THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK: THE COMMERCIAL!!!

Last spring, to coincide with Mother's Day, I wrote the script for a radio commercial hawking my Wonderland Award-winning collection, THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK. This commercial aired almost every night for several months on Gary Andersen's NIGHT DREAMS TALK RADIO. To experience the full effect of this audio assault on the senses, simply click on the link at the bottom of this post...

And as an added bonus, here's a photograph of my daughter (without whom THE HANDBOOK would not exist) holding aloft a copy of my aforementioned masterpiece. Both of these photos were taken on the momentous occasion of her eighteenth birthday...

 

You can hear me talking about the secret origins of THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK on multiple podcasts and radio shows including Steven Snider's THE FARM, Matthew M. K. Hopewell's THE AP STRANGE SHOW, and Seriah Azkath's WHERE DID THE ROAD GO?

PRAISE FOR THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK:

"Robert Guffey’s The Expectant Mother Disinformation Handbook is weirder than parthenogenesis, weirder than the Republican Party, weirder than the fetishizing of pregnancy that suffuses our culture, weirder than all the back issues of Weird Tales combined. You will laugh, gasp, and scratch your head in pleasurable bemusement. I can’t recommend this tongue-in-cheek tour de force too highly."

—James Morrow, award-winning author of Only Begotten Daughter and Behold the Ape


"Here it is. THE perfect baby-shower/gender reveal party gift. Forget all the binkies, blankies, cute little onesies, and diaper-service subscriptions. Those are so overdone and boring. Want to make a REAL impact? This book. This book right here [...].

"Well-written, lively, engaging, easy to read, and tons of fun. If I were a truly evil imp with plenty of money, I’d sneak copies into every OB/GYN office and ‘Parenting and Family’ bookstore section in the country."

—Christine Morgan, award-winning author of Spermjackers from Hell and Lakehouse Infernal 

 

"We've got plenty of people who think that they know best--better even than a given pregnant woman. We don't need more of them, but we could damn well use more examples of them turned into buffoons just like we get to see in the Handbook [...]. [The Expectant Mother Disinformation Handbook] is often weird, often funny, frightfully well written, and it gives us that unique satisfaction that only fiction can provide by putting the bastards into a magic circle of their own disinformation and locking them away. Isn't it sweet to think that they'd stay there."

 —Géza A. G. Reilly, Dead Reckonings

THE SUNDAY TIMES on Potential "Financial Crisis Sparked by Aliens"

From Marc Horne's 1-16-26 SUNDAY TIMES article entitled "Bank of England Must Plan for Financial Crisis Sparked by Aliens":

The Bank of England must plan for a financial crisis being triggered by an official announcement confirming the existence of alien life, one of its former policy experts has claimed.

Helen McCaw served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK’s central bank, preparing for events that could impact the economy.

She has now written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank’s governor, urging him to organise contingencies for the possibility that the White House may one day confirm we are not alone in the universe.

McCaw, a Cambridge graduate, believes a declaration of that magnitude would send shockwaves through the markets and could trigger bank collapses and civil unrest [...].

McCaw has written a chapter on the subject for an upcoming book edited by Dr Alex Wendt, a professor of international security and political science at Ohio State University.

She had little interest in the subject of UFOs until she stumbled upon a peer-reviewed Nasa paper, entitled Unidentified Flying Objects in Classical Antiquity, written by the astronomer and planetary scientist Dr Richard Stothers in 2021.

“I just thought it was a Hollywood thing and that it was only backwards people that saw them,” she said. “I didn’t know that governments were studying them.”

OPERATION MINDFUCK:

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "MAGA Was a Big Lie"

From Sean James' 2-1-26 MEDIAITE post entitled "Marjorie Taylor Greene Bluntly Declares MAGA ‘Was All a Lie’ in Scalding Take on Trump’s GOP":

Former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene went absolutely nuts on President Donald Trump in a new interview, branding his Make America Great Again movement a “big lie” and accusing the president of ignoring U.S. citizens so that he can focus on waging “war on behalf of Israel.”

