No. California went blue, and San Bernandino is mostly Latino. And there’s not oil or stock benefit for him.

Because as a country we looked at what happened at Sandy Hook and decided we were ok with it.

I’m sure thoughts and prayers will be enough to help these poor kids overcome the lifetime of trauma this incident will bring.

LA local here. Watching local news live. (Weird that no car chase involved.)Latest reports say domestic violence incident.

Will Trump intervene on behalf of these beautiful babies?

I assume the other party in the murder suicide was a grizzly bear.

This is not an overbooking situation. Overbooking takes place due to the fact that a certain percentage of passengers will not show up for a flight. Ground crew know in advance if a flight is overbooked for the number of passengers that have arrived and up the “bribe” as needed to get enough volunteers. They would…

Because this is America in 2017. We lent the airlines billions of dollars to help them stay in business after September 11th, most of which has never been paid back, and this is how they treat paying customers now.

United HQ

Well, the employee said, “I want that.” And United Airlines asked, “Are you a 10 year-old girl wearing leggings?” And when the employee said no, United decided to revoke the passenger’s ticket with extreme prejudice.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Bob Dylan, and I think his songwriting really did merit this award, and I know not caring about stuff is his schtick, but at what point does his behavior just become rude? I mean, while his work deserves celebration, I can think of many more literary artists who also deserve…

‘Salem Lot and the follow up short One For The Road (in Night Shift collection). Which also includes the prequel Jerusalem’s Lot. It’s the origin of Father Calahan (tm) and the town is mentioned in a lot of other books.

I’m a big fan of Full Dark, No Stars, which is a recent-ish collection of short stories. The Shining is also great, as is Carrie. I read It a few years back and for some reason it just seemed absurd to read about a scary murderous clown and I just couldn’t get into it.

I don’t know where you got that. I was doing my best to refute the public condescension that King gets for being popular and that I get for enjoying his popular oeuvre, specifically addressing her question of whether his writing is actually good or just popular.

Stephen King says that people still come up to him and ask how Frannie and Stu are doing, as though they were real people. He’s one of the great character writers, and some of his best characters are kids. He really gets kids.

I don’t think anyone mentioned my favorite—The Dead Zone. Not your typical horror King, although given today’s political climate, strangely prescient. And I cry every time I read it. Every. Single. Time.

And “Gramma.” Goddamnit. That one messed me up.

I don’t agree with the faint tone of condescension in this comment. Even if his vast output is uneven, he’s one of the best living American writers, and a lot of people in the literary fiction world consider him to be so. One piece of evidence for this is that he’s a regular reviewer for “big”/important fiction in…

I love Stephen King. There are some books I simply couldn’t get through but when he’s “on,” he’s probably my favorite writer. I agree with the suggestions of Misery, the Green Mile Different Seasons & The Stand (I love you Tom Cullen), and would also like to add Dolores Claiborne and 11/22/63 to the pot. Great, great…
