David Thorne – how can I add you to my blogroll?

Yes, emphatically,  I am not able to move small objects with my mind – or I’d performed the task myself the first minute of reading his hilariously sarcastic and monty-pythonishly humorous “articles”.
Like this one. Just for the phrase
I do [however] feel a suitable and appropriate punishment for handing out medieval metaphysic[al] propaganda to children would [...]

Could it be true?

Is it really true, that there are conservatives/libertarians out there, besides me, who are atheists and are not deterring to religious Right’s “wisdom” or at least to their majority as if the numbers is a decisive factor in the battle of ideas? Who are as tired as I am of libertarians quoting Bible as if [...]

“Dignity of risk”

It is a great, beautiful in its precision bon mot, and I’m adding to my reading list the person who introduced it. Even though he considers Steve Sailer a smart guy…and gave himself such a totally untrue pseudonym.
There are also two more additions to the blogrool, Dry Bones and Catmoves; enjoy.

This is the same mentally damaged individual who appeared first in this post, then in this.  Yes, back in July. She has been leaving her smelly marks in [...]

Спасибо Мишель за рекомендацию. Прочла сегодня , из свежего поступления в ленту, и не пожалела.
я из хорошей семьи, которая жила в плохом районе :)

Хорошо бы и дальше так.

New faces

Being a thrifty woman (ha!), I did get something good out of this election: two new additions to the blogroll. Laurie Kendrick (marked as her favorite D.Parker’s quote, “What fresh hell is this?”) and Sonic Charmer – as himself. I found  both these two pearls while surfing wordpess’ murky waters; look how shiny my loot is!

Blogroll revision

As I said before (or I think I did, in any case I should have said it) – every once in a while I examine links on the sidebar and sometimes make changes -that doesn’t mean the current combination is bad, or it will not be altered in the future. I like variety, on some [...]

This photo should be accompanied at presentation by its counterparts in other 4 senses.
Morning air is cool, there flows from afar the bitter-sweet smell of the vines that peasants burn in the vineyards, and – from near by – aroma of freshly ground coffee, rising and foaming in darkened copper jezvey. Through [...]
