For most of the past two-and-a-half years, I’ve been alone. Tonight, for the first time in a very long time, I noticed. I figure that’s probably a good sign.

You need to get a “day pass” to Salon to read this entire article: Salon.com News | The atheist It’s an interview with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. The day pass is free. You just have to sit through an ad. And it’s worth it. I think Dawkins qualifies as one of the bravest men on […]

The *Hard Time: Season 2* #3 script is finished. Next week, the editor of the book — the ever-forbearing Joan Hilty — and I will engage in our ritual monthly gladiatorial match over plot points, characterizations, speech patterns, and what does and does not constitute gratuitous obfuscation.
