From little big man to big little man and the lessons learned
Over at Shotgun Honey, Thomas Pluck has a wrenching short vignette on bullying. It’s short – go give it a read. I can wait . . . Great, huh? So here’s the deal. Tom’s coughing up five bucks to an anti-bullying organization for every comment you leave over at Shotgun Honey. Make him pay. I’ll tell you what. Leave a comment here and I’ll cough up five bucks, too. Thing is, I know bullying. I start
Quod me nutrit me destruit. Who cares? Eat hearty and damn the consequences
I’m currently reading a biography of the Elizabethan dramatist Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare’s contemporary whose reputation is largely blotted out by the Bard’s considerable shadow. Marlowe died young, so he doesn’t have Shakespeare’s expansive oeuvre, but back in the day, his The Jew of Malta, Tamburlaine and The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus were big hits, right up
How Amazon is cheating in its fight against your local bookstore
I don’t have a book on the market yet, so I don’t officially have a dog in the Amazon-versus-independent booksellers fight yet. But I like to think I will someday, so maybe I have dog fetus. You’ve heard the basic arguments, I suppose. Independent booksellers are the guardians of our reading culture – local businesspeople who care deeply about the titles they stock, staffed with book lovers that
To thine own self be true – Why I won’t be self-publishing
Nothing to do with self-publishing, but hey, it's the holidays I’ll be clear up front. I’ve got nothing against self-publishing per se. I’ve seen examples of kick-ass writers who couldn’t break through the traditional gatekeepers, but who built huge audiences online and either then have continued down that route to a new kind of publishing fame and fortune, or who then have signed blockbuster

Christmas Is No Time to Talk About War and Peace
Christmas Is No Time to Talk About War and Peace truthout Sunday 25 December 2011 by: , When I heard the president speak to returning troops last week, my mind flashed back to an article I once wrote for our local newspaper. Each week, a different member of the local clergy would write a column, and I had been asked to write the piece for Christmas. That year, all I could hear was the drumbeat l

The Dictator
The Great Dictator is a comedy film by Charlie Chaplin released in October 1940. Like most Chaplin films, he wrote, produced, and directed, in addition to starring as the lead. Having been the only Hollywood film maker to continue to make silent films well into the period of sound films, this was Chaplin’s first true talking picture as well as his most commercially successful film.[1] More import
The Republicans: They Are Who We Thought They Were
Addicting Info December 16, 2011 By Bryian Revoner After watching this latest Republican Debate on Fox News, one thing becomes clear, and that is the very real split between the insane and the reasonable. For whatever reason, there just does not seem to be any middle-ground in this GOP nomination grouping or the conservative trademark overall. This is why the conservative voters have had such a

Strait of Hormuz Heats Up – False Flag Possibility Increasing
Iran has warned the United States it will take action if an American warship returns to the Persian Gulf. It left the area when Iran started its 10-day naval war games, during which they successfully test-fired a number of different missiles. But Russia’s defence ministry says that despite the latest military exercise, the Iranians don’t have the technology to make intercontinental ballistic missi

Republicans Across The U.S. Are Trying To Disenfranchise Voters – What Are You Going To Do About It?
In case you haven’t been paying attention, Republicans in some state legislatures have been trying valiantly to make it harder for people to vote by chipping away at long-standing policies that have traditionally made it easier to vote and sneaking in policies that the Federal government thought they abolished long ago.

A Christmas Lesson
A few weeks ago I took my 4 year old son Christmas shopping. At the church we attend, our family participates in a yearly charity sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse called “Operation Christmas Child”. We pack a shoe box with a variety of gifts, which is sent to children in “Third World” countries. I pack one for a boy while my wife packs one for a girl. I took my son to help me pick out the gifts.

“Silencing of the Black Conservative” by Lisa Fritsch
Op-ed submission by Project 21 Glenn Beck was more ahead of his time than I realized in 2009 when he aired his first program to prove the existence of black conservatives. Despite Beck’s assistance, we remain largely unseen on the news channels. As a black conservative advocate of how blacks should (and, in many instances, do) embrace conservative values for more than a decade, the media does not

2011: a year of change in a decade of change
2011 was a year of change in a decade of change. The UK It’s been obvious since before the 2010 general election that the coming decade was likely to involve big constitutional changes in Britain: Scotland might leave the UK, the UK might leave the EU, the electoral system for the commons might change, or the House of Lords would be elected using a PR system. The probablility of each of these chan

