“Two Children, Maybe Three”
“Two children, maybe three” Sang those Temptations In conformity With birth control trolls, Those monitors of the earth Who frown upon birth When numbers exceed What they think the planet needs. But what will they say Facing the Creator on that Day In whose image they were made? What stocks and bonds will they trade? […]

The Demo Nazi Party
Why is our rhetoric so civil? Are we so nice and polite that we refuse to call a spade a spade? (Or a Democrat a damned Democrat?) I have, of course, our national politics in mind with its two presumed legitimate political parties, one of which, decidedly, is not – legitimate. No party which would […]

What’s Worse?
What’s worse? Pro-choice Slave holding Confederates Or pro-choice baby-killing Democrats? (Sorry, Southerners to make this equation No personal insult is intended But for the sake of argument It is recommended.)

Holocaust Deniers
Back in the days of WW II, and following, there were those who denied that the murder of Jews actually took place! What buffoons! What ignoramuses! What liars! Ah but the human condition – or the prevalence of the same kinds of people in the population – has not changed. We have those of the […]

“Oureia Ekbole”
That would be the transliteration of the expression which references “children exposed on the mountains” according to Euripedes as noted in my Greek-English Lexicon (Liddell and Scott, 7th edition).
