"Courage can be purchased at yon tavern!" -- The honorable Dutton Peabody, Esq.

 


Daniel Clark -- founder, owner, editor, and he also sweeps out the place

Welcome to The Shinbone, an online news publication which I hope you will soon come to trust and enjoy.

*The latest column* by the editor of The Shinbone is Sorry, Dahlink, a warning about what America’s disregard for the Budapest Memorandum could mean for future interpretations of Article 5 of the NATO charter.

The College Football Czar thanks his readers for their part in making another season as fun as it could possibly be, even as the greatest game on earth is in the process of being totally destroyed.  To learn more about the Czar and his mission, please consult his Ground Rules. If you love college football, but not the liberal twaddle that constantly gets in its way, then you'll surely appreciate the Czar's insights, and want to share them with your friends.

From the archives:  Regardless of who wins this year’s presidential election, there is one thing, unfortunately, that we know we can count on, as explained here: Tariff Man II: Trump policy shields Biden from blame (12/29/2021).  Remember when Russia unveiled “the next generation of missiles,” which made its army virtually invincible?  This publication does, as you’ll see in Russia's Ruse: If wonder missiles exist, why tell us? (3/21/18).  If you can’t believe how deeply John Kerry has gotten sucked into the climate cult, remember that he was already most of the way there a decade ago, as explained in The Worst That Can Happen Is You, Sec. Kerry (5/31/14).

For an overview of the mission of this website, please read The Shinbone Manifesto.

The Shinbone presents a comic strip called Politimals -- in which politicians let their animal instincts get the best of them. In Politimals, the two major parties fight it out like cats and dogs, which they are (as the Democats and Repuppicans, respectively). They are joined by anarchists (bats), self-described independents (sheep), political consultants and pollsters (weasels and squirrels), and whatever other critters happen along.

* The Shinbone does its part to save the planet, by issuing this warning to Stop Accelerated Density, Now!

To look up previous Shinbone columns, go to the Archives at the bottom of this page, or search by topic by going to the Issue Index.

If you like what you have seen here at The Shinbone, please tell as many people as possible where you found it. Thank you.
