People who are shocked when they find out Stephen King is a liberal baffle me. Like, pretty sure you can gather he's a liberal just by reading his stories.

@MchughJess "Any amount of Bukowski" I like Bukowski, although I think most of the people who claim to like him overlook his tender "God I Wish I Didn't Have to Play This Macho Dude for Aggro-F*ckhead Crowd" moments. Bukowski's greatness is in when he admits how he himself is damaged.
