I got “tagged” recently by Canker (whom I think I’ll start reading) but I must confess I don’t normally take part in such games. It’s not that I’m one of those dreadful people who thinks anything fun or entertaining is “populist” and therefore beneath them. Far from it. U used to be pretty good at […]
In my limited internet travels I meet some fairly entertaining souls. This particular post was on a thread on a space simulator forum, originally about Puerto Rico’s status. I expect after this exchange it’ll get locked…
This joker popped up after a short discussion about puerto rican customs and people. I deal with people like this […]
I found this quote recently, and I think it puts a lot of things in perspective.
“The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dishwatery utterances of the man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States.”

I’ve been thinking about this one a little. Clinton, love him or hate him, he knew how to act. He acted the statesman quite a bit… that was the problem. He was an actor who had never acted. He was a performer who had never performed. Reagan at least got it out of his system […]

The scathing rebuke comes just hours after the British government claimed that the German Luftwaffe […]
It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man, his brother, because
he is not of the same opinion, is a monster.

Late last night my brother’s wife gave birth to a boy. 10lb 9 ounces, which is apparently rather large. He already has a full head of hair. Got the dawson hands too…
Josué Juan Alexander Dawson. I think I spelled that right… welcome him to the world and all that. I’m a uncle, and the way […]
I’ve found strange things in the past, but none stranger - to my uneducated brain, at least - than the idea of Welsh single malt whisky. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a keen whisky drinker, and these days I’m even able to tell some of the subtler malts apart to boot. Which is […]
Today isn’t the anniversary of anything, at least that I know of, though I’m sure something happened today. It’s merely a day. Snap your fingers today. Then, when it rolls around next year, snap them again. That’s how fast time goes by if you’re not careful.
It’s struck me several times over the past two or […]
