Now that the tattered bunting of the Boston Marathon has been taken down, the grillwork security barricades stacked and put away and the shrapnel swept up, the chorus of self-flagellation has begun. The introspection. The blaming of the victims. The shaming of American patriotism. We must apologize to the enemies, we’re told. If we apologize [...]

A Short Fragment
A young girl heard me speak, and asked: “Sir, what is the definition of a definition?” I was highly intrigued because I read genuine wonder sparkling on her delicate features. And admittedly the question was a good one. The sun shone upon the garden and I smelled the freshly cut grass – deeply inhaling the [...]
Frailty, what is thy name?
In a dream, it was this morning revealed to me at long last what women are really like. So as soon as I rinsed me from my slumber, I decided to come to this website to write down the most valuable findings of my revelation. I dreamed that I was visiting some young, soft and appealing woman. [...]
Passive aggression
When we speak of passive aggression, we’re talking about a general term for all actions that hide their aggressive intent behind egalitarian guilt. For example, during your dinner hour, a traveling salesman bangs insistently on your door. You tell him you’re not interested, and he gets indignant. “But I drove all this way, and I’m [...]
Brainslug owns you
When you wake up to this planet, you realise one thing sticking out the side of people’s heads; their thoughts are not their own but are subservient toward a domesticating agent, a memetic Brainslug.

The way this country was colonized and eventually taken over, and due to its sheer size, each state [...]
The meaningless life of a pet
Everywhere in modern civilization we find our societies getting drunk on all kinds of useless freedoms; one of the most useless is that of owning pets which neatly follows from the undeniable ‘human rights’. The reason why many people buy pets these days may be familiar to what Ted Kackzynski called the power process. In this it [...]
Heresies
I like to make lists. Sometimes I make lists of heresies. All heresies start with this precept: reality is different than dogma. That’s what makes them heretical; they offend dogma. If our leaders and fellow citizens tell us that something is true, and we point to a contrary example, we are heretics. In a “free” [...]
The hero is dead; Long live the hero
For those who value the false idea of “equality” in our society, incidents like this cause cognitive dissonance: Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said Paul Langone, 33, of Reading, heard the screams of Dr. Astrid Desrosiers on the fifth floor of an MGH office building on Staniford Street. Langone entered the doctor’s office [...]
