Okay,I've broken my original Chapter Three into bite-size chunks, and I'm enjoying this far more than what I feel like writing about today, which is this hideously depressing Wall Street Journal article which essentially outlines how the US turns itself into a European-style welfare state overnight, only with the extra added bonus of the end ...

I'menjoying this probably more than the rest of you, but here's Chapter Three of my magnum opus. If you want to catch up, the Prologue is here, here's Chapter One, and here's Chapter Two. Right now, Chapter Three is over 12,000 words long. I need to break it into pieces, but I'm not ... Read more

I’mvery grateful to have avoided blogging my way through perhaps the most frustrating of all the presidential debates. It wasn’t the most boring – that was the last one – but this one demonstrated, more than any other, why John McCain is easily the worst Republican presidential candidate to get the GOP nomination in my ...

Tonightis Presidential Debate #3, and I'm about as interested in watching McCain getting flushed down the crapper again as I am to watch, well, anything get flushed down the crapper. Each debate blogging has gotten me in hot water with Mrs. Cornell, as she has had to deal with the majority of the family issues/Stalliondo ... Read more

THANKYOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your comments on the novel. They are more helpful than you know. Some comments on your comments: At one point, the dog was important, but as the novel progresses, it doesn't seem to be working out that way. Except Lisa calls Jeff "Jumper" throughout the book based on that ... Read more

Onlyfour comments on Chapter One, but all four are very helpful. Most complain about the length of the comic book setup, but there's less fat there than it might seem - much of the banter becomes important in later chapters. I was trying to lay some expositional groundwork without being tedious, and I'm not sure ... Read more

Sohere's Chapter One of my book. Yes, it's late, So are my birthday greetings to my big sister, JBN. Happy birthday, JBN! And happy birthday today to my lovely bride Mrs. Cornell, who is now older than me again.  Anyway, you know the rules. Actually, there are no rules. Savage this without mercy. (You can ... Read more

Gothere late. Obama blames the economic crisis on George Bush. He needs to read my "Bailout for Dummies." This is sheer scapegoating. Now he's beating up on CEOs with bonuses and golden parachutes. He says middle class needs a rescue package - a mini-New Deal. Lots of class warfare tonight.  McCain looks awkward and starts ... Read more

Won'tbe as fun as Palin/Biden, but if I'm in for a penny, I'm in for a pound. Join me for yet another running commentary. ... Read more

SoI spent Saturday night and Sunday morning up in Park City with my lovely bride, ditching the Priesthood session of General Conference because Mrs. Cornell’s sister was willing to take all five kids off of our hands overnight. This does not happen often, and when it does happen, the opportunity must not be squandered. We ... Read more
