Whether we realize it or not (because the recession deepens by the day) the days of plenty have passed away for a time. And we sit in this limbo of war-that-is-not-war, dangerously extended and building up murderous hostility each day. Shouting names at one another, or throwing a hissy-fit because our priorities are not shared by all is a luxury we can ill afford….

Still, the fundamental error of equating scientific controversy over certain methodologies is NOT the same as utterly disproving global warming, neener, neener poo-pooh. And we have to look at the relative honesty of this seeming Heartland Institute manufactured “news.” James Delingpole* of the Telegraph (UK) who was instrumental in and coined the phrase “Climategate” goes for the bifecta with “Polarbeargate.” Continue reading →

Think about it: I write a book about how my people/family were/was persecuted. It’s true. It’s heartbreaking. Everybody pats me on the back. Then I say that seeing anybody dressed in Muslim garb makes me nervous.

We slipped into the Civil War by not taking the mounting crises seriously, by not really comprehending the smallest sliver of the true devastation, horror and lingering grief that were to come. We didn’t so much walk into the Civil War as we sleepwalked into it. Continue reading →

Not many sentient species ever accomplish this feat. Continue reading →

The handwriting has been on the wall for a long time now, but when an elephant that large has occupied the room for so long, no one sees it anymore. Then, one day, suddenly: they adjust their glasses-chains, tap their pipes, tug on their goatees and exclaim, interrogatively, “Where did this dead elephant come from?” Continue reading →

Atlas Shrugs; Palin mugs. Thus far, the arc is the same. Continue reading →
