Finally a victory for writers: over the weekend, Jonathan Lethem just kicked Paris Hilton's scrawny little table-dancing heiress ass all over the court. A resounding victory for writers and non-heiresses everywhere.
Today's contest promises to be a little more interesting: Barrelhouse issue one contributor Stacey Richter vs. Gene Simmons.
Get over there and vote today.
Stacey Richter is a wonderful writer. Her stories are smart and funny and odd, and she actually let us publish one of them. We love her. We do. She's great.
It's just that we've never seen her shoot fire out of her mouth or spit blood, we have no idea how she looks with kabuki make-up, two foot spike heels, or a codpiece. Does she want to rock and roll all nite? We think so. We hope so. It's just that, well, she's never actually gone out and told us that she does, in fact, want to rock and roll. If she did want to do it, she'd most likely prefer to rock and roll all "Night," as opposed to "Nite." And I may be reading too much into this here, but to me, that's just the difference between rocking and rolling until midnight and rocking and rolling until that magical hour of "question mark." To say nothing of partying ev-er-y day.
Which is to say: this is going to be a tough one.

maybe it's a generational thing or something, but I just can't stand Gene Simmons.
Especially not after that awful show he did on VH1 last year.
Wolf Blitzer now reporting that Stacey Richter has virtually locked up the Youth Vote.
Old men with mullets, jean shorts, denim jackets, viagra in their pockets, and driving trans ams are said to be voting for Simmons en masse, as is the state of New Jersey.
Soccer moms split: Stacey is warmer, they way, but Gene and his potent fire/blood spitting combination are tougher on terror.
This one could come down to the Aaron Pease vote, ladies and gentlemen.
