Baaaah! Woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. This usually leaves us feeling bitter and angry. Bastards.
Youngest Daughter is writing a space opera involving intergalactic alligators.
David Crosby was still alive? With our heart issues there's no way we're making it to 81. But he did. We're annoyed.
We've received some interesting ideas for a nuclear war short story comp, both here and via social media. You people know who you are. Naval themes abound. I nuked the Panama Canal right? I must have. There's probably room, nay, need for something Soviet, no? Soviet bomber flying around CONUS looking for something to nuke? Hmmm. Maybe Matt Jr. in 2000. Actually that's not a maybe. That has to happen.
What Will's Watching. Michael Malice has an interesting interview with Roger Stone. The interview is less about Trump and Stone's legal troubles and more about his career with Nixon, Reagan, etc etc. We strongly suggest reader(s) click over. Is Stone right? JFC if he is.
Reader(s) are no doubt aware of the internecine cat fight between Steven Crowder and The Daily Wire. These numbers getting tossed around, ten million here, ten million there. We remember when Crowder was making pithy videos for PJM. What the hell were we doing in the late 2000s? Kind of puts our little indy endeavor in perspective, and in our 50th year too. With just a nudge we could turn this post into a Thursday Downer. I'll do a daily Youtube show for a whole lot less than DW offered Crowder. Ben, call me!
The funny thing is, with magazine/news writing, I'm a freelancer. Usually I don't have anything down on paper. Not with the Ruskis, not with plenty of other mags. Usually they publish an article and send me the check or make the transfer. Sometimes there's a one-page contract. That contract guarantees right of first publication and puts a two-year embargo on publishing anywhere else. Heh, I sent a piece into Decision Games, didn't hear from them for years, put it in Israel at War, and then they published it. Figures.
Commercial break. A late 90's classic. Most 90's computer and business commercials were very new age and Zen. To this blog's knowledge, this is the first commercial to really capture the essence of the computerized office. Computers would make everything easier, they said. Lying bastards.
