The face of evil is not always replete with the tell-tale signs from legend. Sometimes it’s just boring and innocuous, like this.

If you don’t like same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of your sex. Don’t steal the happiness of over 800,000 other people.

A literal use of the “color bar” allusion in Bruce Hornsby’s “ That’s Just the Way It Is”…a nearly 40 year old song that should not still be relevant but is.

Yes. This is where we are. It took the Cankled Cretin less than a year to bring us back to the worst of the 1930s.

Cool autumn winds blow
As I cut winter’s firewood.
Gold, red and brown leaves
Float on the winds to the sky
Would that I could go with them.

I fought in a wonderful Longsword tournament yesterday. I did not bedazzle with my mastery. But there was a moment with a fellow Fiore scholar: we played chess out of range with posta until he committed to an attack. I threw an imbroccota from a Marazzo posta, not Fiore. He was floored…literally.

Keep reminding us. Societies without societal memory become arrogant, self-righteous and capable of the worse of human behavior….

I am reminded of that scene from “The Dead Zone” with Martin Sheen saying, “The missiles are flying! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”

I had this nightmare during the previous term. I have it again now.
