		<title>Signing Off&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[July 4, 2010 After three years of blogging, AWOL Civilization is taking a sabbatical. In the foreseeable future, I will be devoting my time to other pursuits, most notably the completion of a new novel.

		<title>The Hubris Spill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; [UPDATE, 6/28/2010: A fascinating article in the Weekly Standard describes the intimate connection between British Petroleum and the Obama administration, as well as the company’s long history of advocacy on behalf of the Green movement.

		<title>Liberal or Leftist?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; In a recent post, I proposed that we, the anti-Obamunist camp, desist from playing the game of public-opinion polls. I would like to add another proposal: Cease using the term “liberal” to refer to the opposition. Using this word bestows an undeserved upgrade. Every time it leaves one’s mouth, the entire movement represented [...]]]></description>

		<title>I, Claudius (Seattle Version)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; I recently had the opportunity to spend a day in Seattle. I was surprised to find that Claudius, the emperor of Rome some two millennia ago, had found new employment. At the Seattle Art Museum, he helps remind us of the cultural decay into which our civilization has fallen. This is because one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jihad Has a Friend in Washington</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; Talk about the fox guarding the henhouse. John Brennan, the administration’s top counter-terrorism official, tells us that jihad is a “legitimate tenet of Islam.” In a wide-ranging apology for Muslim terror, he asserted that the word “jihad” should not be used; nor do we describe our enemy as &#8216;jihadists&#8217; or &#8216;Islamists&#8217; because jihad [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ideas, Principles, and the Cult of Public Opinion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; Sooner or later, the Obamunist machine will reach a critical point, beyond which it will either burn itself out and be replaced, or morph into a totalitarian monster of inconceivable dimensions.

The Obama-Pelosi-Reid slow-motion coup d’état now transpiring in Washington has sparked anew the question lurking in the mind of every sober observer: Are we headed for an era of darkness and civilizational collapse the likes of which have [...]]]></description>
