BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon radio show, Tuesday, December 19th, with media guest Dan Butcher

Posted on by

Featuring Right thinking from a left brain, doing the job the American Media Maggots won’t, embracing ubiquitous, sagacious perspicacity and broadcasting behind enemy lines in Occupied Fornicalia from the veritable Belly of the Beast, the Bill Mill in Sacramento, Fornicalia, I continue to proffer my thanks to the SHR Media Network for allowing me to utilize their studio and hijack their air twice weekly, Tuesdays and Thursdays, thanks to my shameless contract, as well as appear on the Sack Heads Radio Show each Wednesday evening.

My guest was the illustrious Dan Butcher of High Plains Media fame. He and I have been known to chat on Tuesdays and, as usual, I kept the topics hidden from Dan so that he can expound on them in a completely extemporaneous fashion. Unless I tell him what the topics are. But I usually don’t. That’s what makes it fun.

The topics covered in the Saloon included:

  • Christmas 2017: are you feeling it?
  • We discover: neither Dan nor BZ send out Christmas cards any more;
  • I read Kurt Schlichter’s article “Some Real Talk For Conservatives About 2018”;
  • Dan and I weigh in on certain salient points of the article;
  • Kurt hits it out of the park with his post, as he usually does;
  • Nikki Haley excoriates the UN — never would have occurred under HRC;
  • The GOP can pull things together;
  • Listen to the show for more.

A small solo vacation

Trek Navigator 2.0Over the numerous years, I have begun any number of book projects in terms of fiction.  I have manuscripts started on damned near every genre you can think of, to include science fiction, a trilogy of cop fiction (imagine that), suspense, mystery, western, military.

Since I now find myself with more time on my hands, having retired three months ago, I’ve decided to attempt to resume writing again.  Perhaps I can truly chug out something resembling some type of manuscript.  Perhaps something approximating a finished one.  Because, after all, you have to have something in existence if you even want to edit it.  Common Sense 101.

The interesting thing is, in the world of Tribbles and those associated with Hugh Hewitt and his radio show, there are those who are already published, like James Lileks.  Mr Lileks wrote for the Star Tribune, and now writes for Ricochet.  He has also published any number of ebooks readily available for download from Amazon.com.  His website is here.  His Amazon author page is here.  If there were — as an aside — anyone who deserves their own massively syndicated radio talk show, it would be the highly talented and intelligent James Lileks.  I would encourage everyone to click on each link I’ve presented here.  And no, James isn’t paying me one red rupee for this.  You will all be richly rewarded by reading James Lileks, however.

Similarly, I have also discovered that Major Bob is in the final stages of completing his historical fiction story of WWI, edited by DaveInAZ.  Aha.  A potential editor, yes?

I almost forgot Elgin Hushbeck, who has written about Social Justice.  Which I purchased.  Because I put my money where my philosophy is.  Many people know this.

That said for background — as my wife is on a work trip to Southern California once again (for the state) — I decided to travel for a like time to the Pacific Ocean and see if a writing chord can be struck and I can’t at least get a few chapters kicked out for Heaven’s Warchild.

Which all starts with the crash of an Airbus A-380, the largest commercial aircraft in the world.  And hasn’t yet crashed.  But I determined to start there because my wife had to fly down to SoCal in a Southwest 737 in turbulence, hates to fly, and it suggested to me that she isn’t alone in her fears.  One Airbus A-380 crash could easily kill 500 or more passengers, depending upon the carrier interior seat demand configuration.  Up to 853 people could be accommodated in an all-economy class configuration.

800 potential casualties per flight from one airframe.

I’m going to the ocean to write.  Right here on this same Sony Vaio laptop.  On probably the finest, most crisp, most responsive keyboard I’ve ever addressed on any confuser.

Why do I have a photo of a Trek Navigator 2.0 bicycle above?

Because it’s mine, and I’m bringing it with me in my Mercedes.

It just couldn’t be better.

On the road

HHRS TribbleFest Graphic 1Today is a driving day for ol’ BZ, as he is on an expedition to Southern Fornicalia in order to attend the 2015 TribbleFest, held in conjunction with the Hugh Hewitt radio show.

You see, if one enjoys listening to Hugh’s radio show either live over terrestrial radio or via various forms of streaming — and you participate in the chatroom — you have become a Tribble.  That is to say, a devotee of the show and a subscriber to the live video as well.

I am such an individual.

The interesting point is, as I’ve been a member of the Hughniverse for at least four years now, once you appear in the chatroom you meet a wide array of new people and hold any number of discussions with them.  Some threads become a tad heated, some threads have absolutely nothing to do with the topic on air at all.

As such, I have made a number of what I now consider to be good friends.  Now I’d like to meet them in person, along with Hugh Hewitt and his steadfast producer Duane Patterson — both mentioned, by the way, in more than one CJ Box novel.

I’m spending close to 12 hours on the road in order to attend the 2015 TribbleFest, which will feature at least one day in Disneyland this week — Disneyland now celebrating 60 years of fun.

I suspect I’ll possibly be posting videos and photographs here and perhaps you can begin to appreciate the good and kind persons I’ve only known through the chatroom.  I’m looking forward to meeting them all.

I-5 In LAExcuse me, I’ve got to go now, I need to pay attention to my driving, I’m about to take the Slauson cut-off.
