I'm a recent inductee to the Neil Gaiman admiration society, joining after watching the movie and reading the book "Stardust." After finishing Stardust, I dove into "Neverwhere," a story that takes place in London Above and London Below. London Above is what you see on the telly, movies, etc. London Below is an alternate reality […]
If it weren't for the fact that the mainstream media storyline is that the burning of fossil fuels is causing the destruction of the planet, then this would likely have led last month's evening newscasts. America is sitting on top of a super massive 200 billion barrel Oil Field that could potentially make America Energy […]
This probably shouldn't sway anyone one way or another when it comes to who you vote for come November, but it says something about the silliness of various Congressional resolutions honoring this day or that day and this thing or the other thing.
