“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.”

Restoring sight to the blind

I recently had the opportunity to re-establish contact with an old acquaintance of mine from college. She and I have done very little to keep in touch other than my sending her an annual happy-birthday email; beyond that, we’ve not seen each other in nearly ten...

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...

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...

“A long, twilight struggle”

As the Cold War reached what mathematicians refer to in functional analysis as a “local maximum” during the late 1950s and early 1960s, American appeared to be on the back foot, retreating in the face of relentless Soviet pressure. The Warsaw Pact’s...

Why is this news?

American “football”- or, as the rest of the civilised world calls it, gridiron- is not something with which I ordinarily concern myself. I have no clue how it’s played, I just know that it’s a sort of sanitised version of rugby, played with...

Bonobo-Nose on multiculturalism

The lady with the giant nose and even more impressive lack of perspective is back- maybe that honking great wine-sniffer gets in the way of her field of vision?- and is wondering why we can’t all hold hands and sing kumbaya around the fire: In these...

Buyer’s remorse

From a while back, I know- but it’s becoming clear that the Magic Black President who was supposed to heal everything that is wrong with this country didn’t really work out that way: The trailers were great, but the movie was horrible.  Six years in,...
