“A flash in the pan!” When applied to a person, this idiom means the person rose to success in a short period of time but then it disappears just as quickly. Such is what happened to Televangelist Eliseo Fernando Soriano. Hounded by a multitude of legal problems, the self-proclaimed “pantas”or wise man,  is nowhere to […]

Having been born and raised, much like the venerable Boss himself, here in the good old USA, I acquired from a very early age, somehow, the notion that, “war is better.” No, strike that – I meant, “more is better.” More, war, after one boils it all down, really amounts to the same thing, doesn’t […]

Magnetic fields find their genesis in electric currents. Magnetic fields are observed ubiquitously in space. However, space scientists illogically refuse to make the deductive leap required of them. Space is permeated by diffuse large-scale electric currents flowing in the interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic plasma pervading it.

I love Muslims. The few Muslim nations that I’ve visited are home to some of the most hospitable and generous people I have ever met. However, this does not change the politically incorrect fact that Islam is an ideology that inherently promotes violence, subjugation and inequality. You see, when the claim is submitted that ‘Islam […]

Cooking a romantic meal is not actually as hard as it sounds. The trick is investing time and money to be sure you get the best ingredients. The next step is picking through recipes until you find ones that are within your means.

The day is fast approaching.  No, not the winter equinox.  Wait, maybe the winter equinox is fast approaching.  But that’s not the one I’m talking about.  I mean the day of pink cards and Cupidian arrows, of little red chalky hearts with amorous phrases etched in white, of romance and candles and flowers and candies, […]
