“Bring Out Our Dead”
I stare daily into the Abyss. Usually over a cup of coffee.
I don’t want to. I wake every morning at 3:00 AM. I have been working as an assistant editor at Scifi.radio, while the real editor has been spending time with his family out of state.
I discovered working…
Just before all hell breaks loose.
Before I begin my work day and pretend nothing outside my door matters to my psychological well-being, I am reminded of the current bizarre behavior across my planet, which I would not be aware of except for the use of the internet:
- South American nations have thrown up their hands…
The White House’s First and Second Dog (Champ), weigh in on the “aggressive incident” earlier today.
I know what you heard. I know it sounds bad, especially if it’s made the news cycle. I am sure I will hear my name more in a day than I’ve had in my whole life. …
Happy Holidays. But what should that really mean?
Happy holidays. Given the sledgehammer to the nether region the year 2020 has been, I understand the cynicism. No, this won’t take long.
I just had a strange and wonderful thought.
Yes, I have lots of those but this one was special.
I don’t internally celebrate Christmas. This was not…
What Are We Doing About It?
Congress is letting people die.
Tell a friend.
Okay, so I’m the bad guy
for telling the truth.

Introducing the “Judicial Gambit”
A thought-experiment seeing where the conversation on the repeal of the 13th Amendment leads us…
It won’t be the first amendment they topple on their road to Nazi America, but it will certainly be the last. With the turning of the screws in the Supreme Court and the shoehorning of…
Time is the fire in which we all burn.
A slow fire, crackling around our bones, a sudden pop surprises us, a cornerstone of our lives suddenly gives way;
A beloved movie star, an aging parent, God forbid, a child, vulnerable without the scars, the temporal burns to warn them away from the vicissitudes of life.
Time, a morass…
Why Americans died needlessly of COVID-19 and why it’s likely to accelerate in the months ahead as we race to reopen the country.
Depending on where you live, the first wave may be ending for you. Statistically speaking the first wave will have ended when a state has no new infections for fourteen days. Not one state can say this has happened.
Surviving the first wave is not something to celebrate. You survived…
The mark of leadership is an understanding of sacrifice
If it is my duty to guide my sailors on their floating citadel at sea, then let me always consider them first. Without them, I lead a city of steel without a heart.
If it is a betrayal to err on the side of life, then let me be the…
A virus shares its concerns about humanity’s future
Can we talk for a moment?
I promise I won't take much of your time. Don't mind that scary graphic. My agent said I needed to get your attention.
