After writing this post I got all kinds of hits from people searching Bill Clegg. Google him and get all the gossip. He's back in the agenting biz. And I will scan the memo and the rejection letter one of these day and post them. There's always hope as they say. We'll see if Obama can make a difference. It's one thing to have a leader, but people have to be willing to lead the leader in the right direction. People have to want to know the truth. In America, since the mid seventies at least, we have prefered lies. It's morning in America, etc. Will Americans deman electric cars and solar energy right away? Will they even replace their lightbulbs with CFLs? Mundane, boring, stupid stuff that would change the world. I am really sceptical. I do believe Obama will be much better than what we've had. A two-by-four would be better, after all. And he's a smart, shrewd politician. So there is hope. But I still see a deluded, recalcitrant, ignorant, infantilized, obese country out there.

Must confess, haven't seen here in a while. The election and all. I have heard this story before, but not in context. The agent went out of business? I don't think I've heard the Vietnam novel condensed as such before. Do you still think the nation is dying, post-Obama? Isn't there a kind of self-correction there which can generate some hope?
