“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.”

Happy Christmas

From IRON MAIDEN, from Eddie, and from the boys! For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 Christianity is about...

Super Mario Marriage

Some enterprising chaps with mad programming “skillz” (and probably far too much time on their hands) decided to have a go at creating a video-game depiction of modern marriage. It’s a right hoot, it is: I don’t necessarily agree with...

They didn’t quite get the message

To my considerable amusement, it would appear that the social justice ninnies that run Wikipedia didn’t really see what I was driving at when I told Jimmy Wales to take a hike. This is the response that I found in my email inbox from their “Donor...

It’s not all horrible and lame

Our buddy LastRedoubt posted up some country music yesterday and mentioned in passing that I’m not exactly the genre’s biggest fan. He ain’t wrong about that- I am NOT a fan of listening to some berk wailing nasally to horribly tuned...

FailBot fails again

So much for the notion that the Electoral College could be manipulated into denying the rightful Ascension of the God-Emperor, Trump-Muad’dib. It is all over now, and Donald J. Trump will be the 45th President of the United States of America: Donald Trump...

Sod off, Jimbo

There was a time, back in the dim and distant mists of antiquity- say, around 2006 or so- when the converged social justice experiment formerly known as “Wikipedia” was in fact a useful and innovative repository of information that was growing by leaps and...

On your feet and doff the hats, boys…

It’s the unofficial anthem of the South playing: I love that song- always have, from the very first time I heard it. It is a truly great anthem to the South and all that it stands for. Unlike quite a lot of foreigners who live in the northeast, I do not have...
