After a while, it is necessary to reflect on why one keeps batting out these missives, especially since so few seem to care. Honestly, if a couple dozen people stop by here, then it’s a busy day. While it hasn’t hurt my career at all, it surely hasn’t helped it, either. So why keep doing [...]
Marvel Comics used to publish a comic called “What if…” that I loved. The basic premise was that they took a well-known Marvel story line and twisted it in some manner. Or they took a hero from one part/time of their fantasy multiverse and paired them with someone from another part/time. So I’m going to [...]

I don’t generally have a problem with conservatives. It’s when they start talking about public policy that I have a problem. Like this example: Obama laughs off the charge of socialist behavior — and to be fair, socialism isn’t the precise term to affix to his ideas. It’s more like Robin Hood economics. On a [...]
Wired says I’m dead. I just checked my pulse, though, and I seem to be okay. Writing a weblog today isn’t the bright idea it was four years ago. The blogosphere, once a freshwater oasis of folksy self-expression and clever thought, has been flooded by a tsunami of paid bilge. Cut-rate journalists and underground marketing [...]
From my Twitter homepage, I’m going jumping around to see what I can see. Here goes: Jump 1: Sistertalk was the last tweet – she’s getting ready to live-blog the debate (brave girl – I can’t stand to watch).
