On 'Clan Of The Cave Bear': Neanderthal Fan Fic
Also, maybe not quite a classic villain but certainly memorable to me. The Wolves of Willoughby Chase: Miss Slighcarp. WHY was she hired?

Was reading Rebecca the other day. Is that classic trash? Has it been covered? ANYWAY, regarding villains the protag should have promptly dealt with - certainly the second Mrs. DeWinter should have fired Mrs. Danvers. I know she was too weak and insecure to do so, but ehhh, you know?

On Sonia Sotomayor Follows in Clarence Thomas' Footsteps (And Sells Memoir)
Re - Clarence Thomas: It's weird when someone writes a memoir and what comes from it is the understanding that he doesn't know who he is or what he really cares about. Sandra Day wrote one too. About growing up in Arizona. ZZZ.

On Only Clarence Thomas Brave Enough To Protect Bigots from Angry Gays
I think the hat tip goes to Scalia in this instance:
"There are laws against threats and intimidation; and harsh criticism, short of unlawful action, is a price our people have traditionally been willing to pay for self-governance. Requiring people to stand up in public for their political acts fosters civic courage, without which democracy is doomed. For my part, I do not look forward to a society which, thanks to the Supreme Court, campaigns anonymously and even exercises the direct democracy of initiative and referendum hidden from public scrutiny and protected from the accountability of criticism. This does not resemble the Home of the Brave."

On What Are The Best Audiobooks For A Road Trip?
Mom and I did the first four HP (Jim Dale version) on a X-country road trip in 2001. If you can, Lonesome Dove. Seriously. "Dove Audio presents..." Read by Lee Horsely. I have an office job and this got me through spring, 2011. At first I was dubious - but then I got used to the voice (cowboy twang) and got into it. Also, Michael Jayston reads the George Smiley spy novels (he also reads some PD James), and Jennifer Ehle reads Madeleine L'engle. AND Jon Krakauer reads Into Thin Air.
