A convicted killer. A published author.

Strange story.

Thoughts on the ethics involved?

I sure do read more when the politics thread is shuttered.

If he thinks things look bleak now, wait until he sees that first royalty check.

See, we're looking out for you.

All you have to do is murder someone to send your kids to college.

Last year, Jarrett Haley, the founder of a small literary magazine, Bull, gave a selection of the stories to a literary agent, Sandra Dijkstra. A few days after she signed Mr. Dawkins, Ms. Dijkstra sold the stories to Scribner for a low-six-figure advance; Mr. Dawkins’s share goes into an education fund for his children.

How bad do you want to be a published author? Bad enough to kill?

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

He'd have nothing to write about if he hadn't killed someone and gone to prison.

Reminds me of the great SNL sketch with Eddie Murphy as Tyrone Green, the Angriest Poet of the Bedford-Stuyvesant School of Poetry. This is the best known segment thereof. The piece -- can't find the whole thing -- begins with Swifty Lazar, literary agent, saying, "I tell my clients: If you commit a crime, we'll talk."

Worst part of that is that super dink @YankeeFan is now popping up in disparate forums. I liked him largely confined to the politics thread where he could retweet **** and argue in defense of the moron in chief. Now he's like the undead walking around aimlessly.

Now I picture Yankee Fan as that guy on the end credits of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. "Grrr. Arrgh."

In the words of Starman, suck it up.

Does nobody know how to use the quote function??

 

[YankeeFan]

Don't worry folks. The politics thread will re-open soon, and we'll finally have a forum to make fun of how fat and dumb Chris Christie is and discuss how out of touch and ungrateful Nikki Haley is.

You were fast -- and used the quote function properly!

Was it a good move for him to go to the beach, when there was a government shutdown and all state parks and beaches were closed to the public? Is he not a fat slob?

I'm convinced Starman is actually one of the moderators' alter ego.
