“Last Week’s Apocalypse”, by Douglas Lain (Night Shade Press) Review by Kent Manthie The short story is a remarkable form of writing. A whole world is constructed in only a few pages.

CD reviews 6/12/06
CD reviews 6/12/06 by Kent Manthie Akimbo: “Forging Steel and Laying Stone” (Alternative Tentacles Records) Seattle-based Akimbo is out now with their fifth release, “Forging Steel and Laying Stone”, a cathartic, rip-roaring CD that harkens back to the heyday of the Pacific Northwest’s flannel-punk scene; bands like The Melvins, Mastodon and Dillinger Escape Plan.

the 6/6/06 election
The Republican’s Grand Olde Nazi Party stole another election here in the Fiftieth Congressional District yesterday too by smearing lies about Francine Busby and saying she was for illegal alien amnesty because she is a liberal democrat.
