There is no knowing the Evil Eyebrow
I hate journalists sometimes. For example, something that caught my eye: “Gosh Darn! Cussing Banned in California Town” The headline purports that some sort of legal act was passed to assign punishment to swearing. That is the generally accepted definition of the word “ban” when it comes to governments. I read the article because I …

I confess that I was looking at the Texas primary from an extremely shallow point of view. My thought was, “Which would Texas Dems want least in the White House? A Black, or a Woman?” I figured that they would prefer a black man over a woman of any stripe, but obviously I was wrong. …
We finally got around to seeing the movie Sunshine”. In two words: It sucked. I wasted another two hours of my life on overblown trash. I’ve been looking forward to seeing this movie for 8 months and boy was I disappointed. The physics made no sense. The spaceship made no sense. The mission (even though …
Read this. Hmmmm… I question the legality of using a remote controlled robot to spray people with water who might be violating the law.
This is such an old draft, I’m not sure why I never finished it. I watched this movie in October. Alert readers may recall that I read the P.D. James novel, Children of Men, last summer. I didn’t like it. See the link for why. Now, I’ve finally gotten around to watching the Movie that …
I’m all for religious tolerance, at least as long as the religion in question isn’t trying to impose it’s crazy beliefs on others, but there are limits.

Republican Fred Thompson has dropped out of the race for the presidential nomination. Thank you, elvis! Oh, wait. He’s not one of the candidates who has seen a ufo. Nevertheless, it’s a good thing he’s gone. He represents the third least desirable president in the current mix (Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee being 2 and …
Other than the fact that the next book in the Harry Dresden series will be coming out in April which I’m very much looking forward to, there a novella being published that features Harry’s older brother Thomas. Here’s a quote that is entirely sweet: I’m not Harry Dresden. Harry’s a wizard. A genuine, honest-to-goodness wizard. …
South Carolina’s Republican primary was yesterday and I’m ecstatic that Huckabee lost. I’m less ecstatic that he came in second. Of all the viable Republican candidates, he’s the one I want to see nominated the least. Of all the front running candidates, I don’t really care who gets put up by the Democrats, and I …
