It's about staying power.

This here isn't one of those deals where I got really excited about starting a blog and then quit after two or three posts. No fucking way- this is about dug in, hard as nails, cockroach kind of posting. Thousands of ugly little posts crawling everywhere and multiplying. Go ahead- just let me see you try to stomp on one of these posts. It's your monitor.

And kudos to Imperialism- it just refuses to quit. Centuries old and it's still swaggering around the globe like some kind of hip, homicidal spring-chicken bachelor. It's had a few face lifts to keep it looking young and fresh, but the careful observer can still spot its unmistakable style. Cockroaches and my posts may be hard to eradicate, but even combined they haven't killed anywhere close to as many people as Imperialism has. But for all it's accomplishments, it has still failed to deliver in one crucial area: affordable life-like squirrel costumes.
