Not enough study has been made, I think, of Anglo-Saxon paganism and its long-term effects on the different anglophonic cultures.
The peoples of Albion (think: the island England is on), whether Mercian, Briton, Northumbrian, Welsh, Pict, or otherwise, converted to Christianity after an unusually long period of evangelization. The last pagan stronghold, the Isle of Wight, […]

Plane tickets to New York are really cheap right now.

Seriously, I could fly to New York City and back for less than $190.

Yet there is this little nagging doubt about just up and going for the weekend.

Something in the back of my mind makes me want to stay in the Midwest.
I wonder if there is […]

It has been said on more than one occasion that Google has power over the internet. By indexing the whole internet (index grows everyday), Google is attempting to chart more information than has previously been conceived.
My site too has been indexed and crossindexed. My pictures, (almost) all of the photographs that have been on […]

I am trying to budget significant amounts of travel into my life. As most of you know, I went to Italy for three weeks in January, and to Spain and Morocco last month.
I had considered going to Caracas, Venezuela, next month. I no longer intend to do that. I am still planning a […]

For those of us who read around the Hillsdale blogging ring, a new list was updated. As I did with the original list by ~gauche, I stole his links, updated my own, and tried to make the design more simple, more Google-friendly, and more permanent. I have the better pagerank for the HBC, […]

A new book claims that Ireland is really Atlantis. I can’t verify that myself, but the news report is so very typical:
Greek philosopher Plato claimed Atlantis was an island in the Atlantic Ocean 11,500 years ago but it sank after being hit by a giant flood-wave. The myth also sparked a TV series, The […]

From people with no sense of moral sanity comes this cartoon flash movie about “Choice Chick” and her fight to maintian control over her own body.
The cartoon character fights the evil Geo. W. Bush and his minions alongside John Kerry and John Edwards for legal victories. Planned Parenthood stylized the process to […]

Orsen Scott Card has an interesting (though long) article about the President who is hated during war.

Is it better to have talent, but no ambition, or to have ambition, but no talent?
Oh! The latter is so much better.

I had intended to sit and write some (insightful?) thoughts about human interaction, and how Platonism affects modern sociological thought.
Instead I wore myself out deleting all the Viagra and Soma spam in my comments throughout the archives. I am no longer inspired. Moveable Type has comment deletion and IP banning, but when one […]
