Dexter Fong: That would be quite *polite* of you Cat =))

Principalpoop: rush limbaugh making some enemies on the right also
Dexter Fong: Not so Cat" For the last couple weeks of Bush's term, he wouldn't talk to Cheney
Dexter Fong: Interesting: WHile congressional and Snate Reps are united against Obama, Rep Governors are not
cease: but they are not divide and conquerable
cease: rep governors dont vote in your senate
Dexter Fong: divisble and de invisible
Dexter Fong: Cat: No they don't but they are often a better barometer of how the folks in their states are leaning
Dexter Fong: In other words, they see the handwriting on the cave wall
Principalpoop: they see their revenues going into the toilet...
cease: as if a republican pres. candidate could win california
Dexter Fong: It's not a tuuuumooor!
Principalpoop: they elected ronnie, can never forgive them for that

Dexter Fong: You cannot control an illegal immigrant
Principalpoop: we must have control, seig heil
Dexter Fong: IllImm beer
Dexter Fong: It's wet, just like the Rio Grande
cease: one of my fave quotes is from malcolm lowrey, former van resident and author of Under the Volcano:
Dexter Fong: Acave dweller
Principalpoop: i blame neil diamond, and his song about coming to america
cease: Over every free man hangs the shadow of the immigration inspector
cease: and he was a british consul in mexico, ergo, an immigration inspector

Principalpoop: have not got that yet, a good one?
cease: i have a link, let me try and find it with this hard to use mac
Principalpoop: don rickles used to say that
Principalpoop: death can be funny, for instance, if so and so died, that would make me laugh
Dexter Fong: Poop: It's definitely not as propulsive a plot as Barock or Crypto but if you can hang on, he really gets it going in the last third of the 900 odd pages
Principalpoop: ok, thanks
Dexter Fong: Poop: I'd say wait for paperback
Dexter Fong: okay gpong afk for 3rd refil
Principalpoop: oops, not in paperback yet? no fear fong

Principalpoop: i liked ursula, may have to find what I have and read her again
cease: i was kinda disspointed when she decided to openup the trilogy.
cease: it was perfect at 3, less so with more
cease: imagine if tolkein had had a sequel to lord of the rings
cease: however good the tale or the writing, it would have defeated the whole idea of the trilogy
Principalpoop: i tried a handful of new female sci-fi/fantasy writers, none of them made me want to read more
Principalpoop: i thought he did have a sequel, that long unintelligble thing

Principalpoop: i am re-reading jack chalker, he goes wild
Dexter Fong: Cat: Right

Dexter Fong: There was a really good story though..The Shire Strikes Back or Hobbits on the Picket Line
Principalpoop: Lord Foul still around anywhere, in the stephenson books?
||||||||| Catherwood walks in wearing his pyjamas, yawns, and mumbles "It's midnight here in New York city"...then he falls over and starts snoring loudly..
