Relentless Short Stories: Flight of Passage: Ben Nordberg and Steve Mason
Stay true to your vision. Remember why you’re doing it. If it’s for fame, money, drugs or girls, then you’ll end up in a room full of marketing men with some committee telling you what chord to play next.
-Steve Mason, The Beta Band

“U.S. Postal Service workers who handle letters addressed to Santa at the North Pole say more letters ask for basics — coats, socks and shoes — rather than Barbie dolls, video games and computers. At New York City’s main post office, Head Elf Pete Fontana and 22 staff elves will sort 2 million letters in Operation Santa, which connects needy children with ‘Secret Santas’ who...

Hopefully the Smithsonian will do the right thing and won’t kowtow to a few loud, crazy voices.
Thanks so much
Wow. Honestly, thanks to everyone who offered to help me out after yesterday’s request. I’m completely floored by your generosity.
I plan to send out emails on Monday.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

A little help?
To all my smart and beautiful Internet pals (which is each and every one of you),
I need some help. I’ve spent the last four months sending out my novel, Boone’s Landing. I’ve enjoyed some very nice, supportive rejection letters from presses and agents alike. They all say something very similar: we love how you use description and think the family dynamic is an interesting one,...

Jonathan Safran Foer:
~ Placed at the end of a sentence, the “pedal point” signifies a thought that dissolves into a suggestive silence. The pedal point is distinguished from the ellipsis and the dash in that the thought it follows is neither incomplete nor interrupted but an outstretched hand. My younger brother uses these a lot with me, probably because he, of all the members of my...

I wonder if this is why the Internet is currently controlled by private companies. Private companies don’t have to honor fundamental rights.
However, since the US Supreme Court recently ruled that money is equivalent to free speech, thereby giving corporations the right...

Here’s how I might have explained part of why the economy still stinks: The government doesn’t have any money because the wealthiest Americans have decided it’s better to keep that wealth than to spend it for the common good.
Here is the single demand I...

John McCain is a giant fucking bigot and, despite the fact that we are now a decade in to the 21st Century, old, white American men are still scared of boys kissing boys.
Here are some things John McCain said today, via Salon, Dave Holmes, Huffington Post, and my ears/eyes.

By Robert Reich:
Unless the President and Democrats explain why the economy still stinks for most Americans and offer a plan to fix it, the Republican explanation and solution – it’s big government’s fault, and all we need do is shrink it – will prevail.
That will mean more hardship for tens of millions of Americans. It will make it harder to remedy the bad economy. And it will set...
