Seriously. I’m going to be discussing, among other things, the end of the movie. Which I don’t ordinarily do, but it relates squarely to the film’s major weakness. You’re warned.

Forty-one minutes ago, Mitch McConnell reiterated that he has no intention of doing his job, something for which ordinary people would be summarily fired. Citing the non-existent “Biden Rule,” he claims that a broad assertion in a hypothetical situation made by Joe Biden in the previous century is somehow a law that Congress must follow.

Screw them. Screw them all. If the Congress refuses to abide by the Constitution, Obama should totally make his latest choice, a man no reasonable individual would have a problem with, a recess appointment. Done deal.

I have just completed “Pyramid Schemes,” in which our ragtag anti-knight returns. This time Apropos winds up in an Egyptian-esque realm where he winds up being tasked to free the slaves and winds up coping with a mummy’s curse.

It will be published during the summer by Crazy 8 Press. If you are a legitimate reviewer, please drop me a line at padguy@aol.com and we’ll see about getting you a review copy.

By the way, I must highly recommend the brand new audio-dramatizations of the first two Apropos novels. Check out Graphic Audio here for more details.

When I was growing up there was an old saying: “You don’t speak ill of the dead.” I always assumed there were two reasons for that. First, the dead can’t defend themselves, so it isn’t sporting. And second, you’re going to hurt the feelings of the family at a time when they’re in mourning.

Whatever happened to that attitude? Whatever happened to simple, gøddámņëd consideration? Why in God’s name have we turned into a country of ignorant shites who don’t care about anyone or anything except themselves? Who will take any opportunity to spout off at length about things they know nothing about, and consider the idea of hurting each other to be some manner of recreational pastime?

Is there any chance that this country is going to reclaim its conscience?
