  MSN Encarta - Mexican War
The westward migration of U.S. citizens was encouraged by Manifest Destiny, a belief that territorial expansion by the United States was both inevitable and divinely ordained.
Those who believed in Manifest Destiny also believed that the culture of the United States was superior to other cultures and that republican forms of government and democracy should be expanded in order to “civilize” other peoples.
Although Manifest Destiny was criticized by some people as blatantly racist, it enjoyed support among U.S. citizens and politicians in the mid- and late 1800s.

 Janus and the Northern Colossus, F. Valdés-Ugalde
Destiny and fate may be the appropriate words to summarize these two historical paths, representing the discrepancy between self-command and sovereign decision, on the one hand, and the oppressing burden of circumstances, on the other.
The Northern Colossus had established its final territorial boundaries to the south; Mexico and the United States entered a new stage in their relationship in which interaction would become a matter of everyday life.
The condition for its emergence is resistance to absorption by the Northern Colossus with all its spurious Masonic lodges, Protestant sects, and blondness.

 colossus
Colossus captured the fear of a very possible mistake in the computerized arsenal that both sides had and have.
While the shooting of Colossus: The Forbin Project was a technical nightmare -- see the accompanying article on the film itself -- Braeden didn't mind at all due to the nature of the set, and the fact that director Joseph Sargent, who comes from an acting background, ensured a nurturing set.
All it took was the box office failure of Colossus to fill the actor in on the other side of that particular equation.

The object is to get the composite out quickly to sac for 5 mana of all colors, to play the white bringer which can retrieve the golem every turn.
Because the mirror match has no instant speed removal (and the board tends to be light on artifacts), a Molder Slug cast after an opponent entwines T&N would definitely remove the Colossus in a reactive sort of manner.
Also, if the opponent drops double Colossus, at least it gets rid of one, which should hopefully buy enough time (and provide a large enough chump blocker) for another response to hit the table.

 The Chants of Old Heroes, Singing in our Ears by Steve Tompkins
It is one thing to be aware of “Cimmeria” as a Howard poem, and another to encounter its mournful and never-ending remembrance as a bleak gateway or overture to the Conan series.
Louinet describes the backdrop of “Black Colossus” as “an antique Assyria torn with rivalries between city-states,” and that is certainly accurate for the pocket-kingdoms overrun by Natohk’s hordes early in the story.
The contrast between Yara’s exquisitely calibrated and choreographed comeuppance in “The Tower of the Elephant” and Thugra Khotan’s perfunctory sendoff in “Black Colossus” highlights what a technical challenge it is to devise a suitable undoing for a quasi-omnipotent villain.

 Total Energy Records. The Master Plan [Dictators. Fleshtones, Waxing Poetics]
The energy in Colossus of Destiny proves I'd be sweating from head to toe, covered with beer, and probably arrested by the time it was all over.
Not to be confused with the German death metal supergroup Masterplan, this Master Plan is a garage rock powerhouse headed by two of the leading lights of the old school New York garage scene, Andy Shernoff of the Dictators and Keith Streng of the Fleshtones.
Fans of those two bands already have an excellent idea of what 'Colossus of Destiny' sounds like: strippeddown, nofrills rock and roll is the order of the day, but without the Dictators' occasional feints towards heavy metal and the soul fixation of the Fleshtones.

 Mr. Lif :: Enters the Colossus :: Def Jux
Merriam-Webster defines a "colossus" as a statue of gigantic size and proportion, from the Greek kolossos.
The scope of hip-hop as a musical genre and culture could in fact be called colossal in scope - having a broader reach and influence in the 21st century than at any time in it's past; having more artists competing to have their musical vision heard than at any time in recent memory.
In such a broad and competitive arena there's no time for a weak entrance - a mic-wielding hip-hop warrior must be as bold as the Roman gladiator who stares down the emperor and loudly declares his destiny to win.

This album was originally meant to make up part four of the terrific 'Crybaby'/'Bootlicker'/'Maggot' trilogy, but the label bottled it, & so 'Colossus Of Destiny' gained a solo release.
Word has it that the gig was so loud, people had to physically get out of the way of the barrage of noise, but the mix presented here is much easier on the ears.
Basically, 'Colossus Of Destiny' is one hour-long noise 'piece', with a fast & furious stab at 'Eye Flys' (from 'Gluey Porch Treatments') as a coda.

The switch to Slagworm over Colossus prevents them from using Grab the Reins and gives you a big finisher that you can cast without Cloudpost if necessary.
I think the most stable wincombo is fetching Colossus and A fl Bringer, which makes me able to tutor for fireball on start of next turn to do huge dmg while also striking him with 16 worth of trample.
I feel 2 slagwurms in the main is the right choice, since it costs 7 which is castable with the posts, and everything but fl has a hard time stopping him.

Colossus of Destiny is an assorted bag of originals and unusual covers, with Andy, Keith and Paul penning several nostalgic numbers along the way.
Think again, foolish one; you're listening to some of the very fellows who brought garage rock back onto the scene in the first place.
Resistance really is futile, so get thee to the local record shop, grab your copy of Colossus, and while you're at it, don't forget to pick up The Dictators Go Girl Crazy and The Fleshtones' Roman Gods ; they'll give you a new perspective on a genre that's spanned several decades.
