PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES III

     We continue our hunt for the conspiracy theories which bedeviled the Presidents of the United States, following the same rules as before.  These have to be contemporary conspiracy theories accusing the Presidents of nefarious plans, not something made up by me or the Interwebs later, and they must be conspiracies which Mainstream Historians, byContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES III”

Dragonshelf and the Drover VI

     Bott shook his head and set one hand on a soft orange chair.  The Free Imperial State demanded three different licenses for permission to read, five to carry a book aboard your ship, and another, plus a series of tests, to own a book.  The licenses for what he was seeing right now wouldContinue reading “Dragonshelf and the Drover VI”

Up In the Air So Blue

     Those who have been checking this space for a while will recall our study of the men on postcards who keep on rowing even when their partner makes it difficult.  Looking over the postcard world recently, I realized that we had left out another role for the hardworking, helpful male.      These are theContinue reading “Up In the Air So Blue”

PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES, PART II

     Remember, as we return to our attempt to find a “conspiracy theory” about each of the Presidents of the United States, that we have two basic rules: the conspiracies must have been debunked by a majority of Mainstream Historians, and they can’t be something I or some other Interwebs rumor-monger made up recently.  WeContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES, PART II”

DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER v

     “Thousands of people!” she exclaimed.  “Their thoughts and trophies!  Oh no, they weren’t friends of yours, maybe; they wouldn’t agree with your every single word!”      “But….” Bott said again.      “But they had feet, too!  And you can’t burn their memories and dreams into nothing just because they aren’t what you like best!”Continue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER v”

Ladies of the Court

     I know you were yearning to see the next installment of my list of presidential conspiracies, but I didn’t plan to fill this space with that until we got through thirty or forty presidents.  Anyhow, I can’t quite get my head around the James Madison theory yet.  We’ll come back to the list nextContinue reading “Ladies of the Court”

Presidential Tall Tales, Part I

     Just got hit with a new one.  Some unknown conspiracy theorist just let me know that these phone calls about choosing my medical plan are NOT coming for ORDINARY robocallers.  No, no:: these are people prepared to alter the fabric of our country by moving (should you be unwise enough to use the wordContinue reading “Presidential Tall Tales, Part I”

DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER IV

    The slime devil towered over the slim diminutive woman; its roar shivered the metal plates in the walls of the room.  She looked up into huge red eyes, showing no fear.  Then she dippedher spoon not the shimmering gelatin dessert.  The Denebian did not fill her with terror, and she had been brought upContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER IV”

FICTION FRIDAY: Reassessment

     “What happened?” asked Barbara, looking around the off-white chamber.      The tall person in the white robe smiled.  “We get a lot of that.  You turned left on the corner of State and Delaware just as a driver lost control of his SUV.  You were caught between the grille and the window washer’s scaffold.” Continue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Reassessment”
