    Flushing Away the Year Gone By
    • By Leo W. Banks
      • It feels like we’re gonna have to flush 10, 15 times to get rid of all of this year’s backed-up stupidity. Once again, correspondent Leo W. Banks has read through the news and remembers—hopefully for the last time—the mooks, malcontents and madmen of 2019 before it all swirls away.

    • By Leo W. Banks
      • If we are really building a Space Force, can the current occupant of the White House lead the charge into the final frontier?

Our year-in-review starts in 5…4…3…2…1…blast-off!

    • By Leo W. Banks
      • Brash Books just published my first novel, Double Wide. I wrote the first version of it in the 1980s. What are we looking at here—more than three decades? Sounds about right.

  • 2016: What a Bust!

    • By Leo W. Banks and Jim Nintzel
      • 2016 is nearly over and you'll find plenty of lists of the so-called Top Stories of the Year. We, on the other hand, have spent the year reading the newspapers, browsing the online sites and watching the TV news to collect what can only be described as the Bottom Stories of the Year.
