There IS a well-written romance novel that is coming to the small screen next month on the Starz network. I personally didn't love it, but it's been a best seller for over twenty years and has a plot other than just sex: "Outlander." A 1940's nurse gets swept back in time to the Scottish Highlands in the 1700's. It's very dense historically and action-packed. Although there there is a homosexual rape of the hero in that book.

Sigh. I really don't get why some women are into that. Hopefully, the series won't dwell on it over much...who am I kidding? This is the station that aired the Spartacus series!

That’s is too bad. I liked the Sci-Fi movie by the same name.

I must have read a different book!

The main theme was bondage - it was a pathetic and juvenile style of writing. It induced my ‘haterade’ - R.James, or whatever her fake name is, hasn’t a lick of original thought.

“Obama voters.”

How right you are my friend.

The only female parts of the electorate that Obama locked up in 2012 was not women overall but just black women, of course, and white single women under the age of 50. These are otherwise known as the “Sex and the City” vote, the “Sandra Fluke” vote, or the slut vote.
