escapefromhell1My review of the Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle’s novel
Escape from Hell
the sequel to his work from the 70’s Inferno is available at Amazon.com here.

One thing you will find in the book that I didn’t mention in the review is the amount of red meat there is for conservatives like myself. From professional victims to the sympathizers to radical feminists, radical environmentalists we see them all. If you are on the right you can’t help but like this book. For the left there is J. Edgar Hoover converted to a demon named Pink Talon. I have to admit that was really funny.

This is very much worth your money. I’d advise picking up Inferno first.

Cops and Doughnuts gotta love it.

If this story doesn’t make you smile you haven’t been paying attention:

The sergeant, who trains correctional officers at the Walworth County Jail, is the world’s cop doughnut eating champion for the third time.

The 17 doughnuts he downed in three minutes to win this year’s championship April 22 also set a cop doughnut-eating record. Sawyers has won the championship more times than anybody—three out of the six annual contests.

You have to like people who are willing to poke fun at themselves.

They were trumped by a dose of real life and errands. Add to that a great book (The case for Christ). My discovery of the very fun variant of Civilization Beyond the Sword (Defense), a few family squabbles and posting just takes last place.

I didn’t even get to see Ellsbury steal home against the Yanks.

BTW impressive as that is do you know that a Young Rod Carew stole home seven times in one season?
