If Thomas Paine were alive today, he'd be a blogger-- penniless, reviled, and often turning to drink like the rest of us.

Zimbabwe is a perfectly happy place because you don't have to worry about a job, food, health care, money, human rights, or the future--there isn't any.

Sounds like just one more author ordered by his publisher to start blogging. Not that I've had that experience.

Food price increases in developing nations have sparked riots and protectionist export bans that create even worse shortages (and higher prices) for net importers. Yet still we provide $37 billion in price supports for US growers of most of these commodities. Talk about lining up at the trough....

Here's a new author you'll like: Dave Diotalevi. His new book, Miracle Myx, has one of the most intriguing characters you'll ever encounter. He's Myx Amens, survivor of two near-death experiences, owner of a photographic memory, and victim(?) of a fascinating condition known as synesthesia. For the uninitiated, that means Myx experiences the world differently from you and me--he smells colors, sees sounds, and tastes the inner workings of the minds of the people he encounters. Very, very weird. But also very, very entertaining. These skills also come in handy when Myx goes about investigating unsolved murders like the ones that set off the plot in Miracle, Massachusetts. Full disclosure: Dave and I are both published by Kunati Books--but I'd recommend this book anyway.
