Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

He should have known better


Christopher Hitchens and the Battle of Beirut

"They aren't just a street gang, they're a street gang with a state."
A Nazi party in Beirut. People whose masculinity is tied up in their political party and who wield power in order to batter and smash. Modern-day pillagers with the attitudes of the Middle Ages and the weaponry of the 21st Century. Truly, people to be feared.

Why is it so hot in here? And what are we doing in this handbasket?
