Armchair Gen. Savin Hill demoted, Part II
Armchair Lt. Savin Hill strikes back:
Hub Blog rests its case. The guy is clearly immature. ...
Yesterday's high-art discussions (see below) prompted me to go out and buy Robert Parker's 'Double Deuce' and 'Paper Doll.' But by sad pulp-novel coincidence, I learned that Mickey Spillane died earlier this week. How did I miss that? I'll blame it on the Big Dig. Mike Hammer. Now there's a guy who wouldn't have taken any Bechtel guff. ... OK, I also broke down and got Cobra II.
Armchair Lt. Savin Hill strikes back:
I make no apologies for a short attention span - I'm a red-blooded American after all. I'm reading the non-fiction bestseller 'Shooter' now and what's in the first 5 pages? No less than a full-blown Somali firefight with sniper teams blasting enemy gunners to pieces while Cobra gunships blaze away overhead with hot spent shell casings pouring on the lot of them. Now that's writing!
Signed, 'Maximum Leader' Savin Hill
