Does your carnivoro-cannibalism know no shame?! No link for the only vegetarian news item in the Morning New this year! Discrimination! No vegetable marriages! You'd probably authorizing waterboarding for vegetables if you ever got elected president. That's right, you probably think those vegetarians hate you for your bacon! Arrrrggghhh!

When you said there were more "adult fiction readers" I thought you meant more people reading adult fiction, ie porn. Then I clicked on the link and discovered that the article was about more adults reading fiction. Way to produce a letdown.
