Been Awhile, Ain’t It?

Feels like an aeon since I last wrote anything substantial here (i.e., other than a post of this vein), during which time, I’ve been occupying my time with the rigours of work, assisting in the proofreading and/or copyediting  of some … Continue reading

Once Again, Fuck the U.N.!

Amidst all the usual bombings, bigotries, and bureaucracies that characterise modern life, it’s nice to have the odd thing to smile, if not outright belly laugh, about. Hulk Hogan’s financial ravishing of the sex-tape-leaking hacks at Gawker springs to mind, … Continue reading

Either Way, It’s American Displacement Day

Yesterday yielded another round of commotion regarding the infamous Christopher Columbus, designated “discoverer” of the so-called “New World” (Leif Erikson moans from Midgard!). No doubt, the less-than-vocal majority of Statesiders were simply thrilled to get a day off from work; … Continue reading

Halal & Hypocrisy XII: Vive la Dissonance!

On the 7th of January, three Islamic gunmen stormed the offices of left-wing satirical mag Charlie Hebdo, killing eleven staff members in the ensuing bullet shower. The magazine had previously made an international name for itself by printing the Mohammed … Continue reading

Land of the Reiching Sun? A Conflict Without Heroes

A few days back, I had the displeasure of reading a clickbait “article”, on the misleadingly named Dangerous Minds blog, concerning the Far Eastern fondness for Nazi aesthetics. I made the mistake of thinking I’d get something momentarily interesting out … Continue reading

Bane Anniversaire!

Well, lushes and reprobates, it came and went (again): that date of dates forever marked by the emergence of emergency across the pond twelve years ago yesterday. (Sadly, the planned commemorative Muslim ‘n’ biker bash in D.C. failed to take … Continue reading

A Demagogue’s Durr-cree: Ballot Determines Biology!

Reading about black American preachers urging their flocks to keep their bleating away from the ballot box gave me a warm glow inside, some two weeks back. Faced with the Hobson’s choice between an adherent to a historically negrophobic Christian … Continue reading

“Homo Sapiens? Really?”

One of my latest literary acquisitions has been both a source of extreme interest and extreme aggravation. Written sometime in the mid-eighties, Gerald B.

Season’s Bleatings and Heathen’s Greetings…

“Sieg Hallow!” or “Unhappy Halloween!”?

A browse through my Facebook groups brought a post from Sociological Images to my attention; the following pic was the talking point (before it was removed)… Predictably, condemnation saturated the tone of Lisa Wade’s post, which castigated the troublesome trio … Continue reading
