Letters from Mongolia & More, Con Amore


Guyuk had style, but Michelangelo had cojones. Jefferson? Sounds like Ron Paul in his "It's Yankee Aggression" apologetics for Islam Militant.

Now, what exactly did Pius say to Hitler?

FCP infantilising the brain?


'We know how small babies need constant reassurance that they exist. My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.'

Benny warns against too much FCP

If the desire for virtual connectedness becomes obsessive, it may in fact function to isolate individuals from real social interaction while also disrupting the patterns of rest, silence and reflection that are necessary. Duhhh...

An FCP kind of guy

“His behavior and attitudes reveal that he feels like a rejected genius,” the agent noted in his report, which has since been made public. “He shows that whoever does not agree with his views is stupid and incompetent.”

Decades later, Mr. Klaus, the 67-year-old president of the Czech Republic continues to provoke strong reactions. He has blamed what he calls the misguided fight against global warming for contributing to the international financial crisis, branded Al Gore an “apostle of arrogance” for his role in that fight, and accused the European Union of acting like a Communist state.

Let's go to Palau

If votes in the United Nations serve as a gauge of global opinion, 98.9 percent of the world opposes the U.S. trade embargo on Cuba, a measure imposed 46 years ago to isolate the communist-ruled island and bring down its leaders.

It failed on both counts. As far as international opinion is concerned, the country that is isolated is the United States, not Cuba. In the latest of 17 successive U.N. General Assembly resolutions on lifting the embargo, Washington mustered only two allies — Israel and Palau, a Pacific island nation difficult to find on a map. It has a population of 21,000.

Sounds good to me. They even have a Community College there.

Can we boil an egg?

79% of adults cannot boil an egg. Playing the odds, this must mean at least one (perhaps more) of us FCPers doesn't know how to boil an egg. C'mon guys, fess up. JJ?
