Operating Thetan

Why, one might wonder, why was necessary to invent Scientology? At K Marx the Spot World Headquarters, we suspect that it might have been necessary to make Mormonism look relatively plausible. (After all, when a tenet of your religion is that men get to be gods of their own planets someday, it would only make sense to encourage a religion in which hydrogen bombs are a key part of the creation myth.

So, it comes as no surprise to us that Willard Mitt Romney said such nice things about L. Ron Hubbard's famously awful novel Battlefield Earth.

This makes Bush's "my favorite philosopher is Jesus" answer look positively Lincoln-esque:

When asked his favorite novel in an interview shown yesterday on the Fox News Channel, Mitt Romney pointed to "Battlefield Earth," a novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. That book was turned into a film by John Travolta, a Scientologist.

A Romney rep has since pointed out that it's one of the governor's favorites: "He said Huck Finn was his favorite and has also said everything from Theodore Rex to Looming Tower are also good books." What's more, says spokesguy, "It's just a book."

Ask L. Ron Hubbard if it's "just a book."

Romney is a Fraud, Part I

Willard Mitt's own website proclaims his fiscal discipline.

Yet, his campaign's own filings show just the opposite. With fully nine months until the Iowa caucuses, he has raised some $23 million, but spent $11.7 million of that already. With fiscal conservatives like this, who needs Keynesians? The Romney campaign might be a clever bit of Robin Hood writ small, robbing the rich to give to everyone else, from law firms to advertising agencies to copy shops. It would be better to give the money to the poor, but the rich need to start somewhere.