The ex-lawmaker shared her eyebrow-raising thoughts in an interview with political commentator Kim Iversen on YouTube on Thursday.

“MAGA is — I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people,” Greene said.

She said Trump has completely turned on his base and is more worried about serving the “big big donors” who send money to his PACs and have pitched in for his new ballroom.

“Those are the people that get the special favors, the government contracts, they get the pardons,” Greene said. “And it’s the foreign countries that are running the show here. It’s the major big corporations and what is best for the world. That’s really what MAGA is.”

Greene then accused the president of caring more about Iran than what’s going on in the USA...

THE NEW YORK TIMES on Jan. 6th & Trump's "Zombie Army of Followers"

From Alan Feuer and Dan Barry's 1-5-26 NEW YORK TIMES article entitled "For Many Jan. 6 Rioters, a Pardon From Trump Wasn’t Enough":

In the five years since the Capitol was stormed, no new facts have emerged to undermine the basic findings of congressional and Justice Department investigators that many of the rioters acted in the misguided belief, pushed relentlessly by Mr. Trump, that he had been robbed of victory in 2020 — and that in attacking the Capitol they not only injured about 140 police officers but also struck at a cornerstone of American democracy: the peaceful transfer of presidential power.

Even so, Mr. Trump has long maintained that the rioters endured horrible, even illegal, mistreatment during their prosecutions.

And yet if that is true, some pardoned rioters are now asking, then why haven’t their persecutors been thrown in jail? And if the rioters are martyrs to a righteous cause, as the president and his allies have often said, then why haven’t they been made whole through financial reparations?

While this disillusionment is not universal, some so-called J6ers have even begun to ask why, after nearly a year in power, Mr. Trump’s law enforcement agencies have yet to provide any proof of the conspiracy theory they promoted to help him reclaim the presidency: that deep-state agents lured Trump supporters into storming the Capitol to derail the MAGA movement and justify political reprisals.

What J6ers rarely seem to acknowledge is the possibility that Mr. Trump’s government has failed to reveal the hidden truth about Jan. 6 because there is no hidden truth, no deep-state conspiracy, and therefore no legal reason to bring further charges related to the riot [...].

By feeding a steady diet of unfounded conspiracy theories not only to the J6ers but also to others in their base, Mr. Trump and his allies have spawned what some experts have likened to a zombie army of followers. And now, by failing to follow these theories to their logical conclusions, they are seeing that army begin to turn on them.

James Grauerholz, R.I.P. (1952-2026)

From Oliver Harris' 1-2-26 obituary for James Grauerholz, the executor of William S. Burroughs' literary estate:

James’ extensive and outstanding work as an editor has never been recognised. It started early: in his introduction to the revised edition of The Adding Machine, James noted how closely he was already working with Burroughs from the mid-1970s on his columns for Crawdaddy magazine. More substantively, he worked from the original manuscripts to edit Junky, Queer, Interzone, Naked Lunch: The Restored Text (with Miles), My Education: A Book of Dreams, Last Words, And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks. He also co-edited, with Ira Silverberg, Word Virus, a Burroughs anthology, and contributed his original research to Miles’ landmark 2014 biography.

James’ erudition was impressively wide-ranging. At times, when I felt my own inadequacy, he knew just how to be supportive. While re-editing Queer for my 2010 edition, I asked him to review my introduction, worrying that, as a straight guy who didn’t really know the field of gay literature or queer studies, I might well have missed what mattered most. He wrote back to say (I paraphrase): ‘You’ve never been an addict, either, but that didn’t stop you doing Junky…’ It was pragmatic advice that helped me know my place and get the work done.

James got a lot done in the Burroughs universe. For a good while, ‘William Burroughs Communications’, led by James and staffed by a wonderful crew of helpers, brought the creative best out of Burroughs and ensured his legacy. But there were times while Burroughs was alive and, in the years after his death, when James regretted what that cost him, what was left undone in his own name. James will not be remembered for his music or his writing. But he will be remembered, and rightly so, with love.
