Aren't we on DorothyL? The last few days it has certainly
seemed so.
Three things are now apparent:
1) Tim Wohlforth must be tarred and feathered in public no
matter how quick he is with a detailed apology/explanation of
his - still not precisely quoted - words on a panel at a
mystery convention.
2) All copies of Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye must be
rounded up and thrown into the furnace. Anyone stupid enough
to have enjoyed the film despite its outrageous disrepect for
its underlying twenty year old source material should be
tossed in along with the flick.
3) It's a good thing Altman passed away before he could mess
up a Ken Bruen book.
Ah, rara-avis. Home of the tough guy (and gal).
Hey, how about them Colts?

(I have a feeling I just nominated myself to be kicked. Big
time!)
