If you’re poor and can’t afford private school, you get free public education through 12th grade.
“Makes sense.”
If you’re poor and can’t afford college, you get free public college for another four years.
“What? Are you crazy? That’s socialism!”

If you’re poor and arrested, you get a free lawyer.
“Makes sense.”
If you’re poor and sick, you get a free doctor.

The Wall was never about security. It won’t stop immigrants from coming here (most of whom come by plane); it won’t stop the drugs — it’s just a way for the bigots in America, led by their Prime Leader Trump, to show their hatred of anyone not like them.
And he’s not even pretending any more. The latest tweet from him warns us that Muslim prayer rugs have been found.
Muslims! Be very very afraid! Despite the fact that the majority of terrorist attacks in America in the past ten years have been from white male Christians, Muslims! They’re different from you! A lot of them are brown! Be very very scared and vote for Republicans who will protect you!
But hey, you know, when elected Republican bigots are asking why it’s wrong to be a white supremacist and when they’re hosting holocaust deniers in the capitol, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.
Just angry.
Many bloggers have donate buttons so you can support their work and help them pay the fees to the web host. Not me.
I just ask you to buy my books. It’s a win-win! I get another book sale and you get to not only keep reading my blog, but have fun with a new book!
My latest — coming only a month after my last novel “Big Stick” — is an anthology I edited which contains stories from some of the top writers in science fiction and fantasy!
The idea was simple: Each story had to contain the phrase “release the virgins.” We even had a humorous short promotional video made which features all of the writers (and me)!
Look at this great lineup of stories:
“Valedictory” by Lawrence Watt-Evans
“Sidekicked” by Hildy Silverman
“Command Decision” by Steve Miller
“Are You There, Cthulhu? It’s Me, Judy” by Beth W. Patterson
“Innocence Lost” by Gail Z. Martin
“How Mose Saved the Virgins of Old New York” by Allen M. Steele
“The Fires of Rome” by Jody Lynn Nye
“Salvage” by Shariann Lewitt
“The Midwinter of Our Discontent” by Keith R.A. DeCandido
“Coming Attractions” by Daniel M. Kimmel
“Cracking the Vault” by Matt Bechtel
“The Coffee Corps” by Alex Shvartsman
“The Vestals of Midnight” by Sharon Lee
“Paradisiacal Protocols” by Gordon Linzner
“Brass Tacks” by Cecilia Tan
“Old Spirits” by Brian Trent
“The Running of the Drones” by Patrick Thomas
“Dangerous Virgins” by David Gerrold
It’s available in hard cover, paperback, kindle or nook versions! Upon its release, it even made the top 10 for “science fiction anthologies” on Amazon.
So grab a copy yourself and release the virgins!

Idiots: “Both parties are the same!”
I’m already sick of these damn Bernie Bots and Russian trolls trying to divide us. “Why Bernie supporters should crush Beto supporters” says one article. There’s another article saying why liberals should abandon Hillary. It’s written by a right-wing columnist, and liberals are sharing it. Really? You want to take advice from these people?
NO.
When progressives fight it’s exactly what the Republicans want.
NO. NO CRUSHING OTHER DEMOCRATS. And yes, I know that Bernie isn’t really a Democrat but it does us absolutely no good to trash him, either.
When discussing potential candidates, there are two big questions:
1. Who do I like best?
2. Who do I think can win?
These are often not the same person. I’ve been voting in Democratic primaries since 1976 and the only time the candidate I wanted in the primary got the nomination was with Obama. And in every single case, the person who was nominated was still better than the Republican candidate.
Demanding perfection and turning on anyone who isn’t on your side 100% means you are destroying the candidate who is only on your side 75% of the time. And then the Republican who is on your side 0% of the time wins.
Stop demonizing the candidates who aren’t perfect in your eyes. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying “We have many good candidates, but I prefer X.”
Stop doing the job of Republicans and Russian trolls.
