Jonah Goldberg and the Meaninglessness of “Social Justice”
Which is to say, it’s true meaning: (h/t Chicks on the Right)
The Oxfordians Done Found Me!
Some time ago, I put up a quick post called “Oxfordians: The Birthers of the Elizabethan Renaissance“, taking on the grammar-school argument of Oxfordians. This has at last earned a reply, from one earlofoxford17. I post it below, intermingled with my responses: If “grammar school” in Elizabethan England was such a “cradle of serious learning,” and… Read More The Oxfordians Done Found Me!
Zombeavers: The End of “So Bad It’s Good?”
I hope so. At least, the end of SBIG as an intent. B-Movies are crap (to be perfectly blunt, so are most A-Movies. Now get off my lawn). But if they’re done right, B-Movies can transcend the idiocy of their storylines and become at least entertaining. And then there’s Zombeavers: Zombeavers tried to embrace its stupid premise… Read More Zombeavers: The End of “So Bad It’s Good?”
Why We Ever Stopped Using the Gibbet, I’ll Never Understand
I have always found the concept of lethal injection creepy and offensive. There’s something Orwellian about using the instruments of medicine to bring about death. Yes, that’s how we put down animals, but a human is more than just an animal. A human, even one guilty of a capital crime, deserves to suffer death honestly,… Read More Why We Ever Stopped Using the Gibbet, I’ll Never Understand
I Don’t Care! I Blog When I Want!
Had a rather busy week and haven’t felt like it. Took a trip to NYC to catch NPH in HATAI, which has garnered a bunch of TONY noms. Been farting around with a few writing ideas and just haven’t summoned the will to implement them. It’s much easier to update your Smashwords profile and join… Read More I Don’t Care!

Oh, It’s Much Too Late For The Stick

1985 is a Thing
Way before I’d ever read 1984, I’d heard of it. I don’t know if I had heard of it during the year 1984, as I turned eight that autumn, but somewhere along the way I heard that particular year spoken of in that way that conveyed symbolic significance. When I did read it,that significance finally took… Read More 1985 is a Thing

Heh. The sads in the comment section makes it even better. I’m a bad person.
Game of Thrones Turns Us All Into Monsters
Reaction video to the lastest out-of-the-blue death in Westeros. Spoilers, obviously. Basically, if you find yourself at a wedding there, RUN. Who did it? The books explain it, but honestly, I’ve forgotten. In the final analysis, it doesn’t really matter. Nothing good will come of it. Well, some good, maybe, but really a whole lot… Read More Game of Thrones Turns Us All Into Monsters
