There’s an easy way to stop this - just buy enough books so that we can outsell this Grisham character and retire. The power is in your hands.
Oh, and it’s still half price today…

"I'm not going to be conscripted into saying... how sorry I am for him and his family" - Hitchens on Falwell on Fox
I'm reminded of how the late Christopher Hitchens reacted to Jerry Falwell's death, by lambasting his political legacy, with Sean Hannity on Fox at the time.

Q: What do the adult classroom “guides” (not called teachers) who assist the AI-driven learning in these “schools” have in common with ICE agents?
A: They both make 3-figure salaries, in a country where the average public school teacher makes ≈1/2 of that.

I agree. Such a stunning piece of film and Mitchum is outstandingly sinister.
One of the greatest films ever made. 👍🏻
THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER premiered on this day 70 years ago in Des Moines, Iowa, to negative reviews. As a result, it was the only film directed by Charles Laughton, truly unique in every way, and an utter masterpiece. A grim, poetic, fairy tale, slathered in beauty, suffused in American Gothic...
