I found MrJames online last night, around, oh, midnight or so. Around six or so (Three, Oregon time), we gave up the story plotting. We put about two thirds of the book together in one marathon brain-storming session. We had run into a slight issue — “Well, if all this is going on, why wouldn’t [...]
Keith pretty much says everything there is to say on this issue. I don’t have anything to add. Shame on you, California.
Before we get too far, let me just preface this by saying I’m not sure how good a source I’m working with, here. Some of the phrases used in the article give me pause, particularly the phrase “Big Pharma”. I’m used to hearing that out of people who are about to go off on a [...]
If I’m understanding this correctly, a McCain campaign volunteer told reporters (or the cops, who told the reporters, whatever), that she went to an ATM, where she was attacked by a black man. Said black man noted the McCain bumper sticker on the volunteer’s car, and beat the shit out of her, including carving a [...]
I love to see this kind of thing. It indicates to me that our friendly neighborhood conservatives are getting a little panicked by the popularity of the Obama/Biden ticket. They’re attacking it any silly way they can.

Those [...]
So, I oopsed. Yeah, that 700 billion dollar bail out that passed? It didn’t pass. I plead lack of coffee. The House told the bail-out bill to go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut, and the stock market took a head dive, finishing up for the day 700+ points in the hole, and [...]
Wow. Shit week for McCain/Palin, huh? McCain suspends his campaign to go save the world from bad loans, leaving everyone else in America standing there saying — and I quote — “WTF, mate?” Seriously. I’ve been kicking this idea around in my head for days now, and I can’t figure out exactly what this was [...]
ne of the main arguments I hear a lot of creationists make is that “evolution is only a theory, it’s not fact”. Well, that is actually true. It’s the theory of evolution. The problem is that, in common vernacular, the language you and I use on the street everyday, “theory” means, roughly, a guess. That [...]
