GOP candidates and talking heads are claiming that the timing of the Iraqi pullout is politically motivated and condemning Obama for it. Perry, Bachman, McCain et al are all asserting that it’s rushed and wrongheaded…even though it’s being done on the schedule established by Bush.

So when Obama kills bin Laden, they give props to Bush, declaring that W.’s policies made it possible even though W. stated on record that he didn’t give bin Laden much thought anymore…

…but when Obama adheres to Bush’s policy and deals that Bush made for a withdrawal schedule, it’s Obama just being a politically motivated dìçk?

You know what? Good luck to the GOP making this one fly. Selling the notion of “How dare that bášŧárd Obama get our young men and women out of a warzone that we never should have been in in the first place” is going to be an uphill battle at best. If anything, it’s the GOP talking heads who are going to look as if THEY are playing politics, trying to put a negative spin on something that I have to think most Americans have wanted to see happen.

With the July/August issue of F&SF now off sale, I thought I’d draw your attention to the fact that my novelette was reprinted on www.suvudu.com. If you haven’t already read it, this is your opportunity. If you like it, let your friends know. Thanks.

Anyone want to tell me if we should feel guilty over THIS guy being killed?

The thrills! The excitement! The match-up that everyone has been zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Herman Cain is a big advocate of the 9-9-9 taxation plan, as previously proposed in Sims4. And everyone knows that video games are tools of the Devil. And in coming in out of pretty much nowhere, he’s turned the political establishment on its head. Turn 9-9-9 over and what do you get?

Coincidence?

So a guy in a dead-perfect Wolverine outfit came by my table at the New York Comic Con. Also present were Kathleen, her friend Reid Cooper, and the puppets of Xavier and Magneto from “X-Men: First Class” that she’d made. So we decided to shoot, on the fly, a re-creation of Logan’s now legendary cameo (complete with profanity intact, so you’re warned.)

Enjoy.

I will be set up most of the next three days over in Artists Alley at Table U1. Tragically, neither Bono nor the Edge will be at the adjacent table, although we will have the next best thing: J.K. Woodward. So if you want your “Fallen Angel” or your copy of “The Camelot Papers” signed, now’s the time.

Friday at 1 PM, I’ll be signing at the Marvel booth. At 5 PM I’ll be signing at the Evil Ink table promoting my work with Coheed and Cambria.

Saturday at 11 AM I’m on a panel about Independent publishing, promoting Crazy 8.

Sunday at 3:30 PM I’m on the mutant panel.

See you around.
