The items on Myspace and Ozymandias reminded me of all the empty space in this life once occupied by people and events which seemed to be important.

Ozymandias is the poetic version of Hitler in the Bunker.

That is a very cool map. I was a bit stunned (and frightened) to discover how small the “blogosphere” is. And the conservative blogosphere is just a small subset of that.

My man Fred might agree: Therefore, since the world has still Much good, but much less good than ill, And while the sun and moon endure Luck’s a chance, but trouble’s sure, I’d face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good.

Neo:

The poetry could well be describing the figure in the commentary before.

Any accomplishments…long since disappeared beneath the sands.
