I'M GLAD I DON'T WRITE POLITICAL THRILLERS

There's plenty of talk in science fiction writing circles on how difficult it is to write near future fiction; accelerating trends in technology jam up the old predict-o-meter.

Now imagine you write political thrillers: Rob Blagojevich just made you obsolete.

Throw in some sex, a little light murder, and this manuscript is complete: I've been laughing all day.

Actually, you probably couldn't sell the book: too over the top.

Rob has brass balls.

Plenty of people smarter than me will cover the ins and outs. I caught the word while driving to work and even now, many hours later, I'm still laughing like a little girl. Read the complaint: its a great insight into our other economy, the political economy.
