Mitt Romney favors L. Ron Hubbard
Quoting Patrick Nielsen Hayden at Making Light:
"The good news: Even unblinking, homunculus-like Republican presidential candidates, asked for their favorite novel, cite works of modern SF!
"The bad news: Mitt Romney’s professed “favorite novel” is Battlefield Earth."
He doesn't have it listed on his MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/mittromneyHuckleberry Finn – Mark TwainWhat It Takes – Richard Ben CramerTheodore Rex – Edmund MorrisThe World Is Flat – Thomas Friedman1776 – David McCulloughThe Battle For Peace –Tony Zinni and Tony KoltzThe Business Of Winning – Robert EvangelistaI just think it's refreshing for a candidate to tell the truth, bad book or not about his like of a book. Really, is every candidate's favorite book the Bible?
Yep. That's pretty much what they say.Now if they'd only cop to Mickey Spillane or S. Clay Wilson…
Wow, LJ is way off his game! Turning your back on an angry opponent when they haven't been immobilized, disabled or otherwise secured seems like a real rookie mistake. LJ didn't even check to see if this rapist was armed! Either LJ is too tired and hungry to think straight, or he's got a subconscious death wish.On the positive side, this episode brings in a new, powerful, female character.The art and the writing remain strong, even if the main character seems to have done something exceedingly stupid for somebody in the Hero Trade.
LONE JUSTICE actually thought he was better than this lowly would-be rapist. His mistake, this time, was in not taking the guy seriously. If you are keeping score, his mistakes are piling up.
