#3 The Colonel has produced the most epic rant I believe I have ever read.

I printed it this morning and left it at my daughter's place at the breakfast table before I left for work (at 0500. The relevance of that will be lost on her.)

She has been in deep mourning since the election. She is everything the good colonel describes - 25 years old, 3 years of college under her belt before flunking out with huge loans taken out to finance a 'women's studies' degree. Blue hair and trying so hard to be gay because it is in fashion. Low paying, part-time job. Supremely jealous of her brothers because of their success. (Two engineers, a sailor, and two businessmen).

Honey, I love you but lose the eye/lip rings and observe the habits of successful people. I'll gently help you.

Except for today - I'm rubbing your nose in it. Supper should be interesting.

#5 Tom Kratman wrote Caliphate, a tale of 22nd century Europe. I have recommended it here before, though it is too intense for me. It is again (still?) free from Amazon in kindle form.

#7 TW, I don't know if Caliphate is still free. I found it an interesting read. He did not address the current flood of colonists into Europe, because he wrote it before the floodgates were opened.

#8 1 Schadenboner, n, f., Germlish. The erection experienced by a male rightie at the misery lefties feel when they are utterly routed and rejected, horrified, humiliated, and hounded from power. Those experiencing a Schadenboner lasting more than two days should seek medical attention (h/t Francis Turner). Note: This title was chosen and this column was inspired by and is dedicated to Cora Buhlert, of Bremen, Germany, based on a rant she posted, here: http://corabuhlert.com/2016/11/10/attention-rant-incoming/

- Its true - she's too cowardly to allow comments...

#9 TW, I don't know if Caliphate is still free

It was when I posted that this morning, Rambler. I just don't know if he is running another special or if he's decided to have it as a permanent gift to current and future readers.

#10 GORT, congratulations on the successes of all your stalwart sons. Your poor daughter is probably confusing a very different temperament with being female, and needs to look for happiness elsewhere. Not all of us are meant for the hurly burly of managerial work -- it took me years to understand that about myself, because of course we all were taught that being intelligent necessarily translated to a well paid professional career.
