The apocalypses were indeed weird. And the list of books were truly annoying to this liberal. Grrr.I may read some of those Midwest books. They sound interesting. Actually, I may read some of the weird apocalypse books too. And they better take some action against that pervert prof. Icky.
Thanks for the usual fun and interesting Weekend Edition.
