I would like to join those voices who have grown louder about massive government coverups. It is as if at some point, leaders who cannot agree on borders or human rights or the environment got together and agreed to hide all evidence they have on a phenomenon they have decided (or have been told,Continue reading “Polar Perplexity”

DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER 12
Sheriff Parimat and her Chief Deputy were the last of the playmates released from the Panoply when His Imperial Worship’s pigherds decided the Imperial pets were ready for a new assortment of friends. They stepped slowly, stiffly, through a darkened cargo bay from which all the ornaments had now been removed. The Sheriff stoopedContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER 12”
Daze of Festival
Ah yes: it’s that time of year again. I say that, but I don’t believe it. For some of us, it has been that time of year since about the middle of October. This period of time, which we can call by the nebulous term “holiday season” has delighted me since I was oldContinue reading “Daze of Festival”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VII
We continue to hunt for conspiracy theories involving each President of the United States. To qualify, the story must be more or less contemporary with the President involved, and must be discounted by a majority of Mainstream Historians. I was expecting the boring Presidents of the late nineteenth century to be fairly free ofContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VII”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER 11
“I think it was a harmless joke!” Nubry exclaimed again. “Do I? Yes, I do!” Bott said nothing, watching the ship’s defenses vaporizing bits of petals and stems as they neared the ship, AND wondering whether anyone but the Sacotans of Etmaal III were the only ones who ever got so angry asContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER 11”
FICTION FRIDAY: A Smell of Leaves
Mike straightened his back with only minor effort, and stretched. That was a respectable pile of leaves, and the weather was perfect for raking: cool with a light breeze not quite strong enough to go through the cloth jacket he was thinking of taking off if Carol wasn’t watching him through the kitchen window. Continue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: A Smell of Leaves”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VI
We continue our quest to find a conspiracy theory for each President of the United States. To reiterate the rules, we need something that was not just made up yesterday on the Interwebs: a conspiracy theory is best if it is contemporary with the president, or arose shortly thereafter. And to be a REALContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES VI”
DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER 10
“Toots and Casper had a baby named….” “Buttercup!” Bott sealed the last of his belt grenades, having checked the charge in each one. “How can you chat that way with a slave ship?” he asked Nubry. “Oh! Well,” The librarian shrugged three times in quick succession. “She’s not really that muchContinue reading “DRAGONSHELF AND THE DROVER 10”
Airy Problems
I know it’s not February, but you can always file this column and not read it until February (if then.) Besides, I’m offering you a break from all those November articles which tell you that Benjamin Franklin suggested the turkey be made our national bird instead of the bald eagle. This always hasContinue reading “Airy Problems”
PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES V
This is a series where we seek out at least one good solid conspiracy theory about each President of the United States. We prefer those which were active at the time the President in question was, and the theory should be considered, by a majority of Mainstream Historians (as any good Conspiracy Theorist knowsContinue reading “PRESIDENTIAL TALL TALES V”
