Commented on CASE NIGHTMARE BLONDE, Part 2
How does a post-Brexit Scotland independence movement get around the fact that Spain will never allow such a nation into the EU; will at the very least provide decades worth of roadblocks and obstruction?...
Commented on Someone please cancel 2019 already?
Trying to keep money out of politics is like draining the ocean, not going to happen unless you end up getting rid of money or getting rid of politics first. Better to harness it. Unlimited donations, with transparency, and taxed...
Commented on Rise Of The Trollbot
It occurs to be that online acquaintances met while gaming (particularly, in the sort of games in which coordination through voice chat is the norm) are more likely to be human, and this is likely to remain the case for...
Commented on Towards a taxonomy of cliches in Space Opera
Most planets have populations in the single-digit millions, usually spread over a dozen or so cities, but are somehow able to maintain successful economies of any given level of technology. Then there's that one planet with trillions or quadrillions somehow...
Commented on Who Got Fantasy in My Science Fiction?
The real thing about Psi is, well, apart from the uses that are now largely obsoleted by cell phones and instant messaging, what we are left with is telekinesis, which was always even more scientifically stupid than even the rest...

JH commented on CASE NIGHTMARE BLONDE, Part 2
Do I think I know better than Republican insiders what is likely to happen? No. But do I think these political tealeaves actually represent what any of them, including Flake, really would do in the cold light of day? Like anyone else, including a lot of posters here, when Senators get annoyed, which they all certainly are at this point, hot air gets blown around. Especially when comments are made over Courvoisier and Absolut. I think it may be true that Flake himself would vote to impeach Trump if there were a secret ballot, and maybe even if there is...

If there were any reliable way of doing it, I'd be willing to bet quite a lot of money that will not happen. You're in luck....
Rick Moen commented on CASE NIGHTMARE BLONDE, Part 2
JH, I'm just a tiny bit disappointed, because I was hoping for at least a begrudging acknowledgement that your continually repeated assertion that 'Getting to 2/3rds is mathematically impossible' (stated in a variety of wording) was in fact bushwah, that you had been talking out /dev/ass every time you made that confident assertion. Instead, you are now just dropping that rather dumb and totally innumerate debating point, and deflecting. And some of that deflecting is pretty disgusting, like suggesting that the views of Senators (and Arizona ex-Senator Jeff Flake, whom you appear unable to quite understand is retired from the...

I just finished the first of the Cities in Flight novels. I don't think I'll be reading any more. I have never really enjoyed reading anything by Blish. Ah, well. Back to MV....
