Liberty Con AAR

Sorry for the very weird and spacey posting, but as you’ve probably gathered we’ve been at Liberty con in Chattanooga TN.

This year was very weird for us, because we didn’t know if we’d be able to go at all. We had a big family thing in the second week of June, which took about a week, came home for five days and I found I needed to rest, a lot. And then we went to LC.

However, until late May we didn’t know when the family thing in June was. So, we kept the liberty con people up in the...

Winning The Dragon a Blast From the Past from September 2022

*So I meant to write a post, but the minute we got in the car, the keyboard went weird again. Might be how its held in the car, or something to do with power supply. But since I cant do apostrophes or quotes without parking my finger on the key and pushing a million times, I cant really write in the car. Anyway, I stumbled on this last week, and I’d forgotten I even wrote it. So forgive me for reposting. SAH*

“Sir,” his servant said, bowing very properly. “Your car is waiting.

Some Kind of Post Later Today

Promo post tomorrow. It’s difficult to do on the laptop, and impossible on the laptop while driving, which is when I CAN do it.

So possess your souls in patience.

I’ll be Bach.

John Lennon’s Tooth and The Machinery of Fate A Blast from the Past April 2014

John Lennon’s Tooth and The Machinery of Fate A Blast from the Past April 2014

It is a given fact that you guys like to disturb me. I don’t know why that is. I’d take it for granted that, in fact, life disturbs me enough. Take taxes, for instance — oh, wait. Los Federales already did. They have great need of money to eat it or something. Never mind.

Perhaps in an effort to distract me from running around the house repeating RAH’s dictum that you should be wary of strong drink: it might...

The Noble Bubbleheads

You guys know what I read as the pressure climbs, right? Yep, yep, Jane Austen fanfic. But what happens if the pressure climbs above that and I’m running on empty?

If you said “books about great lost civilizations” you get a prize. I’m not sure what the prize is, but it’s probably a booby prize. Anyway, so in the five days between two drives across the country, I fell into a series of “I totally know where Atlantis is” books.

And I ran into it. Head first.

Noble savages. The whole ...

Range PPE by David Bock

*We’re finalizing our preparations for LC. OBVIOUSLY we’re not leaving in the morning. (Work stuff. Not mine.) Anyway, for those of you making it to the range, this seems like an important post. I’ll try to write one tomorrow. Time not guaranteed, as we’ll be driving and sometimes connection is iffy. Same Friday. Anyway, stay safe. Practice responsible bang therapy. (Not that kind of bang, you sickos. Well, that kind of bang maybe too, but I don’t want to hear about it. Ew.) – SAH*

Before You Run

It never fails. Never. If a site is gaining popularity with the “to the right of Lenin” crowd, some expose, sometimes a lot of them come out explaining how they’re out to get us, it’s the most terrible thing ever and it’s a trap. And people run.

And this is the most stupid thing ever. Somewhere between a punishing sites that encourage or tolerate us, and doing the left’s bidding by allowing them to take over spaces by running before them like scared sheep.

For years now some of you — y...

Two Sides Of A Lie

When I was in highschool, back in pre-history (the 1970s were pretty barbaric!) the hotness in psychology and sociology and frankly in public discourse was Freudianism. It had been completely internalized by then, proceeding from the halls of academia to the popular imagination.

If I had a dime for every time I was told I only wrote poetry (or novels. And boy, were they wretched) because I was sublimating my sexual impulses, and how I’d be “normal” and well adjusted if I simply slept with...
