“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.”

That’s what Aliyah is for

The Jews of America would be well advised to take heed of Israel’s open-arms policy toward them: From what I have seen- and this is admittedly not a very big sample set- American Jews generally fall into two categories. The majority of them are liberals- and by...

The red horseman rides

My centre is yielding. My right is retreating. Situation excellent. I will attack. — Attributed to Marshall Ferdinand Foch, commander of the French Ninth Army, First Battle of the Marne, 1914 “The Third Hellrider Came, Teaching Brothers to Kill Brother...

The hidden cost of Europe’s “free stuff”

They’re loony, jingoistic, and gun-obsessed- God love the crazy bastards! Roman Holiday The venerable Captain went on a holiday to Europe late last year and- to his complete and total lack of surprise- discovered that his European cousins pay a rather steep...

A non-defence of Indian girls

The last few days have been… interesting, to say the least. The house here is still in a state of disarray- though it’s mostly livable, now. Internet connectivity is, frankly, abysmal- it’s like being back in the days of dial-up. (It depresses me...

North Korean Top Gun

Northern star

Well, I’m back. Just not in the usual place, that’s all. I’m sure that the two men and the dog that follow this pokey little blog of mine were wondering where I’d been for the past week-and-a-bit. The answer is that I spent the entirety of the...

Argy-bashing

Apparently the Argentinians, not satisfied with pushing glorified vinegar on us in the form of their Malbec wines*, are extremely put out at the “fact” that the hosts of THE GREATEST TV SHOW ON EARTH decided to drive through their country in cars that...
