When Sam Walton's former attorney is widely described as "liberal," it's clear the ideological yardstick has shifted too far to the right.

Remember the heady fun of learning Deconstructive theory? I learned it in college, in the 1990s, and I delighted, then, in fathoming my locus as the "site of transgression" in various binarisms. The site of transgression used to be the locus of the good guys: Experimental writers and Marxists and queers and misfits of all stripes. But "degeneracy" doesn't feel quite so benign now that the "construct" of morality has brought us into a collapse of civil rights. I guess it could be argued that Bush is the "site of transgression" between morality and immorality, the thread to pull to deconstruct the construct. But, sadly, no one is pulling.

Congratulations! You write very compelling stories that should appeal to many lovers of fiction. This is long overdue!
Well, thanks, Anonymous!
This is such great news for any writer. The concrete validation is essential. And now you've got that step completed--you're a real professional
with bookwriting being part of your real vocation. Congratulations!
Thank you! It's an adjustment, that's for sure. I need to write an additional story for the collection and I've started it about 150 times and can't seem to write anything with the legs to travel more than one page. I'll try something for a couple of hours, trash it, brush my teeth (I have no idea why) and start the cycle over again. All I've gotten out of it so far is a set of very clean teeth.
