I spent my lunch reading some of Orson Scott Card’s ravings on The Ornery American (the name should’ve been a clue). I loved Ender’s Game, which I just read, but man is this guy a little over the top. The same things he accuses the “Left” of (he claims he is a Democrat) he does himself: blind faith to his truths, a reflexive support of Bush (everything the “Left” says about him is made up), and a tendency to gloss over facts.

I want to mention it just because it’s always good to see what smart people are saying, even if I disagree with them. Card is a good writer. I’m happy he’s not running the country.
