The Hugo’s sponsored by Tor Publishing. What a joke.

Is Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, Clifford Simak, E. E. “Doc” Smith, Arthur C. Clarke, C. M. Kornbluth, H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, Larry Niven, Andre Norton, Robert Louis Stevenson etc nominated for anything?

The new guys are into ‘feelings’ and Star Wars and Star Trek.
I want epic adventure and blasters.

I can't complain that Tor is sponsoring the Hugo's - at least someone is paying for the awards.

Disappointed that Analog SFSF and Azimov’s SF didn't garner a single nomination, but I shouldn't be surprised when the new editor only allows progressive story lines, such as a heavy dose of globull warming, into every story. Although I might have read about a heterosexual hero in a story last month.

“Alien Stripper Boned From Behind By The T-Rex” by Stix Hiscock. Are you freaking kidding me. The PC is just oozing off the page with these nominations. Every name sounds like a woman or minority. I’m sure some are deserving but this just goes against the law of averages.
