Another entry in the testicle head hall of fame

Orson Scott Card serious needs to investigate surgery for that recto-cranial inversion.

What a hate-filled piece of drivel.

(thanks to [livejournal.com profile] yendi for the link)

Remember - maybe not this time, but very definitely Doc for President in 2008!

If you think I'm kidding, I'm so not. I am absolutely, deadly serious about this.

The Massachusetts Supreme Court has not yet declared that "day" shall now be construed to include that which was formerly known as "night," but it might as well.

Actually, since a "day" is a 24-hour period, it already does include "night".

*bows* I have a black belt in semantics.

Gah!!! It burns!!!

I couldn't read the whole thing. Your calling it "hate-filled drivel" is being very generous, IMO. I've lost a lot of respect for him now that I've seen this demonstration of his ideals and values.

I wish all of you well in booting the shrub from office come November - speaking only for myself (as one of your northern neighbours), I'll rest a bit easier once he's gone.

I don't think it's so much hate-filled as that, whatever tolerance he may preach in his Ender/Xenocide novels, when it comes down to his life in his world he's unable to see past his Mormon upbringing. He writes Ender, Xenocide, etc on an intellectual level; he reacts to real-world events that run counter to his faith on an instinctive level. Howard Tayler, author of Schlock Mercenary, is the same way.

This doesn't make him any less misguided, of course, or any less afraid.
