He's baaaaaaaack...

As any of his friends will attest to, the sole reason the Lost One got into this whole blogging thing was as a sort of an homage to "The Diplomad" (As is his distinctive [some say annoying] third person form of address), a blog by conservative foreign services officers serving our nation in the embassies and consulates all across big daddy Earth. This is a dangerous job for a conservative, 1. because not everyone in the world loves the US, and 2. because liberals tend to flock to this type of job, and squeeze out any conservatives. But it also gave them an insiders view of some of the most stupid, ineffective, evil, and sometimes all three world policies (The Lost One's favorite? The time an African government decided they would magnanimously free a group of slaves in a public ceremony, then canceled the ceremony, because, "There are no slaves in our country." Tee-Hee.).

Then right when he was hooked, they shut the web site down.

Horrors.

Sorrow.

Tragedy.

But recently, while looking for an article on the site, he discovered they were back, Baby. Now admittedly the old Chief Diplomad is mostly gone, and they don't post all that often, but even so the site deserves to be clicked on, like your a crack addicted lab rat looking for his fix. Get you're fix people. It's totally worth it.

If you will excuse him, the Lost One will be writing his latest grant proposals:

Puppies: Soft and cuddly, or Horrifying monsters of death? and Water: Falling in may lead to wet clothing.

Woo-Hoo! Grant money get ready, the Lost One is on his way!

Hatred for the Other...

The Lost One was today, reminded of C.S. Lewis' admonition not to hate those who are our enemies. What brought the wise man's advice back into mind? This article.

Via Ace (Who else?)

Bonus: Ronald Reagan, was there anything he didn't know?

Bonus to the Bonus: Check out the quote from Buckley:
We deem it the central revelation of Western experience, that man cannot ineradicably stain himself, for the wells of regeneration are infinitely deep.

Replace "Western" with "Christian" (as any who study history will tell you it is often correct to do) and we get quite the profound truth.
