“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Monday morning Bugatti busting

Lord help us, it’s Monday again. The weekends go by just WAY too damned fast, and the one that whizzed by was certainly no exception to the rule. Nonetheless, it IS that dreaded day of the week, and we MUST get on with things – so let’s carry on with...
Friday T&A: Snakebit Edition

Friday T&A: Snakebit Edition

I probably really should just consider renaming this segment into “Weekend T&A”, given how often I miss the Friday deadline. This time, I kind of sort of have a decent excuse – well, depending on your point of view. You see, as I have noted...

The picture you see above is a screenshot of the headlines that blared across Israeli media in 1992, following the assassination of one Abbas al-Musawi, then the Secretary-General of the Shi’ite Lebanese militia, Hezbollah. The Israelis killed al-Musawi, along with...

Friday T&A: Deficit Spending Edition

Friday T&A: Deficit Spending Edition

As y’all may have surmised by now, we are rather far behind in terms of this most beloved segment of the site. This is due to a number of factors – work, travel, sickness (yes, still), and of course, sheer laziness on the part of Ye Olde Didacte, who is in...
