Taken for grant-ed...one Zimbabwe or another

Got my annual rejection letter from the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) yesterday. Save the mocking laughter...I actually got a fellowship in non-fiction literature from NYFA in 1997. Guess I should just learn to be patient and simply wait for the good folks who dole out those infamous MacArthur Genius Grants to come to their senses.

Is it me or is there a suspicious number of democratic (sic) revolutions (sic) these days? And they come in more colors than the Department of Homeland Security terror code.

With Zimbabwe being one the nations suddenly on America’s democratic (sic) hit list, my go-to guy is Greg Elich, author of the forthcoming book, “Strange Liberators: Militarism, Mayhem and the Pursuit of Profit.” I’m currently interviewing him for a little context on the recent elections. Watch for the result early next week.

Got my computer yesterday but haven’t even had time to open the box. I expect to give the installation a whirl on Saturday. And speaking of having-no-time, I apologize to those who ordered copies of my books. I’m typically far more efficient than this. The post office here has perpetual lines out the door (this is not an exaggeration)...but I promise to get the books in the mail today.
