Sci-Fi

The Bad News:

Fred Saberhagen died on the 29th of june.

Good News:

Kinda, pretty much everybody who is somebody in Sci-fi is at the Heinlein Centenarry celebration. in KC.

He was a visionary and brought many studly jock types, like myself, into the fold of sci-fi.

If only we had heard you properly then and lets hope we hear you now sir.

Inclusion: I meant to make a flying car joke, but I screwed it up, I have to stop clicking so damn fast.

Update:  How big of a deal is Robert Heinlein?  So big that INSTY! used a “jump” to describe him.  INSTY used a JUMP, I’m just say’n.

More than 100 dead

The article paints a very negative picture, and it is pretty damn sad, but I can’t help this question about Iraq and other havens for insane lunatic’s willing to slaughter civilians, children, mothers and non-participatory fathers.  Is the problem in Iraq brought about by the US “invasion,” which is really a code word for “evil conquest by an alien western culture,” or is it that the previous regime, and the support from Iran and Syria has no problem putting HUGE amounts of modern explosives into the hands of lunatics?

I’m pro-second amendment, but I think it’s a fair bet that a truck’s worth of explosives would raise some eyebrows and deserves a little investigation and research.

The only occupation an unemployed undocummented iranian, syrian, saudi, pick your random islamic nation can fill is that of murderous animal.  Lets hope they engage in immigration reform, as well as enact a pogram.

Sorry, you gotta kill the loyalists, even we did it.
