Blevkog: The Ultimate Responsibility
I am not a parent. It’s not that I didn’t want to be, I love children, and they seem to tolerate me well enough; events in my life have thus far prevented me from being a father. Which, of course, does not preclude it from happening in the future, and

His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against

How crazy has the US right wing become? This crazy. The headline comes from a prominent Christian blog. Critics have pointed out that the GOP fully intends to take back the US to the 50’s. Hell, they’re trying to take back the country to the 1700’s. Witch burnings anyone? Sex

Didja realise that merger and murder are separated by but one letter? Think about it… “Redrum. Redrem.” “Redrum. Redrem.” OK. Two letters. Still! But! That will have to wait… […]
