Various readers have asked why I don’t liven things up with pictures or video. If only I could! But to do that, I would have to master the art of “cut and paste,” or whatever it’s called.
I just can’t. I’ve tried and tried. Different people have tried to teach me, to no avail. It’s worse than high school chemistry. I follow their instructions and nothing happens.
You have no idea, folks, how frustrating this is.
Several readers have told me they can’t figure out how to post a comment on this blog. Well, I think I’ve just discovered how to do it.
At the bottom of each article, in annoyingly faint grey print, you will find the words, “Leave a Comment.” All you have to do is click it, and you get a box for your comment.
If there already are one or more comments, the grey-print message will be, for example, “2 Comments.” If you click that, you’ll get a box for your comment.
It’s so simple, even I can do it. In fact, after I post this piece, I will leave a comment on it. Then the message will read, “1 Comment,” and the rest is up to you.
I’ll be the guest of Mike and Tim tomorrow on RIGHT Spokane Perspective, 9 a.m. Pacific Time, 12 noon Eastern, discussing my books and the need to sock it to the Dems in the coming election.

My voice isn’t much for aesthetic quality, but I hope you’ll be interested in what I have to say.
While teachers’ unions, the ACLU, and the rest of the gang frantically labor to protect America’s children from Jesus and the Bible, a pair of 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin tried to stab a third girl to death–as a sacrifice to a fictional character called Slender Man. The Guardian provides the best coverage of the story ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/04/slender-man-online-character-wisconsin-stabbings ).
The victim clings to life, no thanks to her little friends, who did their best to kill her.
Slender Man is a kind of monster, created just for fun and entertainment. I was amazed to discover there is a whole Slender Man subculture out there. This thing was only invented a few years ago, and it’s already spawned at least one attempted murder.
Oh, well… as long as they’re protected from the Sermon on the Mount, who cares what else fills the vacuum?
About that contest–
I’d better put my own comments up here for the time being, so that I don’t accidentally win my own contest by posting the 2,000th comment.
A reader has suggested that I sign the book to be given as a prize. Can do.
Another has suggested I offer Bell Mountain instead of The Palace, because Bell Mountain is the first book in the series.
Sorry, no can do. I’m just about out of copies of this book, whereas my supply of The Palace has hardly been touched.
Anyhow, buying Bell Mountain won’t break anybody’s bank, the paperback is currently offered at half-price, and from time to time the Kindle version will be offered at no cost at all, by amazon.com. And it would be nice for me to earn a little money, don’t you think?
I’ve been getting a lot of comments lately, closing in on No. 2,000; so I’ve decided to hold a contest.
To whoever turns out to be the lucky reader who posts that 2,000th comment, I will send a paperback copy of my latest book, The Palace.
Please try to make them witty, wise, and to the point. I won’t give the prize to any idle one-liner that doesn’t have anything to do with anything.
