Guest posters

    By Jack Grant

I am going on vacation for two weeks.

What does this mean?

On vacation means I likely will not post, even if I have internet access, which I am not sure I will have given both my lack of plans for my vacation accompanied with the death of my favorite laptop.

So, to prevent the slow death of Random Fate, I have arranged for a variety of guest posters to keep Random Fate alive while I try to recover my perspective and regain my sanity, which has been strained by numerous sources, none of which I will go into here.

The guest posters range quite widely in viewpoint, but I have found ALL of them to be reasonable as opposed to knee-jerking in their responses to the events and the politics of the day.

In addition, ALL of them are engaging and entertaining to read, which is why they are all on my blogroll along with being at the top of my RSS news reader list.

So, please click on their names when you read their posts here, for that links you to their own, personal sites where you can get more of their original thoughts. The quality and tone of what they have posted on their own sites is indeed why I asked them to post here.

Their thoughts are their own, not just a rehash of the talking points from a particular party.

They each have their own point of view, and they all deserve to be heard, for they are willing to consider other viewpoints as well.

I hope you can follow their example and do the same.

Hehehehehe. (rubs hands) Now, how can we rearrange the furniture? Huh? What? What document? I signed a document that said I can only post, and not fiddle around with the settings?

Dangit!

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.
-John Donovan, 12 May 2004
