I'm glad to see that the Republican Party is the party of law and order. Blue lives matter! (That's sarcasm, for those unclear.)

Over the weekend, I looked at Sidney "Release the Kraken" Powell's lawsuits attempting to reverse the Georgia and Michigan elections. They are both Rivers of Word Salad, and show that the authors are fully under the thrall of the Brain Eaters.

I am opposed to giving stupid people guns. Over the weekend, a pair of wealthy lawyers became yet another set of poster children for this premise. The pair of them came out of their house with guns to "protect" said house from a mob. Thoughts:

I'm a bit cranky today, so be warned. I've watched our President go to two summits in as many weeks. In the first summit, he insults our closest allies and refuses to sign a joint statement with them. In the second summit, he goes and glad-hands a hereditary dictator, gets played like a piano, and declares victory. Thoughts ( Read more... )

Comes news today that the author John C. Wright has penned and published a novel entitled Superluminary: The Space Vampires. Mr. Wright is better known here as the proprietor of the blog I refer to as Wrights' House of Wrong. He's also, to quote Eric Flint, a member of the Saudi School of prose in which, "no noun may go out in public unless she ( Read more... )
