Good morning! Good morning! Welcome once again to Sunday Griot! Come, have a seat. Be comfortable. Today's story is another original effort, about a faraway place that doesn't resemble the here and now in the slightest, I'm sure you'll agree. It's called . . . The Weapon. Read More

Good morning! Welcome once again to Sunday Griot.

This week the world's Jews are celebrating Passover, so I thought I would present a Passover story. I'll warn you right now, it's a bit dark, but there's light in it too. And I have to say I'm sorry I couldn't think of a better title that was as descriptive as . . . Passover In Hell. Read More

As Frederick Clarkson mentions in his The Lights Are Going On II diary, Pastordan is doing a great service by giving those of us who are people of faith a chance to speak out against the alleged "men of faith" who are trying to hoodwink the people of America into helping them hijack this country. I wrote up a few lines for him to add to the project, which I am cross-posting in this diary.

If you like this meme, please help spread it. These people are wrapping themselves in the trapping of Christianity, but they are really worshiping the false god of Mammon. They say one thing and do another. I do not believe they are the Antichrist, but they are Anti-Christ in the broad sense of the word. They are hypocrites, and you know what Jesus said about hypocrites. They deserve to be exposed. Read More

I admit: I'm superstitious. I believe in the supernatural power of prayer, karma, positive energy and good vibes. The sharing of joy and happiness can help us get through the cold and darkness of this administration.

That's how Carnacki starts these out when he's here. Well, I didn't know how superstitious he was until he appeared in the C&J Cafe chat room this afternoon and asked for a volunteer to fill in for him today. Before I knew it everyone had taken a step back and I was standing out front with my tongue in my mouth and my teeth hanging out. They must have all realized this would be Got A Happy Story #13.

But that's OK because it gives me a chance to tell a story I've just never yet gotten around to. It's the story of why Damien comes to visit. Read More

Today is an anniversay that has gone almost completely unnoticed, and I wanted to bring it to the attention of Kosmopolitans everywhere so we could publicize it. For exactly one hundred years ago today, on April 1st, 1905, Professor Aaron Abramowicz of Yeshiva University and a fellow of the American Oriental Society made an amazing announcement.

I have noticed a distressing trend of late of people who get fed up with Daily Kos, or its posters, or its perceived problems, or all of the above, and leave in a blaze of glory with a "Goodbye, Cruel World" diary to announce their displeasure. These diaries must take a great deal of time to write, and no doubt take up much of the posters' newly found post-Kos spare time.

Therefore, as a public service to Kossacks around the globe, here is a handy fill-in-the-blanks template for a "Goodbye, Cruel World" diary. Just choose the answers that suit you best, or fill in your own! Read More
