Tools of the Trade

Is world conquest your gig?
– When you go home from the office, do you wish it were a Subterranean Island Base with optional Volcano Upgrade instead of a crappy apartment?
– Would you prefer to drive yourself home in your “Li’l Crusher” Economy Mobile Offensive Unit, or is being chaufferred in your SPV Advanced Armored Vehicle more your style?
– Do you dream of outfitting your henchmen with Exploding Obedience Collars?
– Is your concealed-carry weapon of choice a Gizesukarisito Mark 1 Multidimensional Handcannon?
– Does nothing get you quite as squishy as the prospect of owning your very own Morbitek Zombification Ray (Mk 1)?
– And when you’re down and out, do you dwell on ending it all with a Planet Kabanger?
If so, then Villain Supply may just be your one-stop shopping center!

The Ties That (No Longer) Bind

Kim du Toit writes something I’ve been thinking for a while, but does so in a way I was unable to express adequately without significant amounts of foul language (something any reader here knows I try to do without, despite my soldierly past.)
The anti-American Left has gone so far off the deep end that they’ve essentially departed the arena of ideas, where logic and discourse could once be counted on to persuade, or at least to reasonably exhort. Civil discourse, of course, is essential to the conduct of civil society.
No longer. The extreme Left is no longer capable of persuading or being persuaded. Rancor is their stock in trade, and hate is their motivating emotion. Thought, logic and reason rarely enter into the Left’s conduct.
So like I said, Kim says it better than me: There is no “we” anymore.
