The only thing that makes this Rolling Stone fabrication a journalistic outlier is the fact they were caught.

I suppose if I didn’t know what a law was, I’d be in favor of more of them too.

Doctor … NO!!!
I cannot believe what I just read. You know the whole world is going to hell in a hand basket. But, at least there are simple little diversions that help us cope. One of mine is Doctor Who.
Now, whenever I’m frustrated at the world, and I want to watch some silly British science fiction TV show, I have each and every episode of Doctor Who — from William Hartnell’s First Doctor to Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor — on a computer, ready to watch on the TV. Nothing can stop that.
Except what I read just now. That boy band, One Direction, will be guest starring on the show during the new season. (Tip: Peter Capaldi)
I’m not pleased. I’m not the only one.
If only there was a way to go back in time and change this…
Where’s Harvey?
Anybody seen Harvey?
I was looking for him, but can’t find him anywhere.
He wasn’t at his desk.
Went down to the break room, but nobody there had seen him.
I checked with the secretary, but it seemed as if she didn’t know who Harvey was.
I decided to check here on the blog and see if there was anything that explained where he is. But, my phone isn’t the best for that.
Anyway, I can’t find Harvey. Have any of you seen him? It’s after 12:00 and I need to borrow some money to get lunch.
Obama in Iran
If you are wondering why Obama has managed to negotiate a deal with Iran that doesn’t make much sense, well, here are some other things Obama did during the negotiations that didn’t make much sense either:
- Obama gifted President Rouhani with a honey-baked ham and a case of bourbon.
- When introduced to the Ayatollah, Obama exclaimed, “You’re not the real Santa,” and began tugging on his beard.
- He kept assuring the Iranians that if they liked their centrifuges they could keep their centrifuges, only he wasn’t lying this time.
- He called the receptionist at his hotel front desk to complain that there wasn’t a free Gideon Bible in his room and that he couldn’t understand the book that was in the drawer of his nightstand because it was written in squiggly and could he please get another one because he accidentally started this one on fire but it was okay because he also accidentally dropped it in the toilet after attempts to put out the flames with spit and urine failed.
- He presented President Rouhani with a novelty button with a caption that was supposed to read “Reset” in Arabic. However, due to a translation error, the caption actually read: “What? You expect me to believe that ham, bacon and pork chops all come from the same magical animal?”
- He kept asking the Egyptian delegate to explain to him how the Egyptian cotton industry could thrive without slavery and mentioning that he had a lot of unemployed honkies he could sell him on the cheap.
- As he was settling down in President Rouhani’s private jet, he suddenly yelled, “Wanna see some mother huggin’ snakes on this mother huggin’ plane?” Then he threw down his staff, looked confused when nothing happened and then began mumbling something about that being the last time he ever believed something a Bush told him.
- He kept telling everyone that for Lent he had given up Christianity.
- He was heard whispering to President Rouhani, “You know, since all these women look alike clad in burkas, it would be easy to accidentally take the wrong ones home with us. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more).”
- He was overheard arguing with the Customs Agent. “It’s an honest mistake. With all I hear about people constantly getting stoned in this country, I thought it was obligatory that I bring my own pot and heroin.”
- For days he refused to entreat with anyone but Marduk.
- He began every speech by quoting John 3:12.
- During lunch he was heard asking the Egyptian delegate, “You can be straight with me. Do you ever regret letting those people go?”
Random Thoughts: Reviews, Religious View, and Force
Getting nostalgic for when the left attacked marriage as an outdated institution instead of holding it up as the most important right ever.
While we have the image in our heads of large, lumbering dinosaurs, most weren’t very large at all. The majority were microscopic.
Been following reviews for my novel Superego on a number of different sites. It’s done best on Amazon – 4.7.
Amazon has some rating selection bias since you have to write a review to rate, so I think people who love or hate it most motivated.
Superego has done well on Goodreads. Not as familiar with the site, but don’t have to write review to rate.
The most ratings for Superego are on Audible.com. Also, the only two negative ratings.
Actually, I consider 3-stars a negative rating. That’s two whole stars of not liking it.
Anyway, on Audible, you have to own the book under Audible to rate it, but you don’t have to write a review.
I wouldn’t blame the narrator. I think he did a great job and got the tone right (and has been rated high in the reviews).
The only one star review (on Audible) wrote a review, and it’s pretty easy to dismiss him as crazy.
This is all very interesting. I’m used to instant feedback, but a novel is years to getting back what people think about it.
I’m really happy any read or enjoyed it at all, and I’m looking forward to getting out my next novel which I’m finishing up now.
Oh, and for everyone who’s enjoyed Superego so far, I’m working on a cool new project for it…
And a sequel to Superego is planned. Just need to finish up a couple other books first.
Once I got past the Yahoo Screen streaming issues, I’ve been absolutely loving the new episodes of Community.
Community has taken such a beating through the years (cast changes, losing show runner, cancellation), yet it still keeps finding its center.
We’re not taking religion out of marriage. We’re asking government to enforce one religious view over another.
If you believe in any parameters about marriage, you have a religious view on marriage. Non-religious view is “what the hell is marriage?”
That’s why current path we’re on is absolute nonsense (especially from libertarian perspective) and a recipe for continued conflict.
It’s like asking the government decide what constitutes a proper baptism and requiring others to participate.
Worth repeating: if you support the idea of the government defining what a marriage is, you’re a bad libertarian.
Bad, libertarian. Bad. *rolls up Constitution and hits libertarian on the nose*
Who wants a science fiction award given in honor of Hugo Chavez?
The SJWs attract all the craven people these days because you get to blame your lack of compassion on others.
“Love is love” is a really inane argument about marriage. For one, you should love lots of people, but you don’t marry them all.
And to say marriage should have anything to do with love is taking a religious view about it, and if the floor is open to religious views…
Another thing that should be obvious: If you’re not for plural marriages, then you place some value on the Christian view on marriage.
I’m usually libertarian, but I think you should have to submit a form proving extreme need before making a movie longer than 90 minutes.
The movie Lucy had too much gobbledygook for me. Was action movie with a 2001: A Space Odyssey ending.
I can put up with bad science and flighty philosophy if there was more tension and cool action sequences. #Lucy
Had pictures of me taking from various angles while making different expressions. Been a lot of new experiences this year.
Everyone should be reading Superego right now. What else could you be doing that is possibly more important?
Does Sally Kohn think a cigarette tax is government force? Because I’m pretty sure a guy got strangled over that.
If we had to hold a gun to someone’s head every time we wanted to force someone to do something, our arms would get tired. So we made laws.
Even more insistent than a personal trainer is a little kid yelling, “Do it again!”
Better Call Saul season finale was weird. Like almost Buffy season 4 finale weird. Definitely on board for next season, though.
