“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.”

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...

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,...

Trust

Lord but it is good to be back home. (Going back to work and having my extroverted colleague yapping in my ear all the time, not so much…) Yet I cannot help but feel a wrenching sense of loss at having left Eretz Israel. I have said it before, and now I...

“Daft cow”, indeed

Yet another clueless staff writer at the Telly is having immense trouble understanding why women should not act like men, and vice versa: My wise, old dad always said: “You can say anything as long as you say it with a smile on your face.” Luckily, I was 10 and knew...

Molotov Mitchell has some rather trenchant observations to make about the State of New Jersey, on his way to making some quite poignant observations about lone soldiers fighting for Israel: Unfortunately, I can’t really avoid NJ. I live in the state. I do,...

Leave the barbarians alone

Pat Buchanan proves, yet again, exactly why the rest of the country should be listening to him very closely when it comes to foreign policy: But before allowing these “Cassandras” to stampede us back into the civil-sectarian Middle East wars that resulted from our...

A cautionary tale

I’ve been seeing various pundits talking about front-runners for the job of President of the United States once Obarmy’s term finally ends in 2016 (unless you people actually do what is right for a change and IMPEACH THE BASTARD!!!). Evidently, the...

The Holy Land

God didn’t pick us because we were weak or would run from danger. We’ve taken murder and sorrow and humiliation for six thousand years and we have kept faith. We have outlived everyone who has tried to destroy us. Can’t you see it, Kitty? … this...

Hell for values of hell

For some strange reason no one seems to bother asking exactly why the Islamist fundamentalist loony fruitcakes (yes, I know, quadruple redundancy, I’m on vacation dammit!) of ISIS are insisting on going about murdering and otherwise doing very unpleasant...
