Not only are the archives there, but a new post as well. Why? Well (speaking of nukes), it's that time of year again, the approach of the anniversaries of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, and I guess the spectacle of Catholic advocacy for the proposition that intentionally slaughtering innocents in great numbers for a good end is the one thing that can bring him out of retirement. His post is best appreciated by following the links he provides to Mark Shea's blog and a joint called The American Catholic, with apparent emphasis on "American." Zippy joins with the enemy in comments, firing only at combatant targets:
Abortion and infanticide are just fine, as long as they are done by a nuke rather than a curette.
And, to a commenter who thinks that "nuking a civilan city that civilians should have left is equivalent to nuking empty buildings" -Anyone else gonna challenge this? Beuller?
Ah, the memories.

Old blogs never die, they just go to Wordpress.
Speaking of old blogs going to wordpress, I've set up shop in a wordpress blog at http://summa.motd.org
Could you make it easier to comment on your blog? They want me to log in as if I were a Wordpress user. I hate Wordpress.
I think I've opened it up - could you test it when you have a chance? Thanks!
It works. You've got some good stuff there. I'm going back to follow the link to the Robert George essay. I'm also interested in "reusing kitchen scraps to grow more food or foliage."
Hey, thanks for noticing.
Any time, old friend. I'd like to be able to notice more often. Hint.
This is once again completely off-topic, but I was worried it would be seen by the wrong people if I commented elsewhere about the "controversy". You remember who Vinteuil is, right? A certain agnostic Italy-visiting philosophy teacher who enjoys classical music. It is bizarre that he is ingratiating himself with L.A., although I suppose they deserve each other.
Also, good to know Zippy is back at work.
I remember the name, but not the nature of his comments at W4. I saw also Kristor and Sage, who did good work in taking LA to task. I don't go to LA's unless steered there by someone else. Aside from his pose of infallibility (ironically, he likes to kick the Catholic Church around from time to time), there's something depressing about the place. One cause is probably the racial undertone that Cella warned me about years ago. I don't mind discussing the problem of black crime, but when we begin hypothesizing that some of the perpetrators might not even be human, well, I have other things to do.
"I remember the name, but not the nature of his comments at W4."
He wasn't a commentator. Steve goes by Vinteuil at his other blog.
Oh, that's right. Completely forgot. Well, I guess ordinarily strange bedfellows can kiss and make up if the right issue is on the table.
