Hawaii Five-O Insults Pearl Harbor Survivors

by T.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 [...]

by T.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 T.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 T.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 T.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 T.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 [...]

Atlas Shrugged Trailer

by T.L. James | 10:46 am, February 12, 2011

This would make a great drinking game at your next Objectivist book club meeting: spot the deviations from the book! I guess one has to expect many differences from the source material, given that the producers don’t have a Lord of the Rings-scale budget with which to depict the “period” setting of the book — [...]

“A Fount of Nonsense Who Exasperated Everyone He Talked To”

by T.L. James | 7:51 am, January 13, 2011

Dave “JournoList” Weigel digs around at AboveTopSecret and discovers what may be some postings from Jared Loughner, under the userid “Erad3″: If the NASA Space Shuttle is able to reenter from the orbit of the Earth then the NASA Space Shuttle is able to reenter because of the heat of 1,500 °C. The NASA Space [...]
