Deep into final rework tweaking on Absolved: A Tale of the Three Percent.

Ban the Black Dog.

Probably no posts today, unless I need to to take a break or Eric Holder resigns.

Go do some Christmas shopping. . . Buy some more ammo for your two-year old. (A better investment you're unlikely to encounter at this juncture of history.) Spend some time with your family or your God. . . It's Christmas for Pete's sake.

Hang in your "éminence grise-ness". Speaking of Christmas shopping, done yours yet?; December 23, 2011 at 8:13 AM
SWIFT said...: Yes, it is Christmas and I'm remembering the reason for the season. After 65 years, I've come to realize that Santa is a phony and I'll never get my GE-GAU-2B/A minigun. Crushed! Totally crushed,I tell ya! I felt like I was on the receiving end of Erik Holder's Just-us department. But, lucky for me there's still the tooth fairy!

Seriously though, Merry Christmas to one and all.; December 23, 2011 at 8:24 AM

Merry Christ-mass to you and yours, and all God fearing Christians.
I hope you get enough peace, quiet, rest, and good health to be able to finish Absolved.
And the previous poster is right. Look into any of the e-book formats as well. I'd buy two copies, one "e" (Kindle fire dot mobi) and the other dead tree.

Eric III said...: I'm really interested in how the cover turned out :) That was a couple sexy ATF and Brightfire agents Oleg took photos of for it; December 23, 2011 at 11:49 PM
III More Than Them said...: The cover could be a FAB going off over the Brightfire barracks, and an arm in the cloud with a middle finger extended....; December 24, 2011 at 10:10 PM
aughtsix said...: Have a Blessed Christmas, Mike. The very best to you and your family.

Your devotion to country is without peer. My admiration and gratitude are boundless.

As to "Absolved," put me down for a First Edition, leather bound and signed, pleased!

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
