Week of April 19, 2009 - April 25, 2009

The grinning face of terror


Okay, you liberals, have your ho hos.  Take your cheap shots at a good man like Phil Musser.  Go ahead.  Stick the knife in.  Twist it.  It's all we expect of you, really.

I've never even been to Gitmo.  I don't need to go.  I know what's there. I know what Phil Musser saw when he looked on the other side of that fence -- he saw non-Christians.  He saw Arabs.  He saw foreigners.  He saw non-white people.  He saw people wearing funny clothes, with towels on their head.  TOWELS.  On their HEAD. 

He saw the enemy.  Oh, you namby pambies don't want to admit it, but that's it, that's all, that's everything. In a nutshell.  He saw people the black hats, the bad guys, the people who hate us, and why?  Because we're so tolerant and compassionate, that's why.  Or some of us are, anyway.  Who?  Not you liberals, that's for sure.

You sit there and you pass judgment about how quickly people like Phil Musser pass judgment but who are you to judge a man like Phil Musser?  A white man.  A Christian. An American.  A Republican.  Did Phil Musser pilot a hijacked airliner into an American skyscraper packed with innocent office workers?  No.  Of course not.  He's not that type of person.  But that type of person is what Phil Musser saw behind those fences at Gitmo.  And he knows it.  He knows what he saw.  And he knows what we have to do about it.

I say thank God for men like Phil Musser.  True Americans.  Heroes.  People who can stare non white unAmerican anti-Christian evil right in the face, recognize it for what it is, and then strap it to a board and pour hundreds of gallons of water down its throat without flinching.  Or order someone else to do it.  Or just stand by while someone else gives the orders to someone else to do it.  Whatever.

This is what it's going to take to win this crazy war.  You may not want to get your hands dirty.  But somebody has to.  Somebody... like Phil Musser.  Not Phil Musser himself, mind you, he's just passing through.  But someone a lot like him.  That's the kind of man we need.

  • Favorite Quotes "The four points of the compass be logic, knowledge, wisdom and the unknown. Some do bow in that final direction. Others advance upon it. To bow before the one is to lose sight of the three. I may submit to the unknown, but never to the unknowable. The man who bows in that final direction is either a saint or a fool. I have no use for either." - Roger Zelazny

Bio

Born in the heart of a nuclear explosion, DOC NEBULA came snarling into existence at the dawn of time, armed and armored to wage a war on entropy for the sake of all existence. Now, accompanied by that band of hard rocking scientists THE HONG KONG CAVALIERS, he races across the universe...

No, wait. That's some other guy entirely.

I'm starting again.

Snatched from limbo and brought wailing into Earthly existence in late 1961, DOC NEBULA quickly became a living legend among his peergroup, even though he would not think to call himself by the name "Doc Nebula" until decades later when he got his first online account and needed a screenname and all possible variations of "GiantMan" were already taken. (Sad but true. Doc is a big Hank Pym fan.)

In the early years of this incarnation, DOC was regarded with an awestruck admiration by his peer group that frankly bordered on religious worship, said awestruck admiration most commonly being manifested in the form of ridicule, public humiliation, and frequent beatings whenever an adult authority was not in the immediate vicinity to intervene.

Undaunted by this, DOC NEBULA escaped the horrors of childhood and entered the hallowed halls of Academe at prestigious SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY, back in the late 70s when the English Department had not yet been taken over by a pack of gumchewing idiots who threw out all the classes on Shakespeare and replaced them with seminars on People Magazine.

At SU, DOC excelled in his fields of study, quickly mastering such arcane arts as pizza consumption, sleep deprivation, keeping every square inch of floorspace covered at all times with pornography, empty pizza boxes, and old issues of Steve Engelhart's AVENGERS, and most importantly of all, how to schedule all his classes so he never had to get out of bed before 1 PM. (Not that he attended many of them anyway.)

Dropping out of college without a degree, DOC embarked on a nomadic existence, wandering from job to job, apartment to apartment, always seeking that effervescent and intangible something we all call Happiness, but which DOC likes to think of as an old Army duffle bag stuffed to the top with bulky bundles of 20s, 50s, and hundred dollar bills.

In 2005 Doc Nebula somehow tricked the most wonderful woman in the world into marrying him, making him the offical stepfather to the three most wonderful stepdaughters in the world, which is really quite enough for any man and more than most can brag, thank you very much.

He has written seven or eight novels, six of which are available in Kindle editions, a whole bunch of short stories, and does a whole lot of other geek related stuff you don't care about. Many of his book length works can be found at:

Universal Maintenance

Time Watch

Endgame

Earthquest

Warren's World

Warlord of Erberos

ZAP FORCE #1: ROYAL BLOOD

Novellas

The Fear Masters

Memoir:

In The Early Morning Rain
