“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
The weekend certainly zipped by rather too quickly, though I cannot say I did anything particularly interesting during it. That said, the prospect of greeting Monday morning was a rather shoulder-sagging one, especially given the long drive I have to make these days....
The Epstein Coalition’s war against Iran has revealed, in no uncertain terms, the total bankruptcy and inadequacy of the Coalition’s economic capabilities. We have seen the New Evil Empire throw just about everything it has available at Iran, and it has failed utterly...
People living in PommieBastardLande have been subjected to a very weird spectacle over the past few weeks, wherein one Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform Party – which is really just WEForm, to be honest, but that is another matter – got into serious trouble for...
A couple of days ago, no less an eminence than Ritchie Blackmore, a founding member of the legendary rock band DEEP PURPLE, joined his surviving former bandmates on-stage in Wantagh, NY, for a rendition of their most famous song. This is the three-chord riff that...

I am in an especially antisocial mood this weekend, having spent quite a bit of it on the road, and the rest of it bored out of my gourd at an, admittedly very pretty and scenic, office deep in the countryside. This has been one of those weeks where you kind of have...
