There'll Be Some Changes Made

With the upcoming release next week of Good Day in Hell, there'll be some changes to this blog and, hopefully, to my author website. Stay tuned...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

To hell with cheap draft beer with green food coloring. In a just world, I'd be spending the day sipping Jameson's, chasing it with Harp, and reading Ken Bruen while listening to Van Morrison and the Chieftans. Alas, the Real World intrudes....so that'll have to wait 'till this evening.

However you celebrate it, enjoy.

Happy Birthday, David Terrenoire!

To a great writer, a generous friend, and a boon drinking companion...

Happy Birthday! And many happy returns!

If you haven't yet read David's book, Beneath a Panamanian Moon...you are, I'm sad to say, unutterably lame.

But this can be remedied. Buy now.

Stop! Or the Vice President Will Shoot!

The Calgary Sun : "LAS VEGAS -- A minor-league affiliate of the Calgary Flames plans to spoof U.S. vice-president Dick Cheney's recent hunting mishap by handing out orange hunting vests with the words: 'Don't Shoot, I'm Human.'"

Heh. What I've really enjoyed about this whole thing is the sustained attack of self-righteousness the Bush Cult is having over the fact that people are still laughing about the Vice President of the United States shooting a man in the face.

"This isn't a story! It was just an accident! How could you be so cruel! Liberal media! Liberal Media! RAAWK!"

Face it: if Al Gore had shot someone on a hunting trip, there'd still be a Congressional investigation going on. As it is, all you have to deal with is jokes. Grow up, will ya?

Thank You, Jesus

'Creative plumbing' delivers beer: A woman in Norway said she thought she was in heaven when she turned on the kitchen tap to find a plentiful supply of beer.

Unfortunately, it was discovered to be a mere plumbing error and corrected all too soon.
