Could you please stop bringing back Whitley Streiber? Next time you take him, just keep him.

Well, see, we need guys like Streiber for our counter-intelligence training. Every agent much kidnap a suitably simple lower life form and effectively disseminate propaganda into the subject culture. Agents are encouraged to be as creative as possible, because we get a cut on all book/movie deals (see anal probing, above).

Are you suggesting that the test to become an operative includes causing Whitley Streiber to go missing, messing with his head and implanting weird suggestions into his brain?
Jesus, you guys need a better test. The blinking yellow light at the intersection qualifies.

It doesn’t have to be Streiber. Any simple life form will suffice. The top graduate this year did Cheney. The scoring is avoiding capture, amusing the instructors, and generating media coverage.
Can’t use the yellow blinker. The Illuminatti patented that, and the royalties are outrageous.

So. L. Ron Hubbard. Visionary, madman, or source of endless amusement?
And is Battlefield: Earth The worst thing ever to appear in the Universe, or just the worst movie?
And in an effort to avoid the unexcluded middle: Or was it a documentary?

Hubbard is to literature as Yokozuna* was to ballet dancing.
Battlefield Earth was endurable as a book, when there was nothing else unread on the shelf. I’d rather go to a rap concert** than sit through the movie.

**My musical tastes run to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, etc.
