NOTHING WILL FIX THE PAPER THAT LIED ABOUT THE HOLODOMOR*:   The New York Times and the “$5 Rule”.

*It’s revolting no spell check recognizes that word, while recognizing all the names of Soviet Leaders.

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE BEING MEAN. BESIDES, HE HAD IT COMING:  Out of Ammo.

Yes, I do realize it’s like shooting a lame rat in a barrel. But the lame rat was being snooty in my general direction. (Even if he didn’t know it.)

SURE, WITH SOME QUIBBLES:  Tax the Hollywood Hypocrites. Virtue signalling commies should get a taste of their medicine.

The quibbles being: cut small writers/businessmen some slack. Most of the pulp writers plain forgot to renew copyrights, because they were writing 10 books a year, raising families and trying to make the rent. A lot of us live like that. Don’t hit us because you want to hit Hollywood. (Colorado has tax code thing to “catch” doctors and lawyers that unfortunately means taxing all self employed hard.)
Second: while my kids can make their own money, and don’t get me started on my putative, hypothetical grandkids, (trust funds destroy people. Not that I make money worthy of that, anyway) let me say that yeah, I could be gone tomorrow, but given family longevity 40 years isn’t out of the question. I know all writers slow with age. I’d just hate to hit 80 or 90 and not be entitled to anything from the long tail, because the copyright has expired.

YES, “HOSTAGE PUPPIES” DO SUFFER UNWARRANTED JEOPARDY:  Hostage Puppy vs Hostage.  Some critical differences.

But they need to kick the Stockholm syndrome and find other ways to survive. No one is obligated to finance evil just to fund your just cause.
