Staff Biographies

"Giving well is the best revenge."

Dominion: A Screed
Watch out! Our itinerant mystic, Mr. Chardo Blue Plains, stopped by long enough to drop off his latest thoughts, these from a few months the New Mexico's Sangre de Christo Mountains.

Yoicks R Us
Another of our free, public-service tests. Find out how your sense of humor is doing in these perilous pre-Apocalypse, pre-Rapture days.

Satellite Radio
One More Time
Sawyer Brown tries again to explain his over-the-top enthusiasm for satellite radio in his car.

Minds Like Ours
Ho-hum. Six more pretentious sentences, but when they come from our editor in chief, what can you do?

Eye Candy: the Sequel
We re-visit the world of beautiful, moving graphic images for your computer, in a wondrous universe far, far beyond flying toasters.

Does Saying Make It So?
Laura Bush recently got in trouble for claiming politics has nothing to do with American literature. Can you believe that Magellan's Log concludes that (at least in her unstated terms) she's right?

Geneflection Now!
Magellan's Log is proud to honor, nay, to immortalize the leaders of the new American Empire in sculpture and painting. Slideshow with midi (1:36).

Which Are The Bad Guys?
Religion editor Reppy Duart has two columns of quotes for you to compare, one from recent sermons in Saudi Arabia, the other from recent sermons and comments by American Christian leaders.

Risins
Oh no. Has Magellan's Log sunk to slightly unsettling whimsical nostalgia? Or could Henry Bob Kulup's little tale of yesteryear be something more, well, parabolic?

Zen Centerfold No. 4
Here we are again, with another picture for horny metaphysicians. Slideshow with midi (2:30).

Magellan's Log Books & CDs
"Giving well is the best revenge."
Gifts for yourself, and for any of your friends who are still awake and thinking. All drawn from the sometimes boistrous, sometimes beautiful pages of Magellan's Log. Click here for more info about, among other things, the funniest book of the 21st century (so far).

The 2002 Election Results
Our guest analyst takes care of the meaning of the 2002 American elections in one sentence.

Morning Becomes Ruth
Mix an English village, a Texas spring, a tree and this is what you get. Slideshow with mid (2:32).

The Age of Arrogance
In his own act of unapologetic arrogance, our editor in chief gives the new century a name and immodestly explains why it must be so.

Doom v. Joy
Carl Yadkin tries to shine a bit of light on the murkiest of subjects: the slop trough where the pigs of privilege happily feed. And feed. And feed.

Unicorn News
Late-breaking story about a u-sighting in a small Houston forest. In-depth team coverage by Douglas Milburn and the entire staff of Magellan's Log. Yes, friends, we're off the deep end this time.

What Most Becomes an Ant?
New staff member Jason Twinhaft makes an inauspicious debut with a poem consisting of blank lines, whose blankness he then lamely tries to explain.

An Open Letter to Saddam Hussein
Ora Shay, the sage of Midland, Texas, and our token Republican, has a few suggestions for the Iraqi leader which everybody in Washington is too polite to offer but which people in the Permian Basin talk about all the time.

The Ghost in the Machine, Part II
Edward Hothi, biotech expert, provides food for paranoia as he contemplates the possible emergence of computer consciousness. Not for the boundary-challenged.

Hallelujah! A Real Pro at Work!
Fiction editor Temple Duciel rejoices to find that Donald E. Westlake, in his latest caper novel, Put a Lid on It, is at the top of his form, with a new burglar malgré lui the equal of the legendary John Dortmunder. This time out Westlake takes dead aim at presidential politics.
