major that required 30 upper division hours.

Fr. Tony Lehmann, SJ was a campus ministry leader, who seemingly knew everybody by name on campus, no mean feat considering there were 2000 undergrads back then. He'd later take on the role of the chaplain for the basketball team.

He was known by his sign off phrase of "to be continued", and honored with a memorial in the "Kennel":

Father Tony always had a smile on his face, and always had an encouraging word for those who came to him for counsel.

Another was Fr. Robert Spitzer (GU '74), who was President of GU from 1999-2009, give or take. A brilliant man and dynamic speaker, Fr. Bob represents the best the Jesuit order has to offer.

He's been fighting an uphill battle against the liberals in his order, and I'm proud to say that I'm a fellow Zag. O/T, up until a couple of weeks ago, I did not know he was also a Public Accounting grad.

Shortly before he spoke as a keynote speaker in Dallas a few weeks ago, I was able to spend a few minutes with him. When I told him I majored in accounting, the topic turned to the professor we had for over 30 hours of accounting.

The memories washed over me...that professor, Dr. Dan Brajcich, taught for at least 30 years, and never used numbers, strictly focusing on accounting theory.

Fr. Spitzer knows what he speaks of, his book from 15 years ago, Healing the Culture, which I should pick up and reread. His section on the hierarchy of love, leading to agape love is inspiring, and enabled me to reach the sixth graders I taught at my parish.

Those men are the real Jesuits IMO.
