“You magnify the world, probing its secrets.” He was pacing back and forth now, upset, spilling that wonderful brogue. “You look for connections, invisible threads, bits of flotsam and jetsam and DNA, in between the important stuff, the copy and...

Commented on Video teaser for new book: The Inside Story of the Process Church
Interesting, Zandar. Taoism did not start as a religion, but a way of living. Most religions--including western ones--have this duality to them, an earthly set of groundrules for dealing with life, and a set of rules for what happens afterwards....

He floated outside the ship, holding the dull silver sphere clumsily in his gloved hands. Turning it, he found a raised square in the center. He thought he might report in, take it inside to examine. But… Impulsively, he pressed down on the square. And was suddenly inside a dull sphere, lit from nowhere, floating free. “Zephraim to Alpha, over.” Nothing. “Zephraim to Alpha.” He wouldn’t panic. Not yet. He looked around: dull, featureless. Except for the little silver sphere in the center of the chamber. He floated to it, picked it up. Examined the raised square in the center…...

I have spent 25 years searching the depths of space, galaxy after galaxy, world upon world. In a dark tavern just outside of the city Geisler on planet Morpha, there he was. Smaller than I expected, but still mind boggling that after so long I finally found him. I walked up to him and asked him for his autograph and Captain James T Kirk set his drink down and said, “ I don’t do autographs, you Denebian slime devil.” He handed me a headshot and I went home. What a douche bag!...

“He after this,” the bodyguard presented a sleek electronic-looking cube. “Charged right in and started hootin’ when he grab it.” Cortez waved back a patrolman. “Says it his. Saw it on Cribs. Knew right where it at.” The bodyguard made a low huffing sound that Cortez placed finally as a laugh. “Needs it to get back home. Some kind of space man.” Cortez studied the bruised up cracker in the squad car. More cars arrived every few moments, drawn to the address more than the call. “The man’s name really Marion?” Cortez wanted to know. “Naw, man. Name is Mister.”...

dmmnola commented on TSA officer caught stealing laptops at JFK
The TSA at JFK stole a $3000.00 camera from my baggage yesterday (12/3/2009). I was one of the first passengers off of the plane in Paris and actually spotted my bag as it was being unloaded from the plane. It looked suspiciously flat. I was worried that my equipment had been crushed in flight. However, when I picked up my baggage from the baggage claim belt, it was not only flat, but was light as a feather. My camera and lenses were all gone, stolen by some gorilla who doesn't have enough sense to operate a camera. I'm sure it's...
