Nevertheless, I wanted to share with you a few things of interest this morning: From Strate-Sphere, we get a bead on the real enemy of Islam and, surprise! surprise!, it’s not
Continue readingOver at the Watcher’s Council, the votes are in, and they are good, especially since most of the posts and articles for which I voted did well, and so did I. On the Watcher’s side, first place went to ‘Okie’ on the Lam for 2001 — Our Own Odyssey Began
