Stephen King, Cheryl Strayed Sign Open Letter Condemning Donald Trump
Hey writers,
You and your Hollywood cronies can take your little elitist pansy-ass butts out of the country if you don’t like President Trump.
Steven King has been a far left creep as long as I can remember.
Stephen King hasn't written anything worth reading since the early '80s.
The comments at R.S. are AMAZINGLY pro-Trump. I’m not exactly sure of what to make of it, if it’s a grass-roots, ground-swell of support for Trump by people you make the effort to post comments, or if such pro-Trump blogging is somehow being orchestrated.
Stephen King is a little prick. He won’t sign autographs anymore. So we buy his books (not me) and he won’t sign them or pictures, etc. So we don’t buy his books anymore.
I have a dual photo of him and George Romero (”Night of the Living Dead”) that I got George to sign, but King won’t accept them in the mail anymore. A great sign of fan appreciation.
Heck. Romero and Malcolm McDowell not only signed anything at a SciFi Convention a number of years ago, but carried on a rollicking conversation with a small group of us for at least 20 minutes (while we were waiting in line, and then sat with them).
As for the rest of the writers, never heard of most of them, and don’t recall anything significant to me by those I recognize.
Right now on my desks and floor are some things I’m reading, including “V.I. Lenin on Youth”, “Fossils of North America”, Bastiat’s “On Law”, “Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry” (I worked on it and use if for VN research); for the past 10 years, Carlos Castaneda’s “Final Reality”, or is it “Final Conversations” (?), plus a book about American actors and actresses who either served in WW2, Korea and Vietnam, or who entertained our troops during those wars (Martha Raye, Jerry Colonna, Bob Hope, Anne Margaret, Joey Heatherton, and others).
Oh, also have my bible of Rock and Roll, Billboard’s “Top 100 Hits” lists from 1955-2000. Don’t leave home or the FR comments board without it.
To me, these are books that should be read for knowledge and entertainment, and the truth.
I average two novels a week and the only writer on this list (I looked at the full 450 petition) I even recognize is King, who I never cared for anyway.
That’s good. It means I won’t need to boycott any of my favorites. I am always amazed when artists, singers, movie stars, and authors go out of their way to irritate over half the population and potential customer base.
