One of the legacies of President George W. Bush is his quotability. He has a natural wit, and he hired great speech writers. The phrase that instantly and permanently entered my memory banks is from a speech that Bush gave to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP, pronounced “N-Double-A-C-P”) at their…
Mike Albee is THIS stupid
March 8, 2014
Today I’ve spent hours un-fucking my Website. Thanks to the fraud Mike Albee, I’m having to rewrite every single SEO title of every post, over 270 in all. I’ve also had to rewrite the meta descriptions that Mike rewrote without telling me. I’ll post one later so you can laugh at him. Before I prove…
Some victims are worth more than others
February 13, 2014
I wrote yesterday about how I can’t get anyone interested in how Mike Albee and Lura Dold of Sandpiper Publicity bilked me of $40,000 by exploiting the suicides of my parents. It’s a combination of factors, but the most decisive is that I’m not the right kind of victim. This bias permeates journalism all over…
At least I’m not confused
September 29, 2013
I have tons and tons and tons of problems. If I sat down with you to tell you what’s wrong with me, we’d be there for days. And you’d end up like that poor cat in the videos, the one with its jaw hanging open. You’d marvel that I didn’t just put an end to…

September 26, 2013

As a result of that experience, I’ve read everything I can about terrorism. It turns out that the terrorists who attacked the…
What they’re feeling in Westgate Mall
September 22, 2013
On December 28, 1995, a gunman tried to murder Tim and me at our bookstore in Norwalk, California. He was dressed all in black—including a heavy flak vest and balaclava—and he carried a TEC-9 semiautomatic pistol with a barrel extension. I drew it as part of my banishment of the incident. Tim and I were…
On Forgiveness versus Revenge
September 21, 2013
I love the movie Murphy’s War, even though I hate the premise. Peter O’Toole plays Murphy, the only survivor of a British naval ship that a German U-boat sinks in the Orinoco River, probably in Venezuela. Murphy is the sole survivor because the Germans deliberately, methodically, and calmly kill all the sailors who go into…
