I just found out that Stephen King showed up at anti-war

[graywarrior]

demonstrations here in Florida at the very beginning of the Iraq war.

Neat, huh?

[Dudley_DUright]

1. I remember reading something about that at the time

and thinking that I did not even know he lived in FL (assuming he still lived in Maine). I guess the warm weather probably helps with all the pain he has to deal with after his accident.

[Maine-ah]

6. he does still live in Maine.

he goes to Florida in the winters, like many people do.

[ReadTomPaine]

2. Yes, tho it would be even better if he and others pooled their vast ...

fortunes and started to construct an alternative to the RW echo chamber. I'd be happy with a few major new liberal newspapers and 24/7 high profile news outlets to start.

The RW does this all the time, I wish wealthy progressives would do the same. It's an embarrassment to have to pass the hat around looking for handouts whenever we have a political crisis. There are plenty of fabulously wealthy dems, why don't they spend their money on the future of their party & country like Republicans do?

3. Wow.

[Coexist]

5. .

:wow:

[Gabi Hayes]

4. good for him! now, if only....

he could learn to write

[graywarrior]

7. And stop being so tall.

[Gabi Hayes]

8. ha! knew something like that was coming

good one

how'd you know?

[graywarrior]

11. That he is tall? I stood next to him up yonder in Maine

Or that he was at an anti-war rally? I just know.

[Gabi Hayes]

15. oh...heh....I was waiting for somebody to give me s*** for saying

something about the quality of his writing

thought you were making an oblique diss reference to me

glad to see that somebody with his high profile is making himself seen in oppo, though

good for him

[graywarrior]

16. I like his wife's writing.

[ShortnFiery]

13. Yes, I wish that we could reform Dean Koontz ... to our ranks ...

But we'll claim Stephen King anyway. :P

[Vidar]

9. Good to hear. Thanks.

[dannofoot]

10. Oh, the poor freepers..

..yet ANOTHER one to add to their boycott list.

At this rate, within two years, the only films, books and music they will (as they state)patronize will be the "Left Behind" series and Pat Boone, respectively.

[ReadTomPaine]

12. You can scratch Boone too. Since he released "In a Metal Mood"...

he's been roundly criticized by his conservative fanbase.

[graywarrior]

14. What a crying shame.

Now it's not just his suede shoes that are blue.

[Lisa]

17. his holiday lights display last year ...

Somehow makes the spooky ol' Gothic mansion look a lot more welcoming!

[upi402]

18. good n/t

[high density]

19. He spoke briefly at a Kerry/Edwards rally up in Orono, ME in '04 as well

He's definitely not pleased with Bushco.

[graywarrior]

20. His new book CELL is filled with criticism of the Bush admin.
