It's a hoot.

I felt guilty about finding this funny until I realized that their complaint actually produces its own levity,

and it makes me puke a little.

High Plain Writers: The Conservative Arts Renaissance. There's five of them, I think. But how's this for an author's photograph, Jim? (Thanks for the head's up, Laura.)

I like "fruited plain."

These guys have been around since 1995 - they had a pirate theme then. I really preferred the pirate theme.

You know their backstory? I think it's in there; years ago they had workshops w/ JC Oates and Toni Morrison (? - I think) at Princeton, who allegedly told them their sonnets about the "glories of science" were immature and they might be better off taking a lower-level workshop. So they (naturally) took it as an ugly manifestation of some Jewish-liberal conspiracy to turn "Prin$eton" into a money-laundering scheme. And, uh, something about irrationalists. I dunno. They're really into Shakespeare.
