It's a book that tells you that all you have to do is sit around wishing for shit and it will come to you.

oh, right. Boston Legal spoofed this with Denny Crane wishing for Raquel Welch. He got Phyllis Diller instead :)

Speaking of the crazy -

Mitt Romney, in his neverending quest to pander his way into office, figured a few good swipes at the French never go awry, especially at bastions of the right like Regent University. So he goes on about the thing now in France is seven-year marriage contracts, with each person free to walk at the end of it, and how it's a symbol of how Europe has degenerated.

Except for how it's not France, it's some Orson Scott Card novel that is apparently - get this - a retelling of the Book of Mormon set in space.

Not that WaPo picked up on that part when they reported the 7 year thing without comment.

If he keeps referencing science fiction books, I'm going to start thinking he really is a robot.

They were doing something on The Secret on NPR's Day to Day this afternoon. I missed it. I like my life rule best anyway.

Heh. I guess it's a step up from Battlefield Earth, at least...

[eta: On second thought, that depends on which era OSC we're talking about. It could be a tie.]

Wait...isn't he a Mormon?!

Good grief.

The survey is really letting my get my crank on since I can read the responses and don't have to be helpful. That's a dumb idea. What are we, your mother? If an email isn't sufficient, nothing will be. Poor widdle pompous ass! Heehee!

Oh, HAR. Welcome, America, to the wit and wisdom of Mitt Romny that we Massachusettians have been appreciating lo these several years.

Though, he was much quieter with Teh Crazy until he got out of here.

she just thinks I have no magic in my heart.

Well, she's not alone in that. Tell her about your spleen.

One of my krav friends said a few months ago that they were going to lend me The Secret, but it seems he's forgotten. Now, he's currently experiencing more professional success than at any time since I've known him, but I'm not willing to infer anything from that.

There's a hot guy in the Left Behind movies, which is how I know about them. Played a pilot, or somesuch. I remembered wondering at the time if he was one of the flock, or just cashing a paycheque.

the universe will read that as "I want to be sick" and you'll never be well again

The universe is stupid, huh? Really got no ability to pay attention and stay on message. Some example it's setting.

Yeah, the first book of this was the last OSC I read. I don't actually know the story of the Book of Mormon, despite having had a copy for many years (the Mormon guy was hot, so leave me alone). Space didn't make it interesting, though. The Alvin Maker (Maker, right? I've got Speaker on the brain) stories were at least interesting, but then they stopped going anywhere fast enough for me.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Mormons are hot. I mean, it's just anecdotal from my good friend and his hot brothers and the hot one who came to my door one day (his partner was a TROLL (an exception), or I might have let him in)

I just went to slate.com, and the lead story was about The Secret: [link]
