The unabridged audio version of my 1983 novel The Nagasaki Vector, brilliantly read by the great libertarian radio host Brian Wilson, is finally available for purchase.

Many feel that this is the funniest book I've written so far—at least intentionally—and features our old friend Win Bear, G. Howell Nahuatl, a sapient coyote, time traveler Bernie Gruenblum, and Georgie, the time machine who loves him.

The price: $12.99.
The place: CD Baby.

I understand that it will soon be available in iTunes, as well.

This is why I'm opposed to religion in general. Believing in things that ain't so turns people into bloodthirsty conscienceless monsters. ESPECIALLY if ya should point out that it ain't so.

Anyone who is not able to consider they might be wrong, or who even refuses to admit that possibility is a dangerous lunitic. As Aristotle said:

I say [this is true] apparently, for the actual facts are not yet sufficiently made out. Should further research ever discover them, we must yield to their guidance rather than to that of theory; for theories must be abandoned, unless their teachings tally with the indisputable results of observation.
—Aristotle, quoted in the "Introduction" to Aristotle on Man in the Universe, ed. Louise Ropes Loomis, pub. W. J. Black's Classics Club [Source not cited, but it is On the Generation of Animals, Book 3, chapter 10.]

A Little History Lesson
by L. Neil Smith
In 1964, one of the most formative years in American history, the "movers and shakers" in the Republican Party were faced with the terrible prospect of the voters actually getting the candidate they wanted, instead of whatever member of Skull & Bones and the Council On Foreign Relations the party elite, in their wisdom, had chosen for them.

Standing and the pursuit of felony
by Rich Matarese
Let's see... A candidate for public office provides a signed attestation to the explicit effect that he IS qualified to stand for election to that office. The administrative officer in each venue—state, county, municipality, whatever—isn't required by specific statute law to verify that attestation of qualification, but merely to confirm that, yeah, this particular putz did sign the paper, and it's his ass if anything on the paper is a lie. Any private citizen in that venue, however, DOES have undeniable standing to challenge the assertion of qualification.
