| Barbra Streisand writes SF & Sarah Hoyt gives her a professional review |
| 2017-09-26 |
| h/t Instapundit Look, we live in strange times. It seems that every time I turn around I hear of another science fiction magazine being in trouble, and yet, wouldn’t you know it, the Puffington Host has decided to publish some and picked Barbra Streisand to write it. It’s not very good, of course. No one really expects this "celebrity written fiction" to be wonderful. Normally the done thing is to pair the "name in another field" and an experienced writer, like what is happening with Clinton and Patterson. But Barbra has decided to go it on her one and the result.... Well, it’s funny. We just don’t think it’s entirely intentionally funny. Also, we won’t lie: some of the funny had us crying a little, because, well... you know... Props for her beginning, which establishes clearly that we are in a parallel world with the following: May our country learn a lesson from this tragic mistake of 2016. |

| #1 I mean, if we had first blacks, then women, we’d eventually around 2040 be reduced to electing the only Black, lebanese, one-legged, deaf dyslexic woman in the country. I don't know why some people do this instead of something useful. If you start considering all the diverse victimhood groups and stringing them together as above, what has one achieved? Nada. The sun will burn out before you accomplish anything. |
