Faith and hope and elbow grease

January 3, 2009 | 3 Comments

I’m a permablogger over at Publishing Renaissance (for those of you who don’t know). I’m alternating Thursdays, starting January 1 (yeah, I know, it was 2 days ago). And it’s so cool to be kicking off Publishing Renaissance’s year.
Lately, I’ve been around some blogs that are extraordinarily kinda negative and I notice it [...]

Viral money-and-politics rant

December 14, 2008 | 17 Comments

In case anybody missed it, I’m a Libertarian. Now, RJ Keller got me started and of course, it doesn’t take much to push me over the edge some days.

Again.
So I’m looking through my stats and come upon the search phrase, “is there a correlation between mormons and vampires.”

Abolish marriage

October 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment

“Marriage” is an ancient artificial construct that, in modern US society with no property rights attached to the female (i.e., dowry), has no real place.
As I said on chosha’s blog A Little East of Reality, what’s going on with California’s Prop 8 and the LDS church’s involvement with that, is one of defining the term. [...]

Holding my nose to vote. Again.

September 30, 2008 | 3 Comments

McCain hasn’t been my favorite person in the world for going on about ten years now, so I was looking at McCain or Staying Home or The Libertarian Dude. It’d be the first time I’ve not at least voted against The Other Guy (like I have since, oh, King George I–bastid) and I sure [...]
