In Which A Boogeyman Throws a Curve
I’ve mentioned the Koch brothers here in the past, and have observed that despite their support for a number of things (the arts, medical research, the ACLU) that liberals also support, their opposition to Leviathan-style government has made them (as … Continue reading

Some Heads of Their Time?
Okay — I just heard this on my favorite 60s stream, which claims that this track dates from circa 1966-68 (as does Allmusic). I find this almost unimaginable, although I could conceive of an early 70s date. The song appears … Continue reading

This and That
We closed the sale on Spackle Manor yesterday, getting us back in the only one mortgage business. During the closing, we discovered a reminder of a less pleasant era. The attorney (in South Carolina, all real estate deals must involve … Continue reading

How Does One Say “87th Precinct” in Korean?
I’ve read one of “James Church’s” Inspector O novels, police procedurals set in Pyongyang, and mean to read another, which is sitting in my office. But it’s hard to top this hour-long film. Ladies and gents, a NorK cop movie, A … Continue reading
