"Bronsky's Dates With Death"

With the July/August issue of F&SF now off sale, I thought I'd draw your attention to the fact that my novelette was reprinted on www.suvudu.com. If you haven't already read it, this is your opportunity. If you like it, let your friends know. Thanks. Bronsky PAD

K'Daffy a Dead Duck

Anyone want to tell me if we should feel guilty over THIS guy being killed? PAD

TONIGHT! THE WORLD SERIES!

The thrills! The excitement! The match-up that everyone has been zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hmmm…

Herman Cain is a big advocate of the 9-9-9 taxation plan, as previously proposed in Sims4. And everyone knows that video games are tools of the Devil.

Well, apparently the anti-immigration lobby had it right

We've been hearing all this bitching about how we should build walls so that Mexicans couldn't come flooding into our country and take all the jobs. The left wing counter to this philosophy has always been that the only jobs they're taking are the ones that Americans didn't want in the first place. But now [...]

"The Cape Dripped Red" Part V (Conclusion)
