the outcomes if each one were to become President. lemme see, zombie armies of old people cut off their social security after starving or freezing to death. Exploding pipelines and rail cars after Canadian tar sands are transported maybe with the creation of malignant tar babies and fire monsters.

Just read his novel "The Dead Zone" and definitely watch the film. It is one of the best King novels brought to the screen. Martin Sheen's character could be any one of our repub candidates. You can also watch the pivotal scene on you tube,

I'm so through with Stephen King. Save the cliffhangers for short stories, not novels, you hack.

...Cell pissed me off. I threw that book into the Colombia River. I hope some sea lion somewhere is as disappointed in it as i was.
