Some people say it's foolish to worry about soulless creatures overtaking the earth and devouring our brains. I say they've already won.
Blog Credo
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Beautiful Game
I watched the US-Brazil WWC match today.
It is impossible for me to believe that if Americans watched that game they wouldn't be drawn to soccer. But I went to ESPN and a few commenters were issuing the usual predictable "even the highlights are boring"... "too much drama"... "too much diving".
Isn't that what makes sports great? Isn't the narrative as important as the outcome?
