    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...

    What Doug said re political post of the year.

    Have you read the "Top 10 Signs of the Impending U.S. Police State"?

    (I particularly liked the line 'The fact is, when people who kill, spy and deceive for a living tell you that the White House has gone too far, you had damn well better pay attention.')

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.   ...

what I'm talking about above--the letter in RWR

I've cut out bits here and there but the gist is there. I don't want to cut too much because she's a good writer (other than the actual thinking/tolerance part) and it's bad idea to ignore that fact. . . . romance isn't about just any "two people" celebrating "love in its many forms." Organizations such as the Man-Boy Love Association would certainly refer to themselves as celebrating love "two people" (or more) finding love in one of its many forms" . . . while they actively promote pedophilia. Think RWA can't go down that slipper slope? Think again. Under our present definition, we cannot exclude such "love stories" under the category of "romance". We, as a culture, seem to have forgotten how to say "enough is enough," but RWA can--indeed, must--do better than that. . . . And, please, spare us the arguments about "censorship" and "inclusiveness." Preference for "one man,...
