This blog is a random collection of information, partly in support of my quotations web site. Other topics include wine, military news, economics, history, libertarianism, and other random things which happen to strike my fancy.

Comments have been turned off, as the spam was getting too much to handle. Comments can be emailed to me for posting.

H.L. Mencken, "The Saving Grace", Damn! A book of callumny, 1918.
