Getting into a Row with Rowling

You'd think J.K. Rowling would have better things to do with her time than TWEET.

She's one of the richest authors in the world, and one who is always threatening to write another five or ten NON-Harry Potter books just to show what a genius she is.

Bang, here's another, under an assumed name. And another. And, oh, what a surprise, they sell just as if EVERYONE KNEW IT WAS HER. What a poorly kept secret.

Yet she still has time for the short form, and getting into a Twitter feud:

Like most Tweeters, she does prefer the MEME. Just repeat what some smartass Photoshopped:

I haven't checked, but I'm sure she gets hundreds of Tweets from Potter fans, and dozens more from people who want her opinion, or might have something interesting to say. She doesn't seem to respond to any of that. It's REMAIN IN THE UK that concerns her most.

Why this is so important to her, I have no idea. She likes the status quo? She's afraid she might lose some money? Rich people CAN be misers.

Here's somebody who created an entire fairy tale world for herself, with a LITTLE BOY as the main character so...WHO BETTER to accept as an advisor on complicated matters of economy and integration?

One of the odd things about politics in general, is that utter twits in the entertainment field actually believe that their opinion should sway others. Like, "I made some movies you like, so do what I want," or in this case "I wrote some books you are so pathetic and unimaginative that you have turned into an obsession. So if I tell you REMAIN, you STAY PUT. Don't be a fucking Voldemort!"

One author NOBODY seems to read, but who is famous, is Salman Rushdie. He got a fatwa thrown at him by the Muslim nuts, but he doesn't seem to mind if 500,000 more Muzzies come storming into the U.K.

It would be quite ironic if some Jihadi John finally offed Rushdie, shouting "The Fatwa Is Avenged! Allah Akbar!"

Yeah, Salman is a REMAIN guy. He doesn't say why, he just says "IN."

Which may be what he says at Pleasuredome when he faces Mecca, naked, with his ass up in the air.

Or is this guy livin' in the USA most of the time?

Gee, thanks, Rowling, for re-Tweeting the persuasive, brilliantly worded comment of another world-famous WRITER.

"IN." Jesus Fuckin' Christ, I wish I'd written that.

Well, no, I would've written "OUT." A little more profound.
