the Oversoul

okay, i'm sort of pleased that we have a presidential candidate who is a science fiction fan. i'm disappointed that his favorite book is Battlefield Earth, but baby steps...

of course, if he could tell fiction from reality, that would be good too.

Mitt Romney making a commencement speech this weekend:
"In France, for instance, I'm told that marriage is now frequently contracted in seven-year terms where either party may move on when their term is up. How shallow and how different from the Europe of the past."

i immediately started searching for more info on this arrangement, which must have happened since i last took a French culture class. it sounded awfully fishy.

um, not France, outer space. thanks for embarrassing fen (and Mormons) everywhere. (i'm used to being an embarrassed American.)

Well, he DID say "I'm told." He just didn't say who told him. Perhaps it was the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I'm deeply disturbed by a Mormon liking a book by the Daddy Scientologist. What if they merge freaky ideologies? The world will be run by guys who wear funny underwear AND clutch electrified tin cans! RUN AWAY!

The Church of Latter Day Thetans? At least the tithing won't change much either way.
