A repost, in honor of the fall of the Berlin Wall, November 9, 1989:
This, for me, was the most powerful image depicting the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
The Ziggy-like figure drawn here is der Deutsche Michel, a national self-portrait much like Uncle Sam is to the US. With no words, the cartoonist [...]
A commenter recently pointed me to Rod Dreher’s book (and blog) Crunchy Cons in response to my thoughts on the politicization of choosing an agrarian lifestyle. Truth be told, I’ve always had an uneasy feeling reading about this idea of “crunchy” conservatism. What does a political philosophy have to do with your choice [...]

Max and Ruby is quickly becoming my favorite children’s show. Each episode is a slow-paced, whimsical tale of everyday life, told from the perspective of a child.
