POTATO MOON, Part 61: “Follow the Gin-gold Brick Road” by Ellen Fleischer

And seize them the guards did. The companions were boldly seized as no man--no woman--and no small furry creature from Alpha Centauri--had ever been seized before. Then they were marched down a dark desert highway.

The cool wind was in their hair as the warm smell of colitas rose up through ...

POTATO MOON, Chapter 60: “A Vole New World” by MIchael Pullman

“Cor,” said the pseudo-British Vole. “You ain't half baked, Guv.” He nibbled again at the Potato Goddess's feet, which greatly annoyed her while also slightly turning her on.

“Stop that!” she shouted. “I did not construct a flaky, tender mortal form, swathed in butter, sour cream, and just a little bit ...

POTATO MOON, Part 59 by Andy Bolt

But Woeisme failed to notice her, already caught up in selecting her new true love.  For Fig had been dead for nearly thirty seconds.  Her heart and an attention span more in line with small insects or large rocks were insisting that she heroically find the strength to move on, ...

Pretty Fly For a Black Guy (or, Barack Obama Gets Some Buzz)

I feel frustrated because I haven't had the chance to post my thoughts on Barack Obama going Mr. Miyagi on a White House fly during a TV interview.

The first thing that occurred to me is, Wow.  Great reflexes.

POTATO MOON, Part 58: “Righteous Buttery Justice Will Rain Down Upon Us All,” by Emily S. Whitten

“Great,” grinned Artie.  He ran a ...

Wow, and I Thought Bush V. Gore Was a Mess

The photos coming in from Iran with the country erupting over the likely theft of the presidential election are just horrifying.

What concerns me is that President Ahambreakingbad might simply decide to dispose of Mousavi and be done with it. On the other hand, how potent would Mousavi ...

POTATO MOON, Part 57: “If This is Love, Why Do My Teeth Hurt?” by Peter S. Svensson

Keeping the timeline unsullied sucks, thought the man who claimed the
title of Doctor. What was supposed to be a romp through the centuries
with his assistant, Captain Jacque Harness, had turned into actual
work, what with having to put Dan Quayle back into his proper place in
the timestream and wiping his memories, ...

Cowboy Pete Stops and Smells the Daisies

I am so desperately going to miss "Pushing Daisies."

I still remember sitting at dinner with Len Wein during the San Diego con a couple years ago and he was describing this new series he'd just seen the pilot for. He couldn't be effusive enough about it. ...
