You’d better read The Captain’s Quarters today.

I was planning to write about an incident that has occurred this past month, but have been so busy dealing with attorneys, depositions, information, etc. I just don’t have time this evening.  I plan to go into the problem extensively sometime in the next day or two.  The bottom line is this:  We need to create legislation that puts an end to third party collections, collection agencies, and zombie collections.  I am spending hours fighting a third party law-suit.  To add insult to injury I’m now being hounded by a zombie debt collector over a disputed AT&T bill that was settled (I was right) a decade ago.  I must now stop and write a cease and desist letter, then contact all the credit agencies. I’ve been attorney shopping for three weeks.  (It’s not a big deal, but could end up costing me several thousand dollars).  I finally ended up right back here in Ruidoso with just the right person who takes the whole problem seriously.  I’m not quite sure the direction to take, but many people have had their lives and reputations ruined by legal extortion.  It needs to end. 

My business site, Wyatt Earp Books, is finally up and half-way running.  It has links and information to my books. 

I am having serious problems with this hanging of Saddam.  I don’t believe in the death penalty except for treason, when I think a person ought to be shot on sight. I just don’t know how I feel about this one. 

Malkin has the low-down on that photo of Kerry dining alone, and the uproar that it may be a fake.  Bottom-line here, it’s fairly certain the photo is not bogus. 

Strata-Sphere has more on the Litvinenko incident. 

There is more on the break-away Parishes in Virginia.  Once again I think good minded conservatives have been manipulated and have been made to look bad.  Father Jake Stops the World has a link to even additional information  I keep repeating myself, I know, but surely Fred Barnes has investigated Akinola.  If I can find out what he is, why not others, but then I have noticed the same problem when we are dealing with the anti-immigration people.  I was talking to my friend Leroy today as he scalped me (looks good).  I presented my theory that Akinola is so horribly homophobic because he fears himself.  Leroy mentioned that it has always been his observation that people who are extreme in their anti-homosexual views are terrified of their own sexuality and the fact that have these tendencies.  We also had a discussion about gays/lesbians and marriage.  Funny, but Leroy, who has been in a committed relationship since junior high (seriously) dislikes promiscuity as much as do I.  He views promiscuity as a sin. 

Yesterday I wrote about animal-rights do-gooders an what is going on Key West at the Hemmingway House.  “I have no patience for animal rights do-gooders.  Because of the complaints of an animal rights activist on Key West, the famous Hemmingway cats have been spayed or neutered (she did it on her own without getting permission of the museum) the line is in danger of going extinct.  Also, the feds want to take the cats.  I think the museum should go after her for damages. “  I emailed the museum yesterday, also, and this is part of the response…
