Light blogging for a while

SOF and I are going to be taking a little time.

So, in the meantime, some discussion? The Holy Roman Empire was neither. Discuss.

We will miss you Streak. Take a deep breathe and have a great time ;-)

I think you're right, it definitely wasn't an empire. They didn't even have the savoir faire to steal countries with the cunning use of flags.

Great Eddie Izzard bit, Leighton, and one that fits very well with my readings on the European travels in the Pacific.

I'll bet. Blue Latitudes sounds interesting. I've been on an Agatha Christie burn lately, and it's shocking sometimes how much attitudes about what is polite and decent have changed since the days of naked imperialism.
