Apparently one of my favorite authors has switched sides.
I was checking out Patricia Cornwell's website yesterday and she sends a message to her fans that includes the fact that she's supporting Hillary Clinton for President. Just thought you guys might think that was interesting.

2. Is that better or worse than being a sexist?
I.E., supporting Obama.

I still haven't figured that out.

3. Interesting
She was always a right-winger, I do believe.

She's a lesbian- maybe she had enough of the neo-con shit.

5. Has that loony toon had therapy or something?
She's one of the contemporary authors that one can literally watch go down the rabbit hole of insanity in her books.

There was an independent bookstore in NC that was scheduled to have her sign books at the hight of her lunacy--she refused to go until they agreed to let her carry a gun, and have armed body guards.

Her signet ring was inscribed "KS."

Whacko extraordinaire. But, she did write some good fiction.

6. She's bat shit....
...but the woman can write a book...or at least she used to be able to. They all are anti climactic now and boring. Her old stuff is some of my favorite fiction! Her newer stuff is like WTF where you thinking?
