1 I see you're following in the timeless Moron tradition of not reading the blog, Alice.

2 Wow, I've outdone myself - it's even on the front page!

3 Oh it's not like it's an immediate double post or anything so that's fine.

4 And, to be fair, you did link to a different source.

Here, let me differentiate this, as a totally off-topic service to the morons: Alongside Night.

Free [PDF, download] book; give you something to read. The blurb for it at the puppy blender's was interesting:

“Just look at TV news or read a newspaper,” Schulman said. “Plot point after plot point is identical. In my 1979 novel I have General Motors go bankrupt — General Motors then files for bankruptcy. I have Europe issue a common currency in my novel called the ‘eurofranc’ — the European Union then goes and issues the ‘euro.’ In my novel I have a European Chancellor, based in France, accuse the U.S. President of having the monetary policies of a banana republic — then the President of the European Union — also based in France — slams U.S. plans to spend its way out of recession as ‘a road to hell’ and says President Barack Obama’s massive stimulus package and banking bailout ‘will undermine the liquidity of the global financial market.’ The copycat nature of all these plot points and dialogue” — says Schulman — “could not be more obvious!”

There's no reason not to give Australian ninjas the double treatment.

Because they're awesome.

7 And, to be fair, you did link to a different source.

Yeah, not like the times I've opened a link from our moronblog in another tab and come back half a day later and read the linked article and thought, "Wow, I should blog about that!"  That happens more times than I should admit.  More times than I should admit I've actually written up a post before I realized someone already blogged about it.

The problem, davis, is that book has to be about stupid, unless it's comedy.

I mean think about it, today is so full of plot holes and obvious stupidities (looking for moderates in Hezbollah?) that any book accurately portraying it had better be comedy.

9 Hey Hey, HO HO, These HIPPIE NINJAS GOT TO GO!
