So now the Dresden bombings were some kind of Christian crusade? I didn't know WWII was a Christian holy war. You learn something new every day.

To get this thing back on track before they lock it and unleash the banschwerk....

I thought that in J-school, they taught that all that is good and holy is the 1st Amendment.  In fact you can pretty much stop reading right there, in fact don't have to read nuthin' else of that fine document.


I thought that Jo-urinalists, were told in J-school to be prepared to go to jail, be de-humanized, and maybe even die for the 1A.

Well, maybe when it comes to standing up to "The Man", but not so much when it might be a bunch of screaming beards that while hack your head off with a dull sword.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
