If you like my fiction writing (or if you hate my political writing and assume it’s all fiction), then I’m pleased to let you know that the Laser and Sword Annual Edition is out featuring 9 short stories from our 3 Short Story serials:

Well, it’s that time again. There’s a point you get to on a Holiday weekend when you know that writing anything is pointless unless you is pointless. Nobdoy will read it.
So, I’ll just wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
This year, we have many materials blessings to be thankful for. I have [...]

Regarding Senator Jim Risch (R-ID) calling for Fort Hood prosecutors to seek indictment for killing the 14th victim, the unborn child of one of the other victims, Alan asks:
Conservatives will applaud this, of course, which is why Risch is doing it. But geez, there are already 13 counts of murder; [...]
Kevin Richert wants to know if you really want the newspaper to be a watchdog or do they just say they do:
Reading both stories as objectively as I can — even though I’m a Statesman editor, albeit one with no say over news coverage — both stories pass my watchdog [...]
I’ve been asked several times where I stand on the Governor’s Primary between Governor Otter, Commissioner Sharon Ullman, and Rex Rammell.
We need a Governor, who’ll bring needed reforms to our state and tackle tough issues in education, and bring some real reform, and put our state on the road to [...]
Let us now consider the points that Bryan Fischer has made regarding Muslims in the Military:
1) Islam and Christianity are fundamentally different, based on their founders.
2) The more devoutly someone practices Islam, the more likely they are to go on a killing spree.
3) Members of the Islamic faith who [...]
Rep. Walt Minnick told the Moscow Daily-News regarding going back to Congress for another term. It’s no biggie:
“I would like to go back. If I don’t, that’s not the end of the world.”
(Hat Tip: The Political Game.)
I wonder if Minnick told that to Barney Frank and friends when [...]
The Idaho Conservative Blogger got an audience or at least an e-mail audience with my Congressman Mike Simpson and they asked about a somewhat caustic remark I wrote last month:
Well, Simpson is so confident, he’s done the political equivalent of walking out on the battlefield in t-shirt and gym [...]
The media made a big deal out of Congressman Sali’s issues with the FEC, which later turned out not to be his fault.
Well Congressman Simpson seems to have run into a little bit of a problem as he received a Disavowal notice from the FEC for not filing a [...]

My latest column is out:
Michael Moore has been bashing capitalism, its excesses, and its lack of concern for workers and their exploitation. A story that backs Moore up comes from a reliable source. It’s a story of naked capitalism ignoring the rights of workers and arbitration.
A farmer had some [...]
I receive many fundraising letters everyday, and usually I ignore them. However, I received a very important letter from Stanton Healthcare, a medical clinic focusing on the needs of young women facing unexpected pregnancies.
The way Stanton raises money to a great extent is through baby bottle fundraisers. They go [...]
It’s time to do an early comparison of Conservative Congressional Candidate Chick Heileson and Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) in the realm of Social Media.
Chick Heileson has more than 200 people in Facebook Group.
Mike Simpson-um-uh-doesn’t seem to have a Facebook Group.
I guess you don’t need a Facebook group if you believe [...]
I wrote about attending a townhall meeting for Chuck Heileson on October 28. My impressions were generally positive, but I wasn’t impressed with Heileson’s answer on abortion. I’d asked if he was pro-life and got an answer that focused on what the Constitution said and that Roe v. Wade [...]
I went to listen to Randall O’Toole of the CATO Institute at an even hosted by the Idaho Freedom Foundation.
At the beginning of his talk, O’Toole gave some history of the Old Spaghetti Factory, where the meeting was being held. He’d worked at one in restoring a Street Car [...]
The only candidates I will support for high political office are those candidates who are pro-life. The purpose of governments is to secure peoples’ rights. If someone can’t be trusted to protect the rights of the unborn to life, which is basic, how can we even begin to hope they [...]
The following was submitted by Republican Congressional Candidate Vaughn Ward:
Today we honor the men and women who are serving and have served our country. Thanks to their dedication and sacrifice, we all live in the greatest free nation ever enjoyed in this world. No one has sacrificed more to preserve our Republic [...]
State Representative Ken Roberts wants Bill Sali to declare his intentions, because obvious Roberts hopes to capture Sali supporters and rally them to his side to beat Vaughn Ward:
“Bill probably enjoys all the press he’s getting, I guess, but it’d be nice if we’d just kind of ignore Bill [...]
Last night before passing the Obamacare bill, a bi-partisan majority including 176 Republicans and 64 Democrats voted to bar the use of federals funds in the Obamacare bill to subsidize abortion.
Idahoans would be interested noted that Congressman Walt Minnick (D-ID) voted against this amendment, which had the effect of incorporating [...]

My latest piece is up at Pajamas Media:
There are many messages that come out of New York’s 23rd congressional district race.
Yes, as a general rule it’s a good idea to work through the two-party system. The special circumstances of New York’s 23rd district, including the existence of a center-right [...]
Another city had some change on Tuesday. In my old home town of Kalispell, Montana, Mayor Pam Kennedy, a Democrat, though officially non-partisan lost her re-election bid by a nearly 2:1 margin. Bob Hafferman who is the fiscal eagle eye went unopposed. All of these events in isolation mean [...]
I have to admit that as a Boisean, that I look at local politics as Boise, Nampa, Meridian, and then everywhere else. But still, this story out of Pocatello is pretty amazing. Liberal blogger d2 over at 43rd State Blues declared of Pocatello Mayor Roger Chase last night:

It seems some folks are getting confused because a site I run has a similar name to a new blog that was set up.
First of all, welcome to the Idaho Conservative Blogger. We need a lot more conservatives blogging and it’s great to see another enter. In addition, Idaho Conservative [...]
My latest piece is up at Pajamas Media in which I take on the ACLU.
We’re past Halloween and approaching Christmas and gearing up for the biggest battles in the highest stakes contact sport there is. No, we’re not talking about college football’s bowl season. Rather, ’tis the season for [...]
Virginia Governor: A huge win for the GOP and a rejection of anti-Christian politics in the Democrats attempt to attack Bob McDonnell for social conservatism.
New Jersey: Proof that not every election can be bought. Christie’s not a hard right guy, but he’s probably more conservative than any governor, New Jersey’s [...]
The Boise City elections are over. All three candidates I endorsed, lost. I don’t use endorsements as a way to make election predictions. I’m not trying to win a prize in the endorsements I offer. Rather, I endorse candidates who represent the type of values I believe them and will [...]
Marcher Lord Select has begun to register people to vote in the Marcher Lord Select contest, billing itself as the American Idol of Christian book publishing.

Andrea and I went to vote early today. The polling place wasn’t dead like 2007, but it wasn’t teaming with people. We cast our votes for Lucas Baumbach, Dan Dunham, and Dave Litster.
I’d urge everyone to do the same.
