Hunting Hillary
Filed Under WTF? Shitheadery | 1 Comment
Ah, there’s nothing like politics to bring out the hypocrite in people. I mean really bring it out. Bring it out to the point of being obvious. Bring it out in a Clinton-esque sort of way.
From the day Hillary told her story about flying into Bosnia under sniper fire, one would assume she’d be ready for intense scrutiny from that point on. I can’t listen to a thing she says without wondering what really lies beneath her cute little anecdotes.

Potter Goes to Court

J.R.R. Tolkien didn’t bitch about people writing books, encyclopedias, lexicons or any other number of fictional works that imitated, emulated, or merely resembled The Hobbit, or Lord of the Rings. I don’t think anyone got sued for writing Bored of the Rings, with character Dildo Buggers. Tolkien, was a master at creating fantastic worlds and stories. To the extent that entire worlds and civilizations were imagined. Right down to the the shoes they wore, the money they used, the food they ate, and what their farts might have smelled like. My brother was a huge Dungeons and Dragons fan and an even bigger Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fan. He collected books about Middle Earth, that were written about Tolkien’s world and its inhabitants. Entire studies of a fictional place, down to the minutest detail.
