The Bastard Returns Monday

I've received a couple of calls from regular readers wondering about the paucity of posts this week in Feathered Bastard. And no, I'm not in rehab or dead. Yet.Rather, I've been hard at work on a special project for my editor, one commanding almost all of my time this week...

I've received a couple of calls from regular readers wondering about the paucity of posts this week in Feathered Bastard. And no, I'm not in rehab or dead. Yet.

Rather, I've been hard at work on a special project for my editor, one commanding almost all of my time this week.

And, as fate would have it, I have some family issues to reckon with this weekend, which will also monopolize my energies, alas.

In any case, the Bastard returns -- full force -- on Monday, delivering wrath and retribution onto the heads of nativists, wingnuts, corrupt politicos, and anyone else who deserves a verbal beat down.

Till then, I thank all friends and foes for the continued patience. Come Monday, we return to battle, with mercy neither asked for, nor given.
