The Dark Wraith of the economic apocalypse. I am waiting and watching, someone sure needs to kick some sense into our policy, maybe you are the one. I wouldn't wish for you the terrible job of turning around all the shit that has befallen the usa since the idiot neo-con morons have screwed the pooch. But somewhere, someone has to start fiscal policies that turn this crap around. It ain't 'gonna be easy, and for whomever this individual is, I almost feel for them. What a job.

Good morning, Dark Wraith.

Wow! That is a cool picture. Are you going to add it to "The Dark Wraith Forums, The 21st Century" graphic you had on the right side as a downloadable background pic? (It may still be there, my computer is loading slowly and I don't see it right now).

Good morning, Old White Lady.

That graphic was built in such a way that it wouldn't work very well as computer desktop wallpaper. What you see there is one of the designs I'm trying out for one of my first books. I'll have to do quite a bit more to make it good enough for a book cover graphic, but it's a start, anyway.

Stay tuned for more over the next month or so.


The Dark Wraith seeks aesthetic balance between good art and cheesy pulp.

Good morning, Dread Pirate Roberts.

The skull lashed to the side is the fall guy*.


(*Karl wouldn't be needing it anymore.)





The Dark Wraith allows that to be interpreted as desired.

good morning dark wraith: reference Q o'D. yes, indeed they always do. don't they? i spent the morning of memorial day watching representative murtha near tears over the dismantling not only of his beloved corps in body, but the destruction of their very spirit and code. one fact that leaps out at me is the marines at haditha (and now there's a newer atrocity looming) were on their fourth combat tour. as a veteran of three tours in viet nam, i can attest that my mental state during the third tour was, to be generous, fragile. i was wrapped pretty damn tight. most of the time i was one small tick away from full on apeshit. and these kids are on their fourth? with nothing to look forward to except their fifth and sixth? in a war that has no identified enemy, no vision of conclusion (beyond republican and neocon victory laps), no goal beyond the next november. my mind truly warps when i think about it. doesn't wall street have an every other generation pattern too? aren't they due for a shitstorm?

mr. benson will now subdue his rage, most likely, later today he will be praying to gods he doesn't believe in for the souls of young men he misses and loves.

Good Evening Dark Wraith,

Might I say, masterful graphic?

and also, Stephen Benson,

I cannot even imagine fighting on and on in a war that has no reason or target, in a dishonorable position, In a chaotic environment, yet expected to be honorable and systematic.

And all that, while living next to people who are making ten times what you are, and you have to risk your life to protect.

It's shameful what they ask of them.
