| The Commonwealth Publications Saga Part III: Implosion | | 2008-05-23 11:36:00 | | We returned from Chicago with an air of confidence and success. C.P. had made some important business deals and, more importantly, soothed the nerves of some very skeptical authors (the company cash cows).The afterglow didn’t last long, however. The proverbial ‘red flags’ soon began to appear. The volume of complaints from authors steadily grew; the production backlog became the elephant in the room, and uncertainty over company funds became fodder for water cooler chat.Then on August 31, 1997, an event occurred that signaled the beginning of the end.The morning after Princess Diana died on that fateful Paris night we were summoned for a general meeting. Phelan had decided that we couldn’t miss an opportunity to capitalize on our good fortune – we did, after all, have Diana’s very own step-grandmother, Dame Barbara Cartland, under contract – and announced that all C.P. titles in the production queue would be put on hold indefinitely.

Hansen was called in to relieve Lopez, and he allowed a single to the number 9 hitter, Quiroz, and a walk to Roberts to load the bases. Bye bye Hansen. Zero outs recorded...maybe you should consult Ah-nold again...soon! And then the Darkman was lit up like fireworks on the Fourth of July, a regular starburst cluster in the night sky. Okie gave up a monster grand slam slugged by Payton, and the game was effectively over. Okie has now allowed eleven out of fourteen inherited r... | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |
| | Anti-Gun Implosion | | 2007-08-24 04:00:00 | | I've been following the events at the Huffington Post over the past couple of days, and I have to say it's pretty funny. I love to see anti-gunners turn on each other, and that's exactly what's happened with Josh Sugarmann from the Violence Policy Center and anti-gun Rep. Carolyn McCarthy. It all started out when Sugarmann wrote about my blogs, "It's Not a Gun Control Bill" parts one and two, from back in June. Sugarmann believes me when I say the new NICS improvement bill isn't a gun-control...(read more)... | | By: An American Warning | | |
