Leopold Bloom’s Sandwich – a BC Special…

The other day I briefly wrote about my Bloomsday ritual – having that Gorgonzola sandwich for lunch the fictional Leopold Bloom’s had on June 16, 1904 at a very real place – Davy Byrne’s at 21 Duke Street in Dublin, a pub quite familiar to James Joyce. But there was some consternation... Wrote BC: “... Sign in to see full entry.

There’s a good and courageous couple in Oz…

It’s difficult to know how many Muslims really understand what Western liars, fools and ignoramuses (ignorami? LOL) call their ‘Religion of Peace’, but there clearly are some. How many will act on that understanding is of course another matter! Given that the highest Islamic authorities keep... Sign in to see full entry.

Bloomsday!

It’s June 16, the day Leopold Bloom, the hero of James Joyce’s book Ulysses, perambulates parts of Dublin, and of course the day the novel takes place… A novel by some regarded as the ‘Greatest’ ever, by others as ‘Overrated’ – to me, any such grading is simply silly and pointless! I have always... Sign in to see full entry.

A critical Arab voice…

There are other critical voices – I have presented a few here, and could offer many more. At the outset I just want to stress one thing: You never hear their voices in our Mainstream Media ( MSM ) – at least I haven’t! But if you have, please let me know and I will gladly admit I was wrong… Here it... Sign in to see full entry.

Another thing we’re seeing now…

As a follow-up to my post on how we have recently begun to actually observe the way light bends in a curvature of space, I should add that a couple of years ago we observed for the first time waves in the fabric of spacetime, as predicted by Einstein in his G.T. of R. of 1915. The source of these... Sign in to see full entry.

Now we are seeing it…

We’ve known it for over a hundred years… But observing it is a different matter and, as far as I know, Einstein himself wasn’t sure it could ever be directl y observed. We certainly didn’t have the means at the time… When he published his General Theory of Relativity in 1915, following his Special... Sign in to see full entry.

Thoughts about ‘Evil’...II

Thank you for all your comments, ladies and gentlemen, LOL… When I look at those comments, I notice a common theme – a search for definitions. And because that is the predominant theme, I shall address it directly, and in doing so answer all of you simultaneously and in the end clarify my own point,... Sign in to see full entry.

Thoughts about ‘Evil’...I

This is just a brief post in response to GM’s notion that there is such a thing as Evil even beyond the realm of religious discourse. My assertion is there isn’t, although the connection may not be immediately visible. I think it is ‘religious’ even when there is not necessarily a direct connection... Sign in to see full entry.

Response-to-Comments Monday…

Yes, it’s that time again to respond to what has dwindled to a mere trickle for some time now, LOL… That’s not meant as a complaint, but merely as a statement of fact, and as you may have gathered by now, I like facts. I like them particularly because facts and only facts can be shown to be wrong –... Sign in to see full entry.

I don’t quite know how to tell you this…

And I wasn’t even sure I should tell you at all…But I shall. Yesterday I had a very bad day, and even today has been difficult… Some of you may recall the posts I wrote about the geese I met at a store in that big mall not too far from my house. I had since stopped by there occasionally in the... Sign in to see full entry.
