OK, then. Give this one a try...
Onnicle: Stripped of rank and honor, his friend's current condition left Colonel Ramirez appalled at how far his brother-in-arms had fallen.

Truth, I got it, but would have to be struck by lightning to come up with a new one so I'm keeping mum. Two clues here, though one's a bit of a stretch.

FRANK ZAPPA!
Sorry, I've been so busy! Will try to post a new one today. You're right, Jackie -- they are much easier to solve than to create.

Convict or savior, thug or hero? In the first half of his life he was a jailbird, escapee; always negative and bitter toward life and the society that had let him down. In later years, he can be described as a valiant advocate, lifesaver, just employer, and nurturer. His story of redemption has been enjoyed all over the world, for many generations.
Can you find the author and the protagonist?

I departed from Côte-St. Luc yesterday by plane (a horrible little Bombardier Q400) hoping I would make it all the way to Brown County, Wisconsin, without crashing. And speaking of crashing, the fellow who sat next to me was a crashing bore! He griped constantly about the food, "the salad was full of E. Coli, the sandwich was soggy, the peanuts were stale!" Augh! He droned on and on, rambling about the plotless films of George Kuchar, lies George W. Bush told, and everything that was wrong with the Republican party, including such ridiculous statements as: “Sarah Palin used PAC money to buy her own books!” I thought, “Who gives a rip? Get me off this plane!!”
Clue: Sparky’s status update on Facebook?
