If [rape is a synonym for rob or plunder] then I think President Obama is really raping the American taxpayer, and he’s not even giving us a dinner or a glass of wine or cocktail.

Why would anyone buy someone dinner or a drink before robbing or plundering them? His own stupid attempt at humor proves the fact that he’s not actually using the word in the sense he claims.

I love writing but hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, “You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, giftless. I’m not your agent and I’m not your mommy. I’m a white piece of paper, you wanna dance with me?” And I really, really don’t.

It is so comforting to know that even Aaron Sorkin feels this way, because it’s how I feel every. single. time.

It’s true. Blank white pieces of paper are dicks.

There’s more than escapism going on here. Why do we seek out these hard places for our fantasy vacations? Because on some level, we recognize and claim those disasters as our own. We seek out hard places precisely because our lives are hard. When you read genre fiction, you leave behind the problems of reality — but only to re-encounter those problems in transfigured form, in an unfamiliar guise, one that helps you understand them more completely, and feel them more deeply. Genre fiction isn’t just generic pap. You don’t read it to escape your problems, you read it to find a new way to come to terms with them.
This is a perfectly sane and reasonable position.
