    Thanks for sending me there. Best political post of the day? I suspect this will turn out to be one of the best of the year. I wish I were Markos or Atrios, cuz then I could hype the hell out of it.

    You're right, and I read a lot of political posts. I also see he's raising money for Fisher House. Great job.

    Argh. I'm gearing up to go to the US this summer and I'm dreading meeting my brother (pro Bush - Pro War) I'd love to see him enroll. (Not!!! Even if he's an ass I still love him) But honestly, this post struck a nerve...

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books.

I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.   ...

No one thinks they're anything more than adequate. You can't seem to change your style to fit what people want. You're old news. OLD. NEWS. Stale old voice. There's no point in writing yet another book that no one will wants-- me: How about if they finally talk instead of just hinting around? Yeah, and maybe that guy will say what's been on his mind since chapter two. also me: Jesus. So boring. Talk, talk, talk. You know that your-- me: How about if they-- also me: --you know your books are worthless because people want conflict and angst. They don't want to read another book wit...
