Don’t rush out and buy this one :-)

Word is that Hillary’s latest book — a campaign stinker supposedly co-authored with Tim Kaine but obviously churned out by some PR flack in an office that looks like a Dilbert cartoon — is selling just slightly more copies* than the latest piece of fan-fic authored by Mary Sue Glanvick, age 16, featuring herself as the buxom and brilliant native maiden who saves the life and wins the heart of Captain Kirk. Which has not stopped many brilliant reviewers from reviewing it. —– *Although it may be selling more now out of sheer notoriety.

Claire’s Cabal is now open for fun and general conspiracy

And the new member site is (ta-da!) ClairesCabal.com. If you go there as a non-member, you’re going to wonder what the fuss is about. You’ll see one page. It’ll try to give you an idea what the fuss is about. But to see more, you have to become a Cabalista. All qualifying donors in the late fundraiser just got their invitations and free-membership coupons. Well, all but a couple. (SK, I don’t have an email address for you. Michael L, your email bounced. Anybody else didn’t get an expected invite, let me know.) So what’s Claire’s Cabal all about? The…

Shoving us at gunpoint toward the cashless society

Talk of forcing us into a cashless society has been around for decades. It’s very easy to tune it out as old news, something that’s going to remain a statist pipe dream forever.

A police/surveillance state in which cash is more important to the authorities than any actual crimes committed. And the increasing ruthlessness of first-world states everywhere. We’ve got an atmosphere in which the desire for privacy is itself considered a sign of criminal intent. Now the faux-intellectual…

Autographed books (on Amazon!)

Okay, this is an experiment, guys. But if you’ve been wanting an autographed dead-tree copy of either RebelFire: Out of the Gray Zone or Hardyville Tales, you can — for the moment at least — get them on Amazon. Both links should take you straight to all the Marketplace sellers who have unused copies for sale. Living Freedom — that’s me — is at the top with the lowest price. If you find some other result when you click the link, just look for the Living Freedom handle. The listing procedures didn’t allow me to say the books were autographed,…

Monday-that-falls-on-a-Tuesday links

  • Per Adam in comments: “Inside the Federal Bureau of Way Too Many Guns.” How the ATF traces guns used in crimes since the mean old NRA has denied it a full computerized record. (Actually an interesting article, though it would have been better with some recognition of why that computerized database is verboten.)
  • Ah, but The Atlantic has something much easier to track, even though it could fill just as many large cardboard boxes: the scandals of Hillary from Whitewater to Bengazi.
  • With science fiction’s Hugo awards having become so politicized that a coterie of social justice pecksniffs will deny v*tes to great writers, artists, and editors merely because they’re supported by a rival (and more freedomista) coterie, The Dragon Awards arise. No cliques. Just fan voting. And of course that makes it “sexist,” “racist,” and … well, you know the drill.
