There's a surprising amount of Hindu mythology in it. Which makes the book seem like a missed opportunity for those who are just interested in the historical scenario.

If school's out for the summer, and he doesn't have anything to do, maybe he can do some community service tutoring the children who live in San Diego's homeless shelters, whose lack of a fixed address bars them from school, and who have no toys, no safe place to play, and no access to books.

Seriously fuck this guy.

He shoulda shot some guy to death while playing cop. Then he could've gone to the Caribbean for his summer vacay.

Towards the end of that VF article, DdS notes that he's tutoring illegal immigrants in English and that they're making him rethink his previous formulation that the virtue of an immigrant is proportional to the distance he traveled to get to the U.S.

Gee, isn't that nice? Now if only every other dickwad conservative could be forced to interact with the people they target with racist invective, maybe the quality of our political discourse would go up.
