This should not come as a surprise to my regulars, but I am going to make this official: I am on an indefinite hiatus from blogging here at the Anvil. This does not mean that I will never put an entry up. This does not mean that I will never do another radio interview or podcast. What this means is that I am taking three steps back and not slaving myself to this ship like I have done for upwards of 4 years now in various forms.

Of late I have turned into one mean bastard online. I don’t take the usual amount of prodding I once did because I have been attacked in various ways, for too many years, since putting up the Anvil. My patience has run thin.
I would like to thank the hate mail tossers that keep me entertained. They also make me utterly aware of the deficiencies of the average follower of Islam. It is this sort of ignorant bile that I would love to see cured from the minds of people all across the world at some point, but wishful thinking, right? Mankind has been and will always be plagued by people that wish to control others through the use of dogma and mysticism and hypocrisy and lies.

My friends, I am alive and well. However, the Anvil has been the victim of a barrage of hacking since March and I have reached a point where I do not know if I will be able to contend with it for much longer. Bots are automatically sniffing my site and looking for any vulnerabilities 24/7. The ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ article was yet another instance of hacking — this time not bringing down my databases, but somehow inserting code that managed to close comments and remove the body of text from the article itself.
Hollywood and Broadway Actress Christine Ebersole surprises (and impresses) a lot of people with the following entry to her blog, Dining with the Oligarchy. I wanted to make sure that you get the chance to read it, so here it is in its entirety. Be sure to also go read the many excellent follow-up comments left at her blog in response.
