“the other legacy of Dick Cheney: fiasco. The wars he wanted did not showcase American power. They put on display American weakness, avarice, futility and manic resource extraction” — Spencer Ackerman on Dick Cheney
“the other legacy of Dick Cheney: fiasco. The wars he wanted did not showcase American power. They put on display American weakness, avarice, futility and manic resource extraction” — Spencer Ackerman on Dick Cheney
All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

A lovely deep dive into the only s/f story my father Howard Rodman Sr. ever wrote: THE MAN WHO WENT TO THE MOON TWICE.
Published in Harlan Ellison’s seminal anthology DANGEROUS VISIONS, where it can be found cheek-by-jowl next to PKD’s FAITH OF OUR FATHERS.
Proud of my dad and grateful to Harlan.
