So yet another week and news has come to light the our good friend and five-gallon hat model, Cliven Bundy has found his way back into the spotlight to grab another fifteen minutes of fame.

Read more +Another week, another overblown media sensation. The centerpiece of this episode is a man who goes by Cliven Bundy. On the surface, Mr. Bundy would appear to be a model American hero. A plain-spoken cattle rancher living in Nevada, his cowboy hat and stubborn resolve are the stuff of dime-store novels. But just as book […]
Read more +Hold on, put down the torches and hear me out. Softball is great, and nothing I’m about to say is meant to take away from the dedication and athleticism of the women who play it at the collegiate level. Just the opposite, actually. First, I need to tell you a story. It’s the opening week […]
Read more +I apologize to my readers not fortunate enough to live in Packer country, but this is going to be a pretty Wisconsin-centric post. Still, you should probably watch for the warning signs in your own states as well. Last Thursday we added yet another exciting episode to the truly bizarre bit of performance art that […]

After reading over a dozen different After Action Reports on the fallout, I can’t help but feel like there’s a lot of ass-covering, sour-grapes, and […]
Read more +As both a fan of, and writer of science fiction, there are few questions that loom larger in my mind than are we alone? Two great minds of the last century tried to answer the question, or at least lay the foundation for how we think about the problem. The funny thing was, they couldn’t […]
Read more +As many of you are doubtlessly aware, the Arizona State House has recently passed a new law which, simply put, legalizes discrimination against LGTB citizens by anyone who runs a business serving the public. The bill awaits Governor Jan Brewer’s signature before it becomes law, but the fact that it passed with solid majorities, in […]
Read more +Hello everyone. Continuing in my series of guest posts today is my good friend M. Todd Gallowglas. His story comes from a slightly different perspective than my previous guests, because Mr. Gallowglas is one of those self-publishing vandals. Enjoy! M. Todd Gallowglas: A couple of weeks ago, I put out the word that I was […]
Read more +Good morning friends, lurkers, and mortal enemies keeping tabs on me. While Let Sleeping Gods Lie cools its heels in a new agent’s hands for a while, I’ve brought in an excellent guest post from the indomitable Myke Cole! For those of you who don’t know, Myke has been making a big splash these last […]
