Silly me! In the furor that was the last weekend of the winter break, I forgot to post the winners from last week’s Watcher’s Council votes. It was an incredibly strong week of submissions, so the fight was fierce, hence all the ties: Council Submissions First place with 4 1/3
Continue readingI’m reading a very enjoyable novel right now that is completely on point about the way in which the Left operates, especially when it comes to the media and academia. The writer is tuned into the name calling that substitutes for informed debate. For example, when the book’s protagonist, Paul,

Although spanking is not illegal, it’s enough to entangle you with Child Protective Services and, from that moment on, parenting life as you know it is over. Despite the danger, when my kids were little, I spanked them. With

Now that you’ve seen SF as it once was, you may find interesting my post about SF as it
