For some biting satire...

    By Jack Grant

...that I find humorous but may not necessarily be funny to you, James Wolcott has some acerbic observations on the pronouncements of certain prominent figures in the protestant Christian community.

Warning: Don't read if you're not willing to think outside your own head. But then, that could be a general statement, don't READ if you aren't willing to think about any viewpoint but your own.

At times, I wish I had the guts and the ability to write things like this...

Random Fate - latest posts


We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones



Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.


What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)


Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis


Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
