  Yesterday, I said that I found myself drawn to WWII books these days, and later on I think I discovered why: it's the obits! Especially the British ones which seem to feature amazing WWII veterans and survivors every day.

  Thanks to Gordon, but (again) not its Gordon, for bringing to my attention the news that the Christian-Zionist and fundamentalist station Genesis-Revelation TV is moving its broadcast licence to Spain.

  Even with a red carpet, black tux, and white satin V-neck gown, Titus and Kaylie’s wedding was anything but ordinary. It wasn’t the music (Mendelssohn’s Wedding March) or the location (a high-end boutique selling upscale food, clothes and jewellery.)
