    A fitting commentary on the Academy and its Awards. Hilarious.

    I’m still awaiting the exoneration of Garrison Keillor. He said he doesn’t even like touching people, which I can believe. Prairie Home Companion sure got wearisome the last several years so it’s just as well he left it behind, but I don’t believe he deserves the shit he’s been hit with.

    Suppose none of them were “guilty”.
    But then, if they weren’t guilty, why no libel suits?
    If someone did that to me, and I hadn’t done the deed, they wouldn’t be stealing air any more.

    Insane situation that if a guy is accused of or has bad behavior in his background he is never supposed to work anywhere ever again? If a guy is criminal, arrest him. This other bs blacklisting is for the birds.

    The libs are still stunned & confused that their conservatives-sexual-predator meme bit them in the ass.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished

Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

— Van der Leun

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
