My Two Cents: May 2006

http://whaven33884.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

The Future will soon be a thing of the Past. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Actually, it's a trilogy. I started writing the month after I graduated high school in 1979 (I was bored), and I hammered out a 42-page travesty on an old manual typewriter. Twenty-seven years later I am pleased and not a little proud to announce that the three books that grew out of that 42-page travesty is now completely published. Volume One, Fastoshi: Chronicles, came out in 2003;. Posted by Walt at 10:38 AM. Tuesday, May 30, 2006.

The Future will soon be a thing of the Past. Friday, March 31, 2006. It's been a year since Terri Schiavo died, and what have we learned? But that was not to be. After a while, you have to reconcile yourself to the fact that the person isn't coming back, and it's time to let her go. Thankfully the courts killed it. I had to explain that Florida had no assisted-suicide law, and doctors who aid suicides go to prison. 1 That everyone needs a living will. 2 That the Christian Right Death Cult needs to be dri...

The Future will soon be a thing of the Past. Wednesday, August 31, 2005. I was on my way to Der Job this morning and decided to put some money into my gas tank. What with the trouble in Louisiana, I figured it was sound economics to fill my tank now rather than face the higher prices that are surely coming. I stared at him, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Has that been confirmed? Sobering news, and an illustration of the reach of this disaster. Posted by Walt at 7:41 AM. Posted by Walt at 6:48 AM.

The Future will soon be a thing of the Past. Thursday, June 30, 2005. The Republicans like to shout from the rooftops that they are the "Party of Family Values." Well, they had a chance to put their money where their mouth was today in the House of Representatives. And it comes as no surprise that they failed the test. He was denied, since under current rules he had to wait three years between visits and it wasn't his turn yet. So much for the "family values" line. If another GOP political whore uses...

The Future will soon be a thing of the Past. Friday, February 24, 2006. Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves." - Eric Hoffer,. It's true, you know. Around the turn of the last century, we in America were filled with a sense of purpose, that we were special people and destined to be an example of What Could Be, based on self-reliance and free enterprise. Two World Wars and a Cold War later, that sense of self-reliance lay in tatters. Acting out of ...

The Future will soon be a thing of the Past. Sunday, April 30, 2006. According to sources, a roadside bomb went off near a convoy, and according to icasualties.org the US death toll as a result of Operation Bleeding Wound now stands at 2,400.

One doesn't find too many laughs on a Monday, so you have to take what comes your way and enjoy it. Take, for instance, this little gem:. A pastor in Waco, Texas was up to his hips in water as he prepared to do a baptism in front of about 800 people. Since he wanted to be heard, he reached for a microphone. Posted by Walt at 2:03 PM.

Hyphen Hate? When Amazon went to war against punctuation. | Graeme Reynolds's Blog

https://graemereynolds.wordpress.com/2014/12/14/hyphen-hate-when-amazon-went-to-war-against-punctuation

Graeme Reynolds's Blog. 8211;dark tales from a twisted mind–. When Amazon went to war against punctuation. This is a really strange blog post to have to write, simply because the situation is absurd. It would be comedic, really, if the situation was not costing me money and resulted in one of my best-selling books being unavailable in the run up to the busiest time of the year. Let me tell you a little story. The email was titled rather ominously as. That, I felt, should have been the end of the matter&#...
