All hoppin’ mad about the NY terrorist trial? Don’t be so hasty…

Why Robert Jordan was a master…
Robert Jordan (RJ) was the author of the Wheel of Time series of fantasy books. I say “was”, of course, because he passed away last year after a fight with amyloidosis, which was immensely sad. It was sad both because … Continue reading

On Jury Duty and Motorcycles…

Suspected terrorists are able to buy guns…and I’m glad.
Link to the original article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31494385/ns/us_news-security/ Now, before you all start freaking out about how I want terrorists to buy guns, you need to re-read my post title. That is not what I said, nor is it how I feel. … Continue reading
