“The Stolen Election”

by Thomas L. James | 12:26 am, November 8, 2012

Let me state up-front that I am NOT claiming that any of this is true, so don’t anyone accuse me of being a crackpot conspiracy theorist here. This is simply a thought experiment/thriller plot that I found entertaining to think through. On the way home from the victory party funeral last night, it struck me [...]

White House Offers to Pay Defense Contractors’ Legal Expenses for Breaking the Law to Cover for White House

by Thomas L. James | 10:21 pm, September 29, 2012

The audacity of bribery – White House Moves To Head Off Sequester Layoffs: Some defense companies—including Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems and EADS North America—have said they expect to send notices to their employees 60 days before sequestration takes effect to comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires companies to give advance [...]

Vetting Obama

by Thomas L. James | 11:57 pm, March 4, 2012

The first in a series, it would appear – The Vetting, Part I: Barack’s Love Song To Alinsky: From today through Election Day, November 6, 2012, we will vet this president–and his rivals. We begin with a column Andrew wrote last week in preparation for today’s Big relaunch–a story that should swing the first hammer [...]

Hawaii Five-O Insults Pearl Harbor Survivors

by Thomas L. James | 7:29 pm, December 10, 2011

This is sad. But predictable with Hollywood, unfortunately – FIVE-O CREW DISGRACEFUL TO WWII PEARL HARBOR SURVIVORS: The TGGF program had brought 24 red roses to place at the gravesites on the opposite side of the Punchbowl.  The program crew actually had one of their men wearing a backpack and earplug walk through – infiltrate [...]

Occupy Denver Invades BlogCon 2011…

by Thomas L. James | 3:41 pm, November 11, 2011

…And is shouted down and mocked mercilessly. They really shouldn’t have taken on Steven Crowder.

UPDATE: Tony Katz doesn’t take kindly to a protester trying to interrupt his radio show later in the day:

An Inconvenient Halloween Short Story

by Thomas L. James | 9:00 pm, October 30, 2011

This story was originally inspired by Walter Russel Mead’s article on Bill McKibben’s collection of science fiction short stories aimed at scaring the public (er, ‘shaping an emotional response’) over global warming. I was too busy to finish it when it was actually topical, unfortunately, so I am publishing it instead as a scary story suitable for Halloween.  NOVEMBER 7, 2500: Seasons formed [...]

Occupy Toledo!

by Thomas L. James | 3:32 pm, October 17, 2011

So I’m walking down the street in Toledo (the one in Spain) on Saturday, and I suddenly find myself in the middle of a protest. Near as I can tell from cognates, it was something related to the Occupy Wall Street crap but translated into Spanish. Naturally, I had to play reporter and get some [...]

Since 9/11

by Thomas L. James | 3:31 pm, September 11, 2011

I think like most Americans old enough to remember 9/11, I remember it almost moment by moment, as clear as if it had happened yesterday. Which makes it strange to think that it’s been ten years now — I remember it more clearly than a lot of news events that happened in the past year [...]

Final Shuttle Flight Thoughts

by Thomas L. James | 7:16 pm, July 10, 2011

I’ve been offline for most of the past week with DSL issues, so didn’t get to see any of the coverage of the final Shuttle launch until this afternoon. Haven’t yet found the ET “death camera” footage (though someone at a wedding I attended yesterday mentioned having seen it), but here’s the normal launch-through-sep version [...]
