That's why it's titled "Tom Clancy's Obituary"

He was the Thomas Kincade of spy novels.

meh. hate to be mean (love to be mean) but he was a mediocre writer at best. not sure why we've spent the day in retrospective mode for...tom clancy.

although i guess 'retrospective mode' is better than 'we've fucked up the country again'.

thanks and fuck you republicans.

I thought Truman Capote has been dead for years. Oh, it's Tom Clancy. My bad.

Sidney Sheldon's been dead for fifteen years, and "he" is still cranking out books. I'm sure the Tom Clancy's Tom Clancy Writing Sweatshop will continue as long as there's a market. It's what he would have wanted.

You seem to have been re-booted. Are you really vecchiojohn? What have you done with him, you fiend?

Pretty sure the ones in office are going for Suzanne Collins.

I enjoyed his novels until he started in with the various series that he may or may not have written- they became rather formulaic and tended to read like a synopsis of a video game. RIP Tom

<strong>...with Tom Clancy dead, what are all the Neo-cons going to base their foreign policy on?!?!?</strong> Maybe J.K Rowling?

...does this mean Rethuglicans can no longer act like 4 star Generals because they played Rainbow 6?!
