The History of the Sea, Lake, and River Battles of the Civil War, is an expose, a denunciation, a condemnation of the lies, the distortions, the deceits, the misrepresentations, and the slanders of the biased civil war historians, the biased movie makers, and the biased makers of TV Specials, who write distorted books, distorted movies, and make distorted TV Specials about the civil war.

Another example is the big lie that the Monitor and Merrimac battle was a draw when it was a clear cut victory for th...

The worst thing about being dead is the cell reception. The second worst thing is the view. I'd gladly take the inside of a dusty coffin over watching my very-much-alive wife crumble into a thousand pieces or seek help from a creepy wanna-seer or be won over by a bowtied lunatic who's everything I'm not-uh-wasn't. When you lose your keys, they tell you to retrace your steps. But when you lose your life, retracing your steps will only drive you crazy. I've been retracing mine for a year. And it's not a pretty sight. The haunted shack next door gave me a more accurate glimpse of my future than any tacky medium can concoct and it's only a matter of time. Moving on may be in my ghostly fingers' reach, but I'm thinkin' real hard about two things. Can I lay my spirit to rest losing my wife after I've lost my life? And heaven, hell, oblivion: are they really any better than this?
