Climate Gate and Alternate Realities by Kevin Willis |
| I think Rush Limbaugh is right: there are two realities. He describes them as "the universe of truth" (whatever conservatives say) and the "universe of lies" (that being whatever liberals say). I might define the terms less divisively. But the conclusions would probably be the same. |

Stephen King takes us Under the Dome by Kevin Willis |
| The latest from Stephen King is a page-turner, as usual, but he lays on the anti-Christian, now practically anti-religious sentiment, on a little thick this time. |

The "Cash for Clunkers" Bill Doesn't Work as Advertised by Kevin Willis |
| Is anyone really surprised? Did the TARP bill work as promised? Did the Stimulus bill fix the economy, or just spray money at bureaucrats while unemployment as climbed to 10%? Well, the "Cash for Clunkers" bill isn't working, and we want these people to take over the entire healthcare system? |

By Definition, an Advetorial by Kevin Willis |
| But, sometimes it's necessary. Especially in the New Super-Duper Obama-Economy. It's an Obamanation! So, I gotta do whatever I can to try and put food on the table in the midst of this new Great Depression of Anti-Capitalist tragedy. Yay. So come get some home healthcare and clinical supplies. |

It's The End of the World As We Know It by Kevin Willis |
| It is the Obama generation. Republicans want to lurch left. Democrats see one-party rule (theirs) stretching out far into the future, and are governing accordingly. Obama can do anything, and keep almost no campaign promises, and it does not matter to the public or the press. And the economy is collapsing. Yay! |

It's a Great Time to Lose Money in the Market by Kevin Willis |
| In fact, it's always a great time to lose money in the stock market. Because it's so easy to do. With the advent of Online Trading, it's even easier! But you can also make a little money, or at least preserve your principal, if you proceed with caution. |

Random Thoughts by Kevin Willis |
Yes, I think thoughts on occasion. These are a few of them. Obama lies very well. I'm more scared by the hypnotized pod-people love for Obama than Obama himself.

The Science is Settled by Kevin Willis |
Global Warming is a fact. Seriously. Who are you going to believe? Us elite scientists, entertainers and politicians who are better and smarter than you, or your own lying eyes? Or the lessons of group psychology and history? No, believe us. And, um, we need some of your money, okay? And you need to tailor your lifestyle and everything you do to satisfy us. Because we're smarter than you. Awright? Awright.

The Rise of the Dark Wizard by Kevin Willis |
| No, it's not about Obama. It's about slowly putting out my fantasy novel, The Rise of the Dark Wizard, in blog form. Want to read it? Then, click on this article and follow the links. Don't care for fantasy novels? That's fine, too. But you won't need to bother with this article. |

Sarah Palin Is Dangerous by Kevin Willis |
This I know. Because the Liberal Media tells me so. Seriously, why does the media and the Democrats and the left hate Sarah Palin so much? Why have they decided she has to be destroyed?

Bring Back The Glass-Steagall Act by Kevin Willis |
| Each time we repeal the Depression era legislation meant to prevent the sorts of collapses we saw in the late 20s/early 30s financial markets, we end up with a financial crisis. Has it ever occurred to those folks that those rules were there for a reason? |

Univeral Healthcare . . . One Day by Kevin Willis |
Universal Healthcare will be awesome, cuz the government is better at managing everything. Isn't it true?
And if we don't get Universal Healthcare, it proves we're still a fundamentally racist country! It's the issue that keeps on giving. |

People are Idiots by Kevin Willis |
| That may be a little harsh. And, surely, tainted by my own personal political biases. But I can't help but think that it's also a little true, especially given the arguments--and the amazing presumptions--certain commenters on certain blogs are prone to make.

Black Apple by Kevin Willis |
| Black Apple is a fantasy story I wrote in 1990, based in the same fantasy world of Ashealla as a 1986 novella, Only for Leasia. Although I've been working on a fantasy novel set in the same universe for the past seven years, Only for Leasia and Black Apple are the only stories set in this particular universe that I ever finished. Only for Leasia is much larger and needs some polishing before I post it, but this one is just right in it's original form. So here it is! |

