“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.”

“A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground. Then it is finished, no matter how brave its warriors, or how strong its weapons.” — Ancient Cheyenne proverb There was a book that I read a while back- I think it might...

Because they’re fat, dammit

(Credit goes to El Capitan for finding this little gem.) Apparently our intrepid Benevolent Government Overlords are now spending damn-near half a million dollars to figure out why fat girls can’t get dates: The federal government is spending nearly a half a...

“Unfair” should be a banned word

Didact Sr. sent me an interesting article showing that the Swiss still, for the moment at least, have their heads screwed on right when it comes to the never-ending and frankly pointless debate about who should pay for health care: Swiss voters on Sunday rejected...

A case study in incompetence

As if the flu wasn’t bad enough, now we have an actual haemorrhagic fever imported straight from Africa to deal with: Schoolchildren in Texas may be at risk from Ebola today after five children who attend four different Dallas schools came in close contact with...

Clinton clam-bake

To be as fair as possible, it would be weird NOT to want to get an eyeful of that… In which Jim Goad asks some rather pointed questions about the Lizard Queen’s, um, personal preferences: Jenny McCarthy, easily the finest female specimen ever to appear on...

An incomplete hypothesis

Yes, this is fairly normal in Israel. Personally I think the Tavor TAR-21 might be better suited for buying, uh, feminine hygiene products, though- don’t you agree? The esteemed Col. Tom Kratman published a trilogy of articles recently exploring some interesting...

Quinntervention

Blatantly stolen Copied from Vox Day. Who got it from somewhere else anyway. When the whole GamerGate thing broke open three weeks ago, my first reaction was probably best described as a rude scatological noise, followed by a, “hey, look, DESTINY IS FINALLY...

Yes, Benghazi matters

Prior to watching the video that I’m embedding below, I basically dismissed the Benghazi scandal as yet another example of Obarmy’s utter incompetence, and nothing much more than that. Rarely have I ever been so utterly wrong. It turns out that Benghazi is...
