No, no, no, you have it backwards! The ones who are blacklisted DON'T
get their next book published. The ones who support the blacklisting,
DO get their books published.

The ones who publish their own books ALSO get THEIR books published,
plus, they can blacklist EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD from their
crackpot basement printing press, of they so desire, which actually
better describes my own particular situation. I have blacklisted not
only you, and literally hundreds of other lower case wonders, but also
VIACOM ITSELF and ALL its holdings. You will NOT see Time Magazine
published under SubGenius Foundation auspices. We have BLACKLISTED Time
Magazine from being published by ANY of our corporate offices, from
SubConCoInc.Com in Austin to Bulldada Time Control Labs in Cleveland,
to Sweikirkjeirt Kneiidervennersveltshter in Amsterdam.

God took both my agent, Jane Browne, and my editor, Tim McGuinness, off
to Heaven, because He needed His book published, too, I guess. I wonder
when it will come out. The last time I talked to anybody in New York
publishing was 1994, or 5, whenever Revelation X was printed. That was
the last time me and the book publishing business needed anything from
each other, so it's a moot point. But the great agent Jane Jordan
Browne had asked me to stop sending her manuscripts from my buddies,
like I had been doing, anyway. Now that she's dead, I'm hardly going to
go to the trouble of sending her manuscripts from some lower case
wonder I've never heard of, who calls me chump when I don't drop what
I'm doing to boost his career.

Why.... *sputter##$#^&&#* *FUME*.... I'll have you know, my good man,
that "Freaking X-Day," as you call it, has been put off for no less
than 6 and a half years! "TWO YEARS"... Why, the very idea!

And I think you mean "rejects from the sf/comics cons," don't you?
Please, don't associate us with those OTHER rejects.

This caused me to recall an utterance of the great A. Whitney Brown:
"I think I speak for all white trash when I say that we don't want to
be associated with the redneck peckerwoods."
