Welcome!

Welcome to the Chronicle of the Fall of Western Civilization.

I'm Daryl Gale, host and creator of this blog. By trade I'm a journalist, newspaper columnist, radio talk show host and public affairs consultant. Even with all that on my plate, I still felt the need to create an additional forum for my ideas and rantings, and offer that forum to others who share the same interests.

So what will I be writing about here? Politics, world news, local news from my hometown of Philadelphia, PA, education, sports, public relations, and anything else that confirms my steadfast belief that we're going to Hell in a handbasket. We'll expose the policies, pundits, paid-off politicians, and complicit media conspirators who make daily contributions to the fall of civilization, and civility.

Grab some coffee, grit your teeth, and get ready to shake your head ruefully. It's the Apocalype. It's Armageddon. The Barbarians are at the gates, and we're all too busy playing with our cell phones and IPods, or distracted by spinning car rims and reality television.

If it's truly the fall of Western Civilization, we might as well have fun on the way out.
