The Post in Which I Piss Off EVERYBODY.
http://www.michaelzwilliamson.com/bl...-off-everybody
Or, How I Learned To Stop Caring.
By way of introduction, I'd like to explain some of my former positions. Please do not reply and tell me why I'm wrong. That's not relevant to this post. These WERE my positions, for right or wrong.
This guy has a good point.

Interesting blog - I enjoyed his bio...
Quote:
I was born in 1967 in Birkenhead, England.
I was raised all over the place. No respectable town wanted us: Birkenhead; Aintree area of Liverpool; Newton-le-Willows; the Isle of Wight; Mississauga, Ontario; Newark, Granville and Toledo, Ohio.
I joined the USAF at age 18, and went on a whirlwind tour of the deserts and cornfields of America before settling down, sort of: Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, TX; Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, TX; Chanute AFB, Rantoul, IL; Urbana-Champaign, IL; Indianapolis, IN.
I've also visited: Large tracts of Scotland and Wales; Majorca, Spain; Kuwait; most of the continental US; Fort McCoy, WI; Camp Grayling, MI; Camp Ashland, NE; Offutt AFB, NE; Hurlburt Field, FL; Eglin AFB, FL; Tyndall AFB, FL; Hulman Field, Terre Haute; Winnipeg, Manitoba.
With my show schedule I spend lots of time in: Slippery Rock, PA; Chicago, IL; Minneapolis, MN, Columbus, OH; rural Michigan.
Coming soon: A town near you!
My hobbies are much what I do for a living and a few other things: reading, writing, historical re-enactments, forging blades, throwing myself out of aircraft, climbing, hiking, Karate, Kung Fu, shooting, archery, fine liquors, fine food, traveling and ranting at the political, social and moral state of the world.
I met Gail at a science fiction convention in 1991. We had a one-night stand. Then we had another. The second one has lasted 12 years so far. We have the typical 2.3 kids. One of each.
Okay, we have Morrigan, Eric and some cats.

...and might have to read this book.

Lawyers In Hell
Imagine a military unit of lawyers including such notables as Sergeant Strom Thurmond, Captain Joseph McCarthy and General Stephen Vincent Benet (the grandfather of the poet), in hell.
The Coordinating Legal Airborne Platoon (The CLAP) must parachute into Ashcanistan and search the wastelands in and around Kabum for the most honest man in hell.

I'm surprised former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark is missing from the CLAP list - he should be their CO.

He's also a damn fine author. (Though his books are guaranteed to piss off progressives.  )

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)

Good read.... I liked this:
