It will help you keep an audience when you’ve got one. That’s not what this post at Book Designer starts to say, but that’s what they end up concluding. The lede is buried here: Your key to more followers isn’t posting more frequently or having more conversations. Nor is it constantly checking your feeds to… Read More Authors: Social Media Will Not Bring You an Audience.
I dream of a world where ever killing doesn’t have to be run through the loud banalities of our politics. Especially as one of the killers was white. As if that matters. Which apparently it does.
Is there anything lamer than having two “Sorry I no blog” posts in a row? But I seriously had a good reason. Seriously. Anyhoo, while I prep for the school year, here’s some nonsense. First my first feedback on Solar System Blues from someone who doesn’t know me and is therefore under no pressure to… Read More Content? Fie Upon Your “Content”
I blame Anthony Weiner. Sure, it could be the usual Summer Doldrums, wherein the sunshine and long, lazy nights make the idea of venting on the Internet seem dull puerile. And there’s a sting possibility that Crusader Kings has been eating into my blogging time. But I prefer to think that the prospect of commenting… Read More Severe Shortage of Craps to Give Ending

Anthony Weiner has today boasted today that ‘people who know me are still going to vote for me’ as he headed back out on the campaign trail in Manhattan, in defiance of revelations about explicit messages and photos that he sent to a 23-year-old political activist a year after… Read More There’s Stupid, and Then There’s Anthony Wiener…
I was gone all weekend sans internet, so I’m just glomming onto this now. I am without words. See, if that had happened last December, I might have bought into all that Mayan Prophecy horse-puckers. I mean, what’s next?
You have been warned. If I was a cynical man, I’d suspect that whatever intern at NSTB “confirmed” this decided that it was too funny NOT to go on the air. In any case, if you’re like me, you will laugh, and then despise yourself for laughing. What makes it extra funny is the serious… Read More Everyone who clicks on this video is going to Hell
The terrorized wives of convicted lefty terrorists are less victimy than the hypothetical pregnant women who just need nine-month abortions. I mean, does Tetyuau Kimberlin even have cute pink shoes like Wendy Davis?
A while back, I jumped off an article about one of the world’s remaining functional monarchies, that of Morocco, to an argument that survival was the key to success for a monarch. I used the Capetians as an example. Today I’m going to unsay a little of that, and use as an example a dynasty… Read More Medieval Dynastic Fail: The Normans
150 years ago, today, my great-great-great-grand-uncle, Dallas Patrick, a private in 11th Pennsylvania Reserve Infantry (40th Volunteers), was taking part in the largest land battle ever to take place on the North American continent. I’ve been to Gettysburg on several occasions, and some part of me would kind of like to be there to see… Read More The Myths of Gettysburg
