“Can Primatene Mist contribute to airway remodeling?” I asked the nurse. She looked horrified by my question. “You’re not using Primatene are you?” she asked. I shook my head. There’s no need for me to use Primatene. I have pretty good health insurance through my employer, and I happen to live in California, where it [...]

Is it just me, or has the extreme end of the right wing jumped off the edge of reason and landed gleefully into a pit of pure batshit insane? Between Glenn Beck’s bursting into tears at the very mention of America and Michelle Bachman’s deliberate misinterpretation of a new community service program as a sort [...]

Iowa court says gay marriage ban unconstitutional It’s funny, because these things usually start out in California and move east. But this time California went stupid and decided that majority rule was enough to strike down something that the state’s Supreme Court had ruled was a right protected by the state’s Constitution, an action that [...]

To my way of thinking, this is ludicrous. I’ve stated before, and I’ll state again, that in a [...]

I took a quick break from writing my zombie story to browse the web, and saw this picture of John McCain: It seriously looks like McCain is about to chow down on a helpless baby. We seriously need to vote for Barack Obama. I, for one, do not relish the idea of cannibalistic zombies in [...]

Looking at the current Presidential election, I can’t help thinking of parallels with the 1980 Presidential election.

First of all, a message from Governor Palin to the AIP: Now, a little bit of history: Vogler’s greatest moment of glory was to be his 1993 appearance before the United Nations to denounce United States “tyranny†before the entire world and to demand Alaska’s freedom. The Alaska secessionist had persuaded the government of Iran [...]
