Shut-up Stupid Sunday: Attack of Eddie Munster

Romney has named Eddie Munster look-a-like Paul Ryan as his VP pick.

The best thing I can say about Paul Ryan is he looks like Eddie Munster. Seriously, Ryan's vision for the country is so horrible if I made him the villain in one of my books I wouldn't believe it.

I realize there are some people that fear socialism so much they have the “destroy the village to save it” mentality, but really, Paul Ryan?

Even if you are worried that a minimal social safety net, Medicaid, Social Security, Education Grants, Food Stamps, ect will lead to socialism, look at what Paul Ryan wants for the country. He wants to destroy all the gains we have made in the past 100 years.

So to everyone who even thought of voting for Romney, I say, “Shut-up Stupid. His pick of Eddie Munster look-a-like Paul Ryan as VP shows he is not Presidential material.”

Book Review: Allah's Revenge

Full Disclaimer: The author of this book, Pete Barber, is a critique partner of mine on Scribophile.

I consider myself fortunate to have read a lot of Pete Barber's work. There are somethings that he really excels at. Luckily he used those skills in Allah's Revenge.

Pete Barber has this ability to make characters that are both incredibly creepy and human at the same time. Nazar Eudon is the type of guy you want to strangle, but you do see as a full person. A creepy person, but someone you might unfortunately meet.

Another one of Pete's skills is continually increasing the tension. As the book goes on the stakes grow higher, both personally and worldwide. He skillfully weaves these two together leaving the reader worried for both the individuals and the world. It would be easy to have one overpower the other, but he balances it nicely.

One trend in modern science fiction that I love is showing how technology is a double edged sword. The same technology that can end all of human poverty and suffering, can also end all of human life. That theme runs through Allah's Revenge.

Overall Allah's Revenge is an exciting techno-thriller that moves quickly. It uses the entire world as it's stage, but stresses the personal danger that the well rounded characters are in. It's very easy to lose yourself in the world Pete Barber has created.

Allah's Revenge Extended Description:

Dawud, an Arab genius, creates a nanotechnology weapon capable of destroying the human race, yet small enough to conceal in a hint of perfume.

Recruited by Allah’s Revenge, a Palestinian terrorist organization, he triggers worldwide panic when his weapon suffocates the passengers on a crowded London train in ninety seconds, filling their lungs with hard, black charcoal.

Quinn, an English detective, is first on the scene. A British journalist has a link to the terrorists, and Quinn uses him as bait to flush them out.

When their demands are not met, Allah’s Revenge wipes out the world leaders attending the G20 summit in South Korea, including the US Vice President.

Quinn tracks the terrorists to their lair in Jerusalem and seems to have the weapon under control, but then it is unleashed in Phoenix, Arizona, and Quinn needs all his wits and courage to prevent a horde of nanobots from decimating America.

Shut-up Stupid Sunday: Having all Porn Channels Disabled

I read about a group that is asking hotels to have all the porn channels disabled. What a bunch sickos, when I stay in hotels I want regular porn!

I didn't read the article, so I'm not sure why these people want to force their kink for disabled porn (differently-abled porn?) on the rest of us. Turning all the porn channels into disabled porn is a horrible idea. I don't want to take away these peoples enjoyment of disabled porn, as long its done between consenting handy-capable (handy-job capable?) adults. I can see if that's what they are into, a channel just for them would be fine, but to make them all disabled porn is going to far.

I think it's fine if people want to watch adult performers consensually playing out a persons kink, no matter how strange. But when they want to get rid of all other choices that interferes with my enjoyment.

So to the people who want to have all the porn channels disabled, I say, “Shut-up Stupid, I don't force you to watch my lesbian, threeway, pegging, latex, S&M, B&D, TGIF, WTF, BYOB, TBA, LOL, BRB, sex videos so don't force me to watch your disabled porn videos.”
