Mordred's Lullaby - Heather Dale

You Can't Teach A....

Just a blast from the past.

It's Caturday!

What Repentance Looks Like

Some Hillary supporters have seen the light. And the country is better for it.

My problem with an awful lot of those who backed Obama is the need for them to deify the man. It's one thing to say "I support X because he is for more of the policies I support than the other guy is". It's another to speak of X as embodying hope and change.

Obama did bring change on some levels. But the stuff I hoped he would change (the selling of American government, throwing money at problems, deficit spending, general wastefulness and extravangance) he did not. And what he did change is what I hoped he would not (appeasement as the basis for foreign policy, resurrection of health care as a federal issue, higher taxes, stupid (ie corrupt) stimulus, Keynesian economics).

For the sake of our country, I hope he learns fast. But his instinctual coddling of dictators (Castro, Kim, Chavez) tells me that such behaviour is not easily unlearned.

Abandoned Places

This is eerie, neat and a bit disturbing. Well worth taking a gander at. The site is safe for work.

The Country's In The Very Best of Hands

For Clifford, who lacks faith. Why when those Chicago brainy types get through fixing things, we won't even reognize our own country.

A More Humane Mikado

I think this would win the approval of Sir Arthur and Mr. Gilbert.

The Fox and the Grapes

A FAMISHED FOX saw some clusters of ripe black grapes hanging
from a trellised vine. She resorted to all her tricks to get at
them, but wearied herself in vain, for she could not reach them.
At last she turned away, hiding her disappointment and saying:
"The Grapes are sour, and not ripe as I thought."

Dont Copy Europes Mistakes

Some good points.
