IRAN: January 10, 2020 ”If you ... intend to be first in, and hit your enemy in the belly, and kick him when he is down, and boil your prisoners in oil (if you take any!), and torture his women and children, then people will keep clear of you.” — John Arbuthnot Fisher, Baron Fisher of Kilverstone (1841-1920) WELL. Um. Yes. We can agree, probably, that the mighty commander of...
A mission for the ‘20s

MORALITY: January 3, 2020 So. Another decade behind us, another in front. JOURNALISTS love nothing more than the opportunity to gaze analytically in either direction. “Fills up the paper,” we used to say, back when newspapers needed constant filling to complement the ads on which our business model rested. The fun part was looking...
Again and again and again

RELIGION: December 23, 2019 Memorizing the Middle English of Geoffrey Chaucer — as required in the senior English curriculum of long ago — I found sheer repetition the ticket to success. “Whan that Aprille ... whan that Aprille...whan that Aprille ...” over and over and over.

To wit: “But what’s that got to do with the price of eggs?” Or, more pointedly sometimes, “the price of eggs in Arkansas?” I...
Ain’t it the truth?

TRUTH: December 3, 2019 The Anglican Church of Canada clutches its throat at the prospect of — Lord have mercy — shutting down its ministries and works 20 years from now. You know — putting up the “Closed” sign, the public demand for said ministries dwindling more with every passing year. So sharply have Anglican...
Of impeachers and extra drumsticks
William Murchison 12/01/2019 - 8:40pm
THANKSGIVING: November 29, 2019 Beyond the impeachment mess surrounding President Donald Trump, which is due to be settled one of these days — I think in Trump’s favor, but what do I know? — beyond the impeachment mess, I was starting to declare, sprawls before us ... what, exactly? More messes of similarly degrading character...
