The “Good” War
It is certainly unpatriotic to suggest that our “exceptional” Nation would condone and encourage the sexual abuse of children by our noble partners in the struggle against Terrorist Extremism just as it would be to imply that we would deliberately bomb Hospitals, First Responders, and Civilians or support a systematic campaign by our upstanding and …

This isn’t Wizard Tiddlywinks at Hogwarts
If you search Google News for Jeremy Corbin today you’ll find that J.K. Rowling can’t sleep nights over the prospect of the impending Corbyn romp over Owen Smith in the Labour Leadership election (about which more in a moment).

Rattle Shaking Shamen
Look, you will never, ever hear from me that Economics is any more a “science” than the obeah divination practiced by the late lamented Ms. Cleo (Youree Dell Harris of Los Angeles California who left the Seattle stage after her failed production of Supper Club Cafe).

The Great Wall (Of Ice)
I feel somewhat compelled to be specific. Not the big pile of masonry in the Western part of China that you can see from Space. Not the huuge beautiful one on the Southern border of the United States that the Mexicans are going to pay for. Nope, the every bit as ambitious and likely to …

The Zombie Deals- TTIP and TPP
The reason I call them Zombie Deals is that by all accounts, they’re dead Jim dead! On the other hand it doesn’t pay to underestimate the power of the D.C.
