From this week's view:
"The public employees union bussed in thousands to Springfield Illinois to protest any adjustments to state employee pensions and wages. Our Masters show their strength. This will continue. Rush Limbaugh gives us the image of a tick demanding that you feed the dog more..."

Eventually the ticks kill the dog.

Since Jerry and I are both in SIGMA, I get to see what he really thinks, sometimes several times a day.

The Chaos Manor posts are comparitively tame. SIGMAns in general don't mind letting each other know what they really think.

Love Jerry Pournelle's writing. I especially love the books he wrote with Larry Niven. "Inferno" and the "Mote in God's eye" were particularly good.

One of the best afternoons I ever had was the end of a con in NJ with Jerry cutting loose all afternoon.