Year in review: The top ten good news stories of 2011
Sometimes it seems Muslims can’t get a break, and 2011 was no exception. The "creeping sharia" paranoia in the US continued unabated (despite any evidence that there is any real threat of sharia law supplanting the Constitution) with the passage and/or introduction of anti-sharia legislation in over 20 states, and alleged threats posed by Muslim Americans were brought up at nearly every Republica
Muslims & Christmas: Santa Claus is coming to town - not
When I was a kid, I - like millions of other children across America - ardently believed in Santa Claus. The problem? That persnickety detail that I'm Muslim. Oh, and that I happened to be living in Saudi Arabia at the time. There I was, in a desert nation, mere miles from Mecca, the birthplace of Islam, captivated by mistletoe, turtledoves, Christmas lights, and outlandish accounts of reindeer wi
"All-American Muslim" controversy: A litmus test
Talk to anyone in the Muslim-American community, and they are bound to give you a different take on TLC’s new, and now controversial show “All-American Muslim.” Some say that the show hits the nail right on the head in its portrayal of the entire spectrum of Muslims – from ultra-liberal, to moderate to orthodox. Conversely, many criticize the show as not being representative of the American Musl
Religion & politics: From Iowa to Cairo
Guess where in the world candidates for political office are pandering to religious conservatives, using religious imagery in political advertisement and participating in political forums in houses of worship? Where some voters are unwilling to support candidates because they do not belong to the majority faith, dismissing a candidate because they are women, and using religious purity as a litmus
Arab League Enters Syria as Violence Rises. Syria’s Deficit Spending Explodes but Government Hangs On
Arab League monitors are visiting a number of restive Syrian towns and cities, including Hama, Idleb, and Deraa. Though Syria has made some concessions to the monitors since they began work Tuesday, government forces have at the same time been pressing ahead with attempts to put down peaceful protests in Hama, Homs and other parts of the country. Activists said at least 39 people have been killed
Suicide Bombing Changes Nature of the Syrian Revolution
From Foreign Affairs Two suicide bombs outside of government security locations in Damascus killed 40 civilians and soldiers and wounded 100 according to Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad — as reported by the government’s Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).

Opposition Meets in Tunisia as Arab Observers Enter Syria and Deathrate Rises
As the economic situation in Syria deteriorates steadily and the death-rate rises with an increasingly militant opposition, there seems no resolution in sight to the fighting in Syria. The Arab League is sending observers to report on the violence, but it is unclear whether they will act as a balm or catalyst to the conflict. Both regime supporters and opposition may well try to demonstrate wherev

Stay for the work not the perks
This is a revelation that came to me when I recently quit my comfy corporate job for the second time. If you are below 40 and some one asks you about how is your job going and your answer is not in tune of “I like my job because I love the work”. You need to pause and asses your career, last time I answered this question my answer was “I like the job, because the benefits are good”, and that made

The Best Iowa Caucus Result Would Be More Hard Work To Keep Those Folks Out Of The White House

I have selected this blog–Texas Liberal–as Blog of the Year for 2011. Loyal readers may recall that two years ago I chose this blog as Blog of the Decade. It seems a bit egotistical to award myself the Blog of the Decade title again so early in this current decade. It is only 2011. So I’ll hold off on that for now.

The Ron Paul Effect
On balance, I view Ron Paul as a good thing. I view myself as a libertarian and, in many ways, my criticisms of Ron Paul are that he is a more consistent libertarian than me. I want to see government provide health and welfare services, and run natural monopolies. But much more importantly, Ron Paul is infinitely more consistent than the vast majority of those who label themselves “libertarian”

A hopeful article in the Guardian claims that peace discussions between the US and Taliban have reached the stage where the Taliban may open a political office in Qatar to conduct negotiations, and that some of their leaders may be released from Guantanamo.

Railways are a natural monopoly. There is no genuine competition between providers. For many people, the privately owned railway service is the only practical way to get to work.

2012 – Year of Crash and Opportunity
I predict a very substantial fall in UK house prices in 2012 – and that will be a very good thing. Average house prices currently stand at over 6 times average earnings. That compares to a long term average since 1945 of under 4, which charts show to be the norm. People simply cannot afford to buy homes at six times their earnings. People living on average earnings, and paying the high rents s

A Future History
Predictions about the future of technology are so often wide of the mark, yet for many of us they’re irresistible. They fuel our passion for science fiction and the expansive philosophy of thinkers like Olaf Stapledon.

by Marc Millis Here is a holiday gift from Tau Zero as compiled by TZF’s founding architect Marc Millis. It’s part of Marc’s continuing effort to find earlier references to the interstellar concepts — many of them in fiction — that we routinely ponder today. Some of these go back to the early 20th Century and in some cases the 19th. Compilations like this are always works in progress, as we found
