Blood Will Run in the Streets'--
It seems that the final days of the presidential campaign have made Erica Jong and her friends more than a little anxious.
A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, who published excerpts on his Camillo blog. Basically, Jong says she her fear that Obama might lose the election has developed into an "obsession. A paralyzing terror. An anxious fever that keeps you awake at night." She also says that her friends Jane Fonda and Naomi Wolf are extremely worried that Obama will be sabotaged by Republican dirty tricks, and that if an Obama loss indeed comes to pass, the result will be a second American Civil War.
Here's a translation of Jong's more spirited quotes to the Milan-based Corriere, as selected by Rocca.
"The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged."

“Tom Wolfe and John Updike are men of the right and Philip Roth is at this point a hermit who leads a monastic life in Connecticut, far from everything and everybody.”
No, no, Erica!
You’ve got it wrong. Roth, Wolfe and Updike are at a secret camp deep in the Alaska wilderness, training an army of Sarah Palin look-alikes to lay waste to Berkeley, Greenwich Village, and other centers of the People’s Resistance.
The Moose is loose!
Run for your life!

I want Obama to lose primarily because he is a democrat/socialist/radical. But, more and more, I want him to lose to watch these screwballs go nuts. It would be the icing on the cake.

I know a few of these types who are twisted in knots over this election - sleepless, nightmares, overeating, etc. These are sad and untethered people.

If the election causes the second American Civil War, then I sure am glad I’m where the lucky people were during the first one: In the Sierra Nevada, panning for gold.
That’s cuz they been all used up by the time they are 28. Every self-proclaimed feminist I’ve known is a slut - regardless of which way they swing.
A reason to Vote for McCain/Palin if ever I saw one.
So true , To bad I read the first page of posts that picture is giving nightmares and I just woke up ;-)
If there’s a civil war, how can we, the non-traditional Conservative resistance (Minorities, Granolas, etc) who see through the BS of the Dems signal to the traditional conservatives that we’re friends, not foes? I’m a non-traditional Conservative.
LOL! Stolen concept BUMP! Should read, "self-described idiot".
