Is it okay to hate New York?
Given that I am a born and bred Bostonian and self described New England supremacist, readers may assume that any rant against NYC is going to be about sports. The truth is I don’t give a shit about sports except tennis, badminton and racquetball and this is mostly because I like the outfits one can wear while playing these sports. When people try to talk to me about sports my eyes glaze...

I am pleased to announce the birth of my first business: Capital Gains Unlimited. We are an investment firm whose primary focus is the perpetual accumulation of capital within all currencies in all time zones all the time always. I will soon have a PayPal account set up on this site so investors can contribute directly.
The Economics of an H J
“Later, I vaguely saw Margarita getting dressed. Válerie rummaged in her bag to give her something. They kissed on the doorstep. Outside, it was dark. ’I have her forty dollars,’ said Válerie, lying down again beside me. ’That’s the price western men pay. To her, it’s a month’s salary’…
‘It’s strange, what sex costs,’ I...
DEATH TO FALSE METAL
Per a discussion on ‘freaks’:
“I also used to hang out with a guy with had been disfigured really badly by burns. When he was a kid, his mom had been a Hell’s Angels chick and one time some Angels recklessly through some scalding water out of the window and he happened to be underneath. He had this look where his face was unusually shriveled and he had a strange ultra-pale...
Freedom Isn't Free, or, A Third Freedom
Remember when people started saying, “freedom isn’t free”? More often than not one would see it on a bumper sticker, rather than hear this phrase spoken, given that the bumper sticker is the preferred method for projecting political statements here in the USA. When I started seeing this phrase I didn’t know what to make of it. If it is not free than it must be for...
Even more on the British Empire; but mostly...
So my post outlining the origins of sadism and racial and spiritual superiority within the British Empire ruffled a few feathers. Mostly those of this prat who seemed offended that I dared suggest that the slaughter committed by the British Empire might rival and even surpass that of the Nazis and Soviets combined. Well Myf responded first with a whole arsenal of statistics at her disposal and...
More Postmodern Cynicism
“Why ‘disgusting’?” Géraldine protested. ”As long as the participants as freely consenting, I don’t see a problem. It’s a contract, that’s all.”
“I don’t believe you can ‘freely consent’ to humiliation and suffering. And even if you can, I don’t think it’s reason enough.” Valérie was really...
More on the British Empire
The above picture shows the execution on John André. He was a British spy during the American War of Independence who apparently almost turned the tide for the British but was captured before he could do so. He worked alongside Benedict Arnold. The dude who runs The Trad blog wrote a screenplay about John André though it never went anywhere. This is too bad because while I find most films on...
The British are the most horrible people in...
tetradugenica:
After all, what right do those white settlers have to the land? Their great-grandfathers stole it at gunpoint, or got it by dirty tricks, a little over a century ago. Funny how nobody ever wants to talk about that. The man who took Zimbabwe for the Brits, Cecil Rhodes, was a classic Victorian closet case who distracted himself from his sinful urges with a bloodsoaked vision of...
Candy Review: Bit-O-Honey
Andy Warhol famously said that he only ate candy. I think this was at some fancy dinner party being held by Peggy Guggenheim when Andy was still doing the Boho Dance. Well I have been subsisting off of candy and TaB™ for most of my life so I feel I can objectively review it.
So the other day (right?) I go to the spa near the T station before work to get some candy. I love this place because...
