#1 It is generally not known that Orwell, AKA Frank R., escaping his POUM (Partido Obrero de Unificacion Marxista) unit, showed up in Barcelona in December 1936. His later works indicate that he had broken with the Marxists. He was seen in the company of the United States Consul active in Barcelona. And the United States may actually have paid his way to return to northern Europe. To my knowledge no one has ever investigated in the Archives of the United States this unusual series of events.

#2 Anyone who has a problem with Orwell is a totalitarian.

Always be anti-totalitarian.

#3 I like using the term "double plus ungood" but certain people have told me I shouldn't. Apparently it has become politically incorrect. I don't care. I like the way it sounds. I like the way it mocks the politically correct and makes them nervous so I plan to keep using it.

#6 "Oops!" Or, Making the News

Said Winston at 1307,
"Sans Trumpstein, this hell would be heaven!
Were there but a time
We could dwell on his crime
As one voice, every day! Say, eleven?"
