God I hate Harlan Ellison.

Science fiction sells very well in the U.S.A. It may not always occupy the top 10 of the charts, but that could be because there is so much of it - I think I read somewhere that something like 1/3 of all fiction published in the US is SF.

Ack, getting off track here…

Anyway, there are occasionally good comics on BET. Almost always it is female comedians, though. I would never watch it, though, if not for my wife.
