I just wanted to say thanks again to the sponsors of IMAO. Of course, you’ve probably seen the banner up top for the calendar by G. Gordon Liddy. It’s got women and guns; what else do you need?
Also check out Poplish on the sidebar. It’s a neat idea about getting paid for writing, and the FAQ is entertaining.
Also, I’m a big supporter of Netflix (check the link under the ad on the sidebar for what I have to say). If it’s on DVD, they have it – even the obscure foreign films with blind samurai in them. And there is never any wait for me on getting the new releases either. I get $9 buck if you click through my link and sign up for a free two week trial, so give them a look see.
There is, of course, my Amazon.com sidebar. If you’re planning on shopping at Amazon anyway (which is a good way to beat the holiday crowds), click through the ad on my page and I’ll get a percentage of everything you spend. It’s a nice way of saying thanks to me, your favorite Frank J., without costing you anything extra.
One more plug. Lars Walker was nice enough yesterday to talk to my writing group (in which I am continuing to work on my novel). He had previously sent me Wolf Time and The Year of the Warrior. I haven’t had a chance to read them yet because of my busy schedule, but I plan to this holiday and then have a literary review so I’ll seem edu-mo-cated. Anyway, I’ve heard from others his writing is great and he just released a new book this month, Blood and Judgment. Also, he reads this site, so he has to be a genius.
Oh, and I have a t-shirt for sale too. Order now so you’ll get it before Christmas!

Bite-Sized Wisdom: En-Gore-sment, Bombing Other Countries for Our Own Good, Mutant Pets, and I Am the Last Samurai
- Al Gore Endorses Howard Dean; Women, Minorities, Joe Liberman Hit Hardest
- Al Gore is going to endorse Howard Dean. “According to the analysis of my sensors, Howard Dean is the best candidate,” Gore-Bot said. He then added, “Destroy! Destroy!” while flailing his arms widely.
- North Korea says they’ll put a freeze on its nuclear weapons program if we take them off the list of terrorist supporting nation and provide fuel aid. I say we retain our usual “Do as we say or we’ll kill you” stance.
- Instrument data showed that radiation on Mars in “unlikely” to be fatal to a human. So who wants to test it out? Show of hands?
- You know that song from the South Park movie “Blame Canada”? I was thinking, wouldn’t that would be an interesting idea to employ right after 9/11. We get a terrorist attack, we bomb Canada. It doesn’t matter if they are responsible; if they know they’ll get bombed by us if there is a terrorist attack, then they’ll make it job number one to protect us from terrorism. In the same vein, we could maybe bomb France if our economy has a downturn, making it their interest to make sure we’re always in prosperity. America is a big and important country, so I think it’s a great idea to have other countries handle some of our problems for us. We can call this “Delegation Through Bombing”.
- A poll shows that teenagers are more conservative than their parents. “I’m going to pray in school and not abort my baby, and I don’t care what my parents say,” declares some teenage punk. Teenagers!
- Bio-engineered pets are now on sale (except for California, which usually likes anything freakish). Right now, it’s just neon zebra-fish of which the chance of them overtaking humanity is relatively small, but, if we continue on with this pet-engineering, we’ll soon have elephants the size of dogs, gerbils the size of bears, and dogs the size of other dogs that they normally wouldn’t be the size of. It’s crazy!
- Actually, I’d still rather have a regular ‘ole dog than a dog-size elephant. Actually, I’d have my dog chase the little elephant. “Run, you long-nosed freak! Run as fast as your stubby little legs can carry you! Ha ha ha!”
- In monkey news, monkeys are lobbying to be bioengineered next. They want to be super-intelligent, shoot lasers out their eyes, and be able to stare at someone and cause his head to explode just like a Scanner. They say they’ll only use these powers to be more cute and cuddly, but I don’t trust them!
- BTW, buy my t-shirt. It should be out any day. You need to wear one so people will know you are an IMAO fan and not an Eschaton fan.
- The Secret Service is going to interview Eminem for a song in which he allegedly wishes the president dead. Eminem, please don’t kill the president; kids look up to you.
- I saw The Last Samurai over the weekend (and on a digital projector, too) and it was a great movie. It had lots of authentic samurai action plus a random ninja attack. The only good movie quality it lacked was female frontal nudity. I give it four stars out of five.
- That’s enough wisdom for now. Remember to drink your milk and stay in school.
