Evidently you CAN fool some people all the time
Three Webrings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Red States where the Shadows lie.
One Webring to rule them all,
One Webring to find them,
One Webring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them
In the Red States where the Shadows lie.(with apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien)
his vorpal sword- Me Cassandra: Don’t CallDemocratic presidents have been in office for twelve years out of the past forty. Of those twelve years, SIX were squandered by Democratic congresses refusing, mulishly, to cooperate in the elephantine task of national governance.
- Book ‘Em, DannoWriting pay is the quickest method I know of to experience the life style of the Third World. It's a quick and immediate commission in a sort of Peace Corps, only you are not showing the natives now to live on Ramen noodles and lukewarm water--you are teaching yourself the rudiments of living in extreme poverty. This is why the field of publishing is do […]
- Gog and Egg NogYou see, they don't want to hear the truth; they want the "truth" they want to hear. Now that is a vast gulf. It is the gulf between reality and Faux Nooz™.
- Again, Olla PodridaBut that's not Obama's fault. That's the fault of a Pentagon that has consistently chosen ideological cartoons over on-the-ground realities in defining a "war against terror" with no real focus, plan or clarity.
- Modern RoboticsWhen behaviors can be predicted in advance, those behaviors are not sentient, they are not the result of free will and choice: they are every bit as spontaneous as the bell response of Pavlov's dog.
- Sturgeon is Neither Alive nor WellBut this was the essay that earned me the undying enmity of the nasty lady at North Atlantic Books in Berkeley, California, who seems to be as effetely and impudently snobbish as she are geographically challenged. At any event, said principal drew herself into a huff, and I was dismissed from further intercourse with the oxymoronically named "North Atla […]
- Here’s Your Monday News, EarlyIs this the worst scientific scandal of our generation? Are you kidding me? After eight years of "creationist" science emanating from George the Dumber's maladministration? You gotta be kidding me, right? Please, tell me you're kidding me.
- Warmergate? No: It’s WhiteWarmerJust like the ACORN "scandal" there is more smoke than fire, but the issue isn't whether there is anything BEHIND the allegations. It is promoting it to a MAJOR NEWS STORY -- all the while claiming that it's that awful "biased liberal media" who is actively SITTING ON YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW, Mister and Missus MainStreet U.S.A!
- Happy Black FridayAs we all know, modern advertising, modern commerce, modern politics and modern PR all rely almost exclusively on the reptile brain, with higher thought processes all but insignificant or to be ignored....

Jabberwocky
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!One, two! One, two!
And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back."And, hast though slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
