Pretty Good Alert!  Jon Bois with the first of three parts on the US Reform Party:

If you are unfamiliar with Join Bois it's all good, but I like the Bob Emergency:

Dan Snow describes the portrayal of Napoleonic naval combat in Master and Commander

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
