I don’t care that your wife didn’t fulfill some “need” you think […]

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007I don’t know how this day surprises me every year.

On The End Of Empire
Monday, August 20th, 2007If your browser caught it (hit ctrl-F5 if not), you’ll see the sad banner announcing the departure of the Evil Emperor Mindstation from the writing staff here at Point Five.
This whole thing evolved over two years ago from a homeschool assignment for my then 16-year-old son, when I suggested that he start a blog as […]
Losing is For Losers, Loser
Wednesday, November 8th, 2006The gray cloud of melancholy has lifted with the morning sun.
I can think of one thousand reasons why we won’t take back the House in 08. Chief among them that our slow, steady progress in Iraq will finally show dividends by 08, and will be endlessly credited to the “New Direction.”
Why the Senate will […]
9/11 Remembrance: Christina Donovan Flannery
Monday, September 11th, 2006Part of the 2996 Project
We live lives of magic and wizardry. We spend our days consumed with concerns that generations before would find strange and unreal. We worry about getting a clear cell phone signal, or traffic tie ups, we obsess over interest rates and the price of a precious oily yellow- green […]

9/11
Sunday, September 11th, 2005“What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence? It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coasts, the guns of our war steamers, or the strength of our gallant and disciplined army. These are not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny in our fair land. All of them […]
Sunday Penance
Sunday, August 21st, 2005Go to Gates of Vienna and read Dymphna’s letter to Cindy Sheehan. No, not satire. One grieving mother to another.
