It is insulting that you're 19 years old. Get older, already.

Yeah, Tom Leykis is all about dignity…in some alternate universe. That guy's the world's biggest misogynist frat-boy idiot.

Good interview. Cool guy.
Retarded editing. Now I know where the geniuses* behind Ben Stein's EXPELLED went: they're doing the editing for Carson Daly. It's like the MTV show at the end of REALITY BITES.

I like this comment a lot, though I'm way too much of a skeptic to think that if we were ever to "clear away the crap," "crap" being, I don't know, some sort of over-analytic hyper-rationalism that some sort of mystical core or supernatural element or anything like that would be discovered.

Oh why the hell not…
FIRST!

What was the first one?

I do like that conflation as well…HERE…though it's not quite so endearing when Deepak Chopra and the Zeitgeist Kids do it. Quantum = MAGIC to them.

Is the live chat happening today at the usual time?
Because I haven't seen the usually blipful page-to-watch about it all. I'll check in at around 2:30 p.m. New Mexico-time.

Right. The reader has a little bit of hope, just from knowing Riddley, but it's obviously a pretty ingrained cycle.

I have never seen any of those movies, but they will now be a priority.

I think you're right.

Both are kind of apocalyptic slices of life, though BLOOD MERIDIAN is certainly more epic. I think the gunpowder itself is far more significant in…

Those sound like the strangest books ever. I had never heard of them, but the Wikipedia page has me plenty interested now. Thanks for mentioning them.

How many times has this book been written already?
And does it need to be written again? Books like this seem completely unnecessary. They're like watching an unoriginal episode of a tired TV show.

But first I want to know,
Is there an e-book version?

His SIXTH wife?
What was wrong with the first?

Let's just say that's it. Though doesn't Riddley help get the yellerboy stoan to Granser so he can do with it what he can?

I like the hash ritual—and it's interesting that cannabis survived but not tobacco. That seems like the sort of authorial choice that was probably the result of a bit of research—what would be most likely to survive with little to no proper cultivation, et cetera. But why "hash"? Isn't that tricky to make? I…

Some Random Questions…
1. What does it mean that Riddley leads not one but two blind characters across Inland—Lissener and Goodparley?
