Bio
I'm a textbook Pisces. That should tell you just about everything about me. I'm an unpublished writer, pretty much like everyone else here except I specifically write fantasy novels. Politically I'm a Democratic Socialist living on the pubic mound of the Bible Belt. A Father, a Husband, and a perpetual Respondent to frivilous allegations I eek out a VERY modest living in the midst of religious zealotry and political small-mindedness. Send help.

American Arrogance, BP, and the Death of an Eco System

I am sitting here, just after dawn, in Panama City Beach, Florida and I'm looking out over the Gulf of Mexico.  I've been coming here all my life.  My family owns a timeshare condiminium here.  Every year, the second week of June, we're here... looking out over the same ocean... only… Read full post »

Well, it's all over now.

With the election of Full Monty and the impending doom of health care reform the future is bleak.  At this point it's a near certainty that the Reich will gain control of the House and Senate in the mid term elections and Obama will continue to appease and grovel for the… Read full post »

Reviewing a conspiracy

I think I'm on to something: Salon is actively shielding their reviewer Stephanie Zacharek from criticism...

The worst movie reviewer of all time.

Looks like Salon is finally admitting that Stephanie Zacharek hates all movies.  They lock her letters threads within a couple of days.

I dare someone to go back through them all and count up how many movies she hates.  All genres, no bias towards actors or directors... she just hates movie… Read full post »

Coming to Terms: We Were Scrubs

(Before you read this let me warn you this is a post about gaming, video gaming.  In specific about Street Fighter IV.  No politics or sexism here, so for many of you it's not worth the read. )

Rape and my Incapacity to Understand

I've read a lot of people's personal experiences with rape on OS.  Now I've never been raped.  I've known people that were but it was always more of a date-rape scenario where everyone was drunk and resistance was either voiced meeky or not at all.  I've never personally known anyone w… Read full post »
