Vulcanology

  • Utopia's promise and Vulcan's mercy ...
    Hard-chromed and brutally alloyed / he fed the scrapyard hurricane. / Melting metal, his brawn enjoyed / the splash of sweat cooling the pain. / The weight of the world discarded / at the foot of his furnace lit, / he struggled to make soon parted / its history -- hard and fast writ / in twisted iron and mangled steel. / Stoking the fire, hellishly hot, / a cauldron of memories once real, / he freed the souls of things forgot. / Now thick from his lethean flame, / smelted loose of its heavy years, / the once plucky metal flowed tame, / shiny new without smiles or tears.

Key Articles

  • An Exceptional Land

  • High Court Outlaws
    How the Constitution puts the fate of Roe v. Wade and the culture of death in the hands of our elected officials and not the Supreme Court.
  • The Inauthenticity of Authenticity
    The truth the Left despises: A man is truly himself as a moral being exercising reason and self-control, not as a clever beast enslaved to his appetites.
