> [@Tuckerfan](#): > > “We found that not only is it responsible for the celestial object now being referred to as ‘The Axis of Evil,’ but also the recent storm surge which devestated New Orleans.” Said Dr. Tiddles of the IAU. “It turns out to be the latest novel by Anne Rice. We’re testing theories now that indicate a large hunk of anti-matter directed towards Ms. Rice will destroy this new object. If not, then the entire universe is doomed.” Do we have to pull J.D. Salinger out of seclusion to pilot the suicide probe into Anne’s writing room? (That’s leaving aside the problem of choosing the cocky, hotshot co-author that the old guy sacrifices himself to save. Did Keanu Reeves ever write anything?) ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Considering that her son Christopher is gay, I sure hope she won’t change her views! Yeah- but I was trying to give some comfort to those who might think that since Anne’s come to Jesus (and why is this a surprise to anyone who has followed her career for the past few years?), she was gonna suddenly become a C’tian Righty. I wouldn’t mind if she did join us on the Right, but I don’t see it happening. So a shout out to Anne, stay gay-accepting but move away from the pederasty & please keep it out of any JC books! ---

In a related story, Rice’s son Christopher has joined his mother’s cause by announcing his next book will focus on a whiny gay boy who is the son of a bestselling vampire novelist turned Christian writer. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > The synopsis of that Jesus book sounds horrible. She certainly doesn’t know much about the scholarship. Well, ignorance in the field of protochristian scholarship certainly didn’t stop Dan Brown. Or hurt his sales (though it did hurt my brain, when I tried to read his book – too much ignorance to ignore). But hey, whatever – Rice’s work had started sucking other things than blood years ago. At least there is a silver lining if she reverted to Catholic, rather than going the evang/fundie route. I mean, Ultraorthodox Catholic Mel Gibson was able to channel it into the kind of dark, violent, uncomfortably-undertoned bloodletting the masses just live for… 😉 ---
