It’s been a while since the last post.

The fact is I’ve been writing a lot more than I’ve been researching these days, and that’s a good thing. The second book is coming along nicely, but work there has meant that updates here have been a lot less frequent. So, let’s catch up for a minute with some things I would have posted here if I’d had the time:

1. Contrary to some speculation, I’m not dead.

2. Likewise, telecom immunity and the Protect America Act are also not dead. No, once again both “parties” have joined hands to revive rampant warrantless wiretapping of American citizens while removing accountability to the people.

3. Deborah Jean Palfrey, the so-called DC Madam, apparently hangs herself, despite her very recent assertions that she would never do anything of the sort. Early last year, one of Palfrey’s employees also apparently hanged herself on the eve of what would have likely been a high-profile, tell-all trial.

4. From $23.00 a barrel in 2001, crude oil prices passed $121.00 yesterday. $200.00 predicted.

Meanwhile, I’m working hard to finish my next novel before it all comes true.
