I'm having a senior moment here; whenever I hear something
referred to as "Rovian", (ala Karl Rove), I flash onto something about one of our planets, kind of a Isaac Asimov thing, maybe about Mars. Can't for the life of me figure out where I heard or read it! Anyone? Thanks! :^]

1. Rovian-Jovian Confusion?
No story line comes to mind....

Jovian would of course refer to the planet Jupiter.

8. I Rather Think It Was Arthur C Clarke
and the story was Prelude to Mars.

9. Mercury would be my choice for him.
He might as well get used to Hell's fire.

10. Pluto Might Be Even Better
Erratic orbit, dwarf status, totally in the dark all the time, hell frozen over. Airless, lifeless, joke of a planetoid with its own moon.

11. I feel sorry for Pluto anyway, and I have no wish to see Rove's fat
nasty ass sitting on it. How about an eternity of orbiting the sun, and he could look down on earth and see how everything and everybody is returning to normal in spite of his criminal bullshit?

12. Rove Would Think The Solar System Was Orbitting Him!
Sounds like a win-win to me! You're the decider!

I decide to send him into outer space where he will forever be faced with the torture of looking down on earth as our environment recovers, people heal their lives, and his criminal candy-assed murderous henchmen good ol' boys spend the rest of their lives in torment as their testicles are crushed, they are electrocuted, sexually humiliated and force-fed!!!!! Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of cock-s_cking sons of bitches!!!!!!!!!!! I AM THE DECIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
