Cool short story

[bobquasit]

I'm still annotating old zines; there are a number of new ones online now. And did I mention that thanks to unquietsoul5 I've been able to post a complete copy of Interregnum #1? You can find it on the Zines page on my RQ site.

Anyway, I was reading my comments and ran across several references to a story by George Phillies that I'd liked very much: "Who Slays Satan". On an impulse I Googled, and sure enough, it's available as a free sample for his online book!

George is (or was) running to be the Libertarian candidate for President this year, incidentally.

I believe at this point it's "was" according to wikipedia:

At the time of the 2008 Libertarian National Convention there were eight candidates for consideration at the convention, in alphabetical order: Bob Barr, Mike Gravel, Mike Jingozian, Steve Kubby, George Phillies, Wayne Allyn Root, Mary Ruwart, and Christine Smith. On May 25, after six ballots, the Libertarian Party chose Bob Barr as their official candidate for president, and chose Wayne Allyn Root as his running mate.

I still think George would have been a better candidate, instead of picking yet another previous Republican Party member (Republican Rep from Georgia's 7th congressional district 1995-2003). It just once again shows that Libertarians can't take themselves seriously as a 3rd party, their main interests are hand in hand with the Republicans and willing to play their insane games.

Worse, Barr was the sponsor of the Anti-Gay 'Defense of Marriage Act' which flies in the face of Libertarian claims to being for less government interference and control of private lives, sought to remove recognition of 'Wicca' as a religion in the military, and signed on to the Patriot act. So, a true Republican and definitely a fake Libertarian.
