Do the Dead Watch Over Us? You bet they do!
I happen to come from a family with certain psychic sensitivities. I have seen and also intuitively experienced ghosting. If you've never had this experience, of course you think it is brain chemistry or delusion, but once you've had the experience, you stop deluding yourself. Probably one of the few things I know for certain about ghosts, and hauntings, is that they tend to be place-related. Why that is so is an interesting question in... Read Full Story
Mmmm!
With Cicero gone for the weekend, I can take Liberties.
"Cicero's" Blog of the Day is Bookworm Room. Studly blog. Here are the ones I most enjoyed:
The Moral of the Story. Something near and dear to the Liberty Peak Lodge Way: Honest Morality. A teaser --There’s a whole new genre of books out there in which people try to write about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy after their marriage, or in which they try to update the story. Without exceptions, these books are dismal failures and... Read Full Story
This Way, Please
Haven't been to Bookworm Room for awhile. Man! That's a blog! If we get our blog that tight, we can be PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD! This post, What I’ll be reading today, caught my attention. Liberty Peak Lodge readers will appreciate this list:Among the other things I’ll be reading today will be all of these posts that the Watcher’s Council members nominated. Without having even read them, I know based on past experience that they will be wonderful, since my fellow... Read Full Story

He Ventured Forth to Bring Light to the WorldAnd it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness . . . . .Will Americans Buy Obama's Global Pitch?

A little ditty to get stuck in the ol' grey matter this today.
Mine Eyes Have Seen... (a poem)
Russ Vaughn (with apologies to Julia Ward Howe and her revered Battle Hymn of the Republic)Mine eyes have seen the stories from Obama's media horde; They are trampling out what sanity their liberal brains once stored. How he's using them is frightening, he's become their liberal lord, But the dupes keep marching on. You'll be sorry how he's used ya; you'll be sorry how he's used... Read Full Story
Et Tu, Ciceroo?
People of the World, Look at Me!So supposedly sophisticated Europeans, who constantly dissect American politics and culture, seem suddenly to like us now, because a younger, more mellifluous figure repackaged the standard American trans-Atlantic rah-rah speech, dressed up with a little Obama messianic sermonizing: “People of Berlin — people of the world — this is our moment. This is our time!” along with some throwaway lines about global warming and Darfur? That’s all it... Read Full Story
I am a Pilgrim, and a Stranger
It is with great pleasure that I met up with the witty and prolific founder of Liberty Peak Lodge, Irish Cicero. He is, as you would expect, a character, given to guffaws and irreverent hoo-ahs. A large fella, he slapped my arm so much I feared I might need medical attention, but we got through the interview without loss of life. I'm posting a good chunk of his responses here. I'll put the rest up later, when my arm works better.
Thanks for the Photo... Read Full Story
