This book has been such fun to write and launch, but it also brings some very compelling issues to the table. What happens when we invent machines that are smarter than we are? Will they serve us as our simpler machines do, or will the serve us…up? And what about alien-human hybrids. I cannot prove it, but I think that some very exotic genetic experimentation has gone on in this world, and at least some of it has been carried out by human beings, with bizarre results. Hybrids is like Majestic, Superstorm and the Grays–a "true fiction," a book that I believe contains some truths, but which I cannot prove. With Majestic, of course, I could easily prove the Roswell Incident now. But when it was written, not. It remains among the best histories of Roswell out there.read more

During the Bush administration, Dick Cheney said "deficits don’t matter." But as soon as those deficits were handed over to the Democrats, suddenly they did matter. In the long run, they certainly do, but the way to pay them back is not by cutting the budget during a recession. It is by letting the economy recover and paying them down with increased tax revenue. No need to raise taxes. In fact, they can be lowered as revenue increases from a healthy economy. Cutting now strikes us two blows: first, it takes needed liquidity out of the recovery; second it strengthens the dollar, making our exports less competitive. The elderly elected the Tea Party because they feared that Obamacare would ruin Medicare.read more
