Theft of ‘air-time’……..
Rich Galen is back in fine form after his stint in Iraq! Here’s a link to his latest, as of Wednesday; unfortunately it will only be good for a day or two, but JFM will try to keep it working, as it changes upon publication of the next Mullings. The topic-du-jour is the blatant damning with faint praise and mealy-mouthed protestations of Democrats trying to climb on the “we loved Ronald Reagan…really we did” band-wagon, some 20+ years on, solely for political gain for their current candidate.
Ronald Reagan spoke the truth in a loud clear voice: no ambiguities, no braggadocio, no empty promises, just statement of purpose and goals.
What the hell is wrong with clear straight-forward declarative sentences. Flowery effusive oratory may sound grand on the campaign trail, but has NO place in governance. All those who look down on President Bush’s manner of speaking merely show their own lack of clarity and understanding, a wish for style, not substance. Simplicity does not mean stupidity; far better, it indicates a depth of comprehension that is well considered and well defined. And apparently above and beyond the capacity to understand of those who attempt to deride that easy ability to connect with the electorate.

Nickolaus Pacione has written the following kind words about my writings over at The Temple of Dagon:
I read this guys work on Shoggoth.net and knew right away I was going to be hooked to his work. He is a talented writer and the stories that were picked for the website represented his talentes well. I knew about him and his work on authorsDen but I could not get a hold of him until now when he started keeping his blog. Andrew take a bow man, you earned it with your approach to the Mythos. It is not since Lovecraft that someone was able to belt off that kind of horror.
It’s nice to see this sort of praise for my Mythos writing. Any writer appreciates knowing that people like his work. I am humbled by such glowing praise. This is especially nice considering that Arkham House is sniffing around the site looking at its contents and contributors.
Coincidentally I am writing the latest Sage of Wales tale this week.
6 commentsA reminder: UK populace want referendum on EU Constitution
A YouGov poll has found Britons overwhelmingly in favour of a referendum on the final version of the EU Constitution. Alas, early today a government minister told those who responded positively to get knotted. He actually said the referendum was “not worth the waste of time or money.”

The latest craze in London seems to be mobile clubbing. The concept is similar to flash mobs, but is more individualistic. In short, you show up to the time and place, dance by yourself to your own music, and leave when it’s over. The organisers claim to be getting quite a few people to show up to these events.

Now that Schuie has proven himself king of F1, why doesn’t he try NASCAR? There are a few F1 drivers who came out of their ranks. Let’s see how Michael does at Darlington and Daytona. Wonder how the boys in NASCAR would take to the Ferrari driver.