Reduction by Kevin Willis |
| "Reduction" was written in 2003, motivated--as much of my sci-fi stuff is--in trying to take a hard-science fiction approach to an old formula, in this case the old "Incredible Shrinking Man" formula. Movies and literature have had people shrinking, or being shrunk, for years--but in the physical world, there would be real challenges in terms of physics and chemistry to both actually shrinking a living creature, and such shrinking would definitely have negative effects on the creature being shrunk. Plus, I've been a big fan of nanotechnology since I read K. Eric Drexler's Engines of Creation. |

|
Rain on Mars by Kevin Willis |
| Another story I wrote circa 2003, this one about a Martian colony. I always thought it would be interesting to do a story about Mars that wasn't fantastical, didn't depend on some 10,000 year old alien civilazation for the drama, and had more to do with real-world politics and corporate bureaucracy than the average Mars story ever did. Thus was born: Rain on Mars. |

Houdini's Box by Kevin Willis |
| This is a story I wrote in 2003, an idea inspired by Jill Sobule's song, "Houdini's Box". I'm sure it's not what she had in mind, but I was listening to the song while working on one of my many unfinished novel, and it came to me completely done in my head. I think I actually wrote it down in two days--which is awfully fast for me, even for a short story. It's a fairly dark story, and deals with a child dying, so if that's not your kind of thing, I suggest you stay away. |

The Bowels of Hell by Kevin Willis |
| The Bowels of Hell is a short story I wrote in college, slightly ammended with a few more details a few years ago. I've always loved this story of a college English class taking a field trip to Hell. I sent it to a few magazines, and no takers, so apparently it's just me. But here it is, in all its glory. |

Mud by Kevin Willis |
| This is a short story I wrote in 1989 about the love and longing and being unable to connect with the object of desire. As personified by a mud-creature that lives in a pit on an old Southern farm. I've been meaning to put some of the fiction I've written over the years online in some form or fashion, and this is it. |

Elliot Spitzer Apologizes by Kevin Willis |
| Might work for him. Didn't do it for Larry Craig or Mark Foley, but they were Republicans. It all worked out fine for Barney Frank, so that (D) besides his name may make it a non-issue. |

The 1/2 Hour News Hour by Kevin Willis |
| Going through my many, many writings, I recently discovered a half-post I had been working on shortly after the 1/2 Hours News Hour debuted on Fox. This is a little late to the game, but . . . what the heck? Here's my review, that I meant to post a year ago, of the 1/2 Hour News Hour. |

I Picked HD DVD Again, And Here's Why . . . by Kevin Willis |

Debunking Global Warming, Part 3: The Myths of Consensus by Kevin Willis |
| Michael Crichton also chews up and spits out the entire idea of "scientific consensus", and I make the point--mostly by citing others who have made the point before me--that the so-called "scientific consensus", even if it had any actual value, is not so obvious and clear cut as the High Priests and Priestesses of the First Church of Climate Change would have you believe. |

Props to the Dems! They Carried The Day, and Good for Them by Kevin Willis |
| What a sweet election victory for the Democrats, and recounts (or litigation) may make it even sweeter. Props to the Dems for nationalizing the campaign, getting out the vote, and beating the Republicans. PS: My ability at prognosticating elections clearly sucks. |

It's Election Day! Or, It's Mid-Morning in America! by Kevin Willis |
| My quick prediction, as good as anybody else's: several surprise Republican victories, several unsurprising Democrat victories, and both the congress and the senate will remain under Republican control, with narrowed margins. |

Shut Up and Sing! by Kevin Willis |
Since the Dixie Chicks were blacklisted and we have no freedom of speech in King George BusHitler's America, how come they are still mouthing off, bad mouthing their former fans and most of the rest of America, starring in a new documentary, getting articles written about them, having videos in number one rotation on VH1 for weeks, and on the cover of magazines? And how come they are still way richer than me?
Being blacklisted and having no freedom of speech must mean something very different from what I always thought it meant. |

Politicizing 9/11 by Kevin Willis |
| Bush makes a speech that is about the War on Terror, and he's accused of politicizing 9/11. And the Democrats proceed with a organized, talking-points filled campaign to gain political advantage from Bush's speech. |

Burn Ann Coulter (And Her Book, Too) by Kevin Willis |
| The politically correct speech Nazis are on the March against Ann Coulter, again. Oh, hey, did I mention that these particular speech Nazis are Republicans? Oh, yeah, baby. Just more evidence that conservatives are opposed to women who speak their mind. |

A Day in the Life of Joe Republican by Kevin Willis |

The Nuclear Option by Kevin Willis |

The Media Landscape is Changing by Kevin Willis |

Well, It's On Every Other Blog . . . by Kevin Willis |

What's The Matter With Kansas by Kevin Willis |
