Why "Airy Persiflage"?

This duplicates entries in my journal, Funny the World, which I have been writing since March 2000. The reason for starting a mirror blog is for people who prefer to subscribe thru an rss feed.

The title is a quote from The Mikado, "Is this a time for airy persiflage?" (light banter).
