Clinton Should Have Been an Actor

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 [...]

Ignorance is strength.

Hatred is love. Peace is war. How else can we explain the attitude of certain political types toward both christianity and Islam, when the words of a known warmonger, hater, murderer are called peaceful, yet those of Jesus, who said “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”, who preached love for our [...]

If ‘now’ were ‘then’…

BBC News 11th of July 1940
BERLIN. The office of the Fuhrer today released a scathing condemnation of the British Air Brigade, also known as the ‘Royal Air Force’, for their part in ongoing offenses against French coastal towns and ports. The scathing rebuke comes just hours after the British government claimed that the German Luftwaffe [...]

Quote of the moment.

It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man, his brother, because
he is not of the same opinion, is a monster.

Nuncle!

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 [...]

Occasional Whisky Review

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 [...]

Time Passes

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 [...]

Self-obsessed Introspection Moment

Strange women decide that all men are rapists here (HT Silent Running), and conclude that all men are therefore scum because of that. The comments are always fun on sites like this. For example:

The hatred isn’t personal; it is a hatred of her persona. Beautiful women like Spears are hated by men — the same [...]

Thoughts on the election

You know of which I speak.
I have but one. Yesterday I was breifly optimistic, as the democrat majority was much lower than previous majorities at this part of the election cycle. However, I have had more time to think about it. The next two years signal a dark time, not just for the US, but [...]

An interesting conversation with my wife

My wife is swedish. This may explain a few things about me… it’s also slightly relevant to the conversation I had with her last night.
Well. “Conversation” doesn’t really cover it, to be honest. It was more of an argument. About sex. Eventually it all comes down to sex, and in this case it was her [...]
