Same may use words like "key phrase", I say it's an additional footnote of almost certainly negligible relevance.

Little flour, little marsala wine and shitake mushrooms, yummy.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

You got a scam email that actually claimed to be from a Nigerian prince? Or was it something else?

One would think "Nigerian prince" being such a well-known shorthand for "scam" would at least cause them to change which character they play.

Nope, it actually said Nigerian prince. Like I had to pause and laugh seeing this old cliche in person.

Well, I've been lucky enough to not have received such scam emails. The worst spam I receive is bots trying to advertise someone's blog to me.

Of this I have no doubt.

I once got a letter from scammers claiming to be the Spanish State Lottery, a letter as in it had a nice Spanish stamp on it. They said I had won a share in a rather sizable prize, six figures worth of euros. There was a form on the back of the letter that would let me send them all the appropriate information to allow them to deposit the money in my account. I should have mailed back a letter saying, "Just send a cashier's check to the address you already have." I checked the Spanish lottery's web site and they had a special page up for that scam.

Whoa, flightless parrots in New Zealand! And penguins! And bats fighting with locusts on the ground!
