Chris Saxman: Cold Fusion – The Avengers Sequel Edition
The price of Hollywood movies gives me great pause when it comes to deciding to go to a theatre and take in a flick. With fellow attendees of the tax exemption variety and their stomachs, some back of the envelope math can push the total expense to about $75. So, for me to see the SAME movie TWICE in the SAME weekend, it’s probably the best movie ever.
The Avengers is that good – yes, it is worth the price of admission not just once, but twice. Heck, I might take in a matinee this afternoon while the little exemptions are snug in their school desks. If you have not seen it yet – go now. No, I mean RIGHT NOW. Read more
Chris Saxman: Cold Fusion – Talladega Nights Edition
There is a race on in the District of Columbia quasi-intelligentsia to win the “It’s Not My Fault Award.” Leading the pack is, obviously, the President of These Here States United followed closely by Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein. Mann and Ornstein recently convinced editors at the Washington Post to publish two lengthy op-eds in the Sunday Outlook section.
The first op-ed ran at the end of April and declared that ALL of the problems in DC are the result of the rightward shift of Republican Party. Ok, that’s their opinion and they go to great length to support that idea. More power to them. Oh, Mann and Ornstein have great street cred in DC because they are “non partisan.” And “centrist”, can’t forget that. Read more
Chris Saxman: Cold Fusion-Slurpee Edition
As I shared with you in earlier Cold Fusions, I am blessed with picking up our 12 year old daughter, Nora, from school. Remember that I told you that my job consisted of buying her a Slurpee from the local 7-11 as a way to “transition” her to dwelling amongst the rest of us.
I am happy to report that I have been promoted!
Yes, now I get to buy a Slurpee every day. And it’s not just because temps in the Valley are starting hit in the ’80s. Nope. A couple of these Slurpees have been purchased because I did the primary job – picking her up and just listening – incorrectly. Read more
Chris Saxman: Cold Fusion-Game Change Edition
The book Game Change by Mark Halperin and Joh Heileman is about the historic 2008 presidential election. There are twenty three (23) chapters in the book. The first fourteen (14) are devoted to the Democratic nomination. The next three are about the Republican nomination which are followed by the final six chapters covering the Obama-McCain election.
The book Game Change is an excellent telling of the election and I highly recommend you read it. Read more
Chris Saxman: Cold Fusion-Free Bourbon Edition
Cold Fusion’s purpose, from its conception, was to provide readers with thought provoking views and/or ideas to advance the cause of human freedom and liberty.
Unable to keep up with the times, I must submit to the reality that I was playing the wrong game. I assumed that the everyone had a mutual goal that there would be humans around that would aspire to be free.
I have broken the code. Read more
Chris Saxman: Cold Fusion-The Hills Are Alive Edition
America is poised to enter a very new stage of her history – she is about to choose, for the first time, between candidates for president from both major political parties who call the suburbs their home.
No more will Americans be choosing between candidates who grew up poor on the hardscrabble streets of Crossroads, USA and then went to college or the military to go someplace. This marks a profound change. Not good or bad mind you, it just is. Read more

For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother;…”
Gotta give ol Billy Shakespeare his due – that brother could write.
On November 11th of 2009, one of my brothers, a Washington and Lee fraternity brother, Army Corporal Chris Coffland, emailed his various bands of domestic brothers from Afghanistan describing his view of the war. Read more
