I bet he's read the book... as it strikes me as one he'd enjoy. That said, I just don't see the parallel between the book and dems? I look at how things are going in Virginia for example, and the idea that these guys are putting together some plot for world domination is somewhat laughable to me. It's nothing like 1984, where such events would be whitewashed or turned into propagandist victories. So I'd be interested in Ricky breaking it down for me, because I just don't see it.
And also, Ricky always critiques my critiques of music because he's got the better ear. So now that we've moved onto the subject if literature I figure I'll return the favor...
