Recommended Eyeball Resters
I enjoy The Sandman, a comic book published by DC, and written by Neil Gaiman. It's very well written and the story is dense with resonances to myth and legend. Annotations for every issue are available. While The Sandman has finished it's run, it is available in trade paperback editions.
Other good comics that I read include
Tales of the Beanworld (see my Beanworld MtG expansion), Tom Strong,
and Cerebus.
I have a whole site about Science Fiction author Gene Wolfe. Check it out, especially my blog news page. I also recommend Cordwainer Smith and Charles Williams for some of the more mind-bending speculative fiction available.
Theological Writings
Some papers I wrote for a seminary class at Philadelphia Theological Seminary (Reformed Episcopal) taught by Ray Sutton are available here. The latter was a paper I did for myself, to give to my session.
Environmentalists want to do whatever it takes to make sure we don't harm the environment.
Cheap oil leads us to waste it and not invest in alternative energy.
Oil prices are "mysteriously" high, and "speculators" are blamed, and politicians want to investigate to find who's responsible.
What if a well-funded cabal of environmentalists is buying up all the oil futures, paying higher and higher prices just to make sure the price is high. And they will just take the oil off the market and store it somewhere.
Did you hear about that Buddhist couple who're never more than 15 feet apart? Well, we tried it. - By David Plotz and Hanna Rosin
