I used to like Larry Elmore's work

LIBERALITY FOR ALL #1

It is 2021, tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of 9/11 It is up to an underground group of bio-mechanically enhanced conservatives led by Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North to thwart Ambassador Usama Bin Laden's plans to nuke New York City... And wake the world from an Orwellian nightmare of United Nations dominated ultra-liberalism.

(Read complete synopsis) or (see 5-page preview)

It's one of those train wreck moments. What I really find horrifyingly funny — and more horrified than funny, really — is that of all people, they choose as heroes Oliver "Iran Contra" North and G. Gordon "Watergate" Liddy. It's not even good satire; the writing is reminiscent, if anything, of one of Jack T. Chick's post-apocalyptic screeds, like "The Beast" and in particular, "The Last Generation".

You might want to take a shower after reading the preview. I know I did.

P.S. For some reason, chick.com is blocked by the Singapore government. Not that I'm complaining about this particular piece of censorship, mind...

You:

The summary you object to:

The F.O.I.L. Organization is forced underground by the “Coulter Laws” of 2007; these hate speech legislations have made right-wing talk shows, and conservative-slanted media, illegal.

Perhaps the author was on to something, after all.

Ah, but that I expect from Singapore, you see...

You know, I was about to ask who signed the "Coulter laws" in 2007, but apparently from the synopsis this is an alternate-history story starting from Gore winning the 2000 election.

I got about three paragraphs in before the utter disregard for editing got to be too much.

One of the things that worries me is that both sides of the divide seem to be building paranoid fantasies of the other seizing power and outlawing the opposition. It's a worry because my paranoid fantasy involves their paranoid fantasies becoming self-fulfilling...

Bah. How does your goverment justify the censorship of a man who is truly one of the most iconic comic minds of our generation? :)

Assuming this isn't just a misapprehension of chick.com as a porn site, I'd suspect that it's probably due to complaints from the Roman Catholic Church - we have pretty strict Religious Harmony laws.

I don't think that justifies denying access to the greatest treasture trove of comedy on the internet. Chick is hysterical!

No argument here, really. Remember, I have a complete collection of tracts up to c. 2002.

I'm trying to figure out how old G. Gordon Liddy will be in 2021. 'Cause I'm thinkin' he'll be something like 117.

[lonemagpie.livejournal.com]

Actually he'd be 91 - the IMDB pegs his birthday as November 30th 1930

Is that the TARDIS in the background of your userpic?

[lonemagpie.livejournal.com]

Yes it is -well, the Jade Pagoda iteration of it, anyway.

WTF?

Why is it that Conservatives and Liberals don't know what those words actually mean?
