I'm not kidding about this. This is the most important election since FDR in 1932, 76 years ago. Another election of this importance won't happen for another full lifetime.Per a recent comments-section discussion about lousy sequels, I've been re-reading the original Frank Herbert Dune sequels, which really do get hilariously terrible by the time you get to Heretics of Dune. I mean, between the heavy-breathing one-handed reader dirty-novel sections and the insane supercrazy Ayn-Rand-style disdain for the teeming, genetically inferior masses of humanity and the looooooong segments of religiophilosophic dialogue in which interstellar mystics jockey for advantage by spouting off incoherently, for pages on end--well, as implied: hilarity ensues. Anyway, there's one point where, swear-ta-jesus, Herbert describes something called a, wait for it, hypnobong. Seriously? Yeah.
Anyway, my point is, clearly that's what they're smokin' over at the Group News Blog, cuz that is some whacky shit.

yeah man, if only they could have seen, you know, back then and all man, just how important that election was. if only they had the foresight we do now man, like totally. it's key, man. fucking key.
also: get her! she's the last remaining, most responsible person for this mess we're in.
How big will be our victory?!?
Yeah. That goes under my tag: "English as a 19th Language"
Those Dune sequels had me chuckling for days. I plowed through them, though by the end I was not even bothering to try to understand all of the nonsense on the page.
Hey, IOZ. How about when the lesbian cums watching the dude climb the mountain? Good stuff! Sexuality isn't a continuum, it's a cliff with a god-emperor at the summit!
That's like my favorite line in the entire opus. "It was only when she saw the rope come snaking down that Nayla had her orgasm."
Well, you know, Dune Heretic is the most important sequel ever in the history of sequels ever. Or at least since FDR. Or something.
Part of a wave of sequels that only hits the country ONCE in a generation.
Doesn't Muad-Dib turn himself into a sandworm or something at the end of the whole ordeal? I couldn't get past the second one, whatever the fuck it was.

That was his son, who underwent the metamorphosis, became the God Emperor, and ruled humanity as a tyrant for thousands of years. Change you can believe in.
jeez sglover, don't you know anything?
Oh nice. Thanks for the spoiler alert, bitches.
OK, fine: she kidnapped herself and there was never any money in the bag. Happy now?
The other giant worm king would've been worse, y'know.
Because none of the elections between '46 and '88, when global nuclear holocaust could occur due to a couple of personality conflicts, were important at all.
Those were about the fate of the world. THIS is about a filibuster-proof Democrat senate, bitches.
I love to pull up a chairdog and wince painfully at the Bashar Teg's cheesey restaurant critique - at least once a decade...
First of all, Miles Teg only wears natural fabrics and hates chairdogs. Second, yeah. You mean where he observes that false authenticity carefully deployed to mask prosperous modernity is in fact real authenticity?
Uh-oh...they're huffing industrial solvents again today over at Group News Blog - with added Bobby Heinlein!
what ever. Sting kicked ass in the movie
I gave up on that series somewhere between Dune Versus Godzilla and Abbott & Costello Meet Dune.
Yes, and it's just sad that most of the(non)action revolves around hotel lobbies, boardroom decor, limo and air travel. This is a really bored dude boring the shit out of ya for reading about his boring as shit life. Which I find funny as shit, personally...
