My new book news, the occasional virtual book tour stop, art and music, and film and T.V. stuff. Oh, and the occasional personal rant, too. We'll dabble in all of it from time to time, once in a blue moon, or possibly hardly ever at all. Life as we know it is a crap shoot, so why shouldn't this blog be? But the floor is always open to ideas and commentary.

Lately, the Internet has been abuzz about the future of the hit show, Duck Dynasty, and the fact that one of its stars, Phil Robertson, has been suspended from filming indefinitely because of comments he made about gays and blacks. Well, for the comments he made about gays, anyway. For many, the comments were offensive and, as a result, Mr. Robertson is on the hot seat. Deservedly so? Not for me
