Pork Pork Porkety PORK!

I’ve been told that because of the state of economy, the government has to do SOMETHING!!!!
 
Well, apparently, that something is the largest pork bill in history. This thing is made of pig stacked on top of pig, sheathed in bacon, bristling with radioactive pork chops, and cemented together with mortar made of Spam and aerosol [...]

Okay, I’m not really familiar with Digg, but I just noticed a bunch of hits coming in for my posted sample chapter of MHI.

If I understand it right, if you like something, you Digg it, so that other people will see that it is cool. So basically it is to share the love.
Okay, so if [...]

Movie Review: Curse of El Charro

One advantage of being unemployed in a down economy, besides writing 80,000 words of your next novel in one month, is that you get to watch a lot of movies. (Oh, man, I need to find a job soon…) And as many of you know, I seek out anything B grade or lower, or with [...]

Wow, New York’s Gov didn’t pick a total communist. I’m SHOCKED.

Okay, so Hillary’s replacement is backed by the NRA and opposed by the bailout.  It looks like she’s a middle of the road Democrat. Color me surprised.

We’re entering strange times

The inauguration is finally over. Which is great, because I don’t think I could have taken much more of Obamathon ’08.  Every time I turn around, I get to hear somebody else talking about how awesome and historic this all is, even though when it gets down to the nuts and bolts of what Barack [...]

Haven’t posted as much lately – 50,000 words written in January

I’ve been on a roll.  Being a semi-unemployed writer guy does have a few advantages. As of yesterday I’ve written 50,000 words of my latest novel in January. It’s amazing how much you can get done when you’ve got actual time.
For entertainment I’ve been watching the DVD for the Showtime series Dexter. I’ve got to [...]

Now she’s going to be the person in charge of raping our energy policy.  “Climate Change” is a myth that is going [...]
