On the Swine Flu

http://www.atomicnerds.com/?p=2182 This is the best summary I’ve seen so far. Atomic Nerds breaks down why we probably shouldn’t start a massive freak out just yet. That said, it is still one more excuse for me to hurry up and move to the country where I can build my End of the World Bunkerplex.

Russian professor smokes crack

Okay, there is this professor in Russia who has a theory about how America is going to collapse into a civil war and then break into several different groups. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html Okay, that’s not the part I’ve got an issue with, because I’ve already told my Texan friends to scout me out some good real estate [...]

Good riddance to the Great White Rino.

Well, Arlen Specter finally made it official and changed from an R to a D. Since he’s been voting Democrat for years, it is about friggin’ time. The news is portraying this as some massive blow to the Republicans. Well, anybody who’s paid any attention to Arlen knows that he could absolutely never be counted [...]

Torture

Recently there has been a big splash in the news about the possibility of legal prosecution against the Bush administration attorneys that wrote the memos concerning what is and is not legally torture. Like most of the recent bread and circuses coming out of Washington, this is just more useless garbage to keep us distracted, [...]

Writing Update. I got the page proofs for MHI!

I got the page proofs for MHI today.  I’m finally able to see what it is going to look like in the Baen format.   I was right, and it isn’t going to be in the 300 page range like it was listed on Amazon. It is going to be fatter. Which is good, because I [...]

Happy Earth Day!

At least, I think that today is Earth Day. You know how it is, the big holidays always sneak up on you. Well, either way, I’m celebrating. I threw a big can of used motor oil into the garbage and tonight I’m going to make a nice styrafoam bonfire!  Earth Day is a special time [...]

Math Time Fun!

You all may know me as a writer or gun-monger, but by day, I am an accountant. I don’t post about finance much on my blog, because doing accounting is kind of boring, and watching somebody else doing accounting is worse. But today we will have some math time fun! There are a lot of [...]

Obama in Mexico – It is all our gun’s fault.

Here is an article from the Washington Times. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/17/obama-blames-us-guns-in-mexico/ There is some very interesting stuff in there.  For example, Obama is pulling out that figure that 90% of the guns used in Mexican crime come from the US. This has been trotted out several times now by the administration. It seems like this is one [...]

God bless Texas

I’m finally back from my Texas trip. I was only there for a few days, and most of that was filled with business meetings and training. I wish I would have had more time. I know a ton of people in Texas, and was only able to visit one of my friends. If I had [...]

The San Antonio Tea Party

I was in San Antonio for business today. Once I got out of training I went over to the Alamo and was there for the big San Antonio Tea Party. There were thousands of people around the Alamo. It was the most peaceful, polite, and cordial group of political protestors I’ve ever seen.  If you [...]
