Dark Bilious Vapors

But how could I deny that I possess these hands and this body, and withal escape being classed with persons in a state of insanity, whose brains are so disordered and clouded by dark bilious vapors....

03/01/2005: Nutjob on the Nebula Jury


Alameida at Unfogged has discovered "Christian libertarian" misogynist crackpot Vox Day (whom I've previously blogged about at Signifying Nothing, here and here).

It seems that Vox Day, or Theodore Beale (his real name, apparently), is one of the 2004 Nebula jurors in the novel category. Judging from this quote, there will be No Girls Allowed at the Nebula awards:

The mental pollution of feminism extends well beyond the question of great thinkers. Women do not write hard science fiction today because so few can hack the physics, so they either write romance novels in space about strong, beautiful, independent and intelligent but lonely women who finally fall in love with rugged men who love them just as they are, or stick to fantasy where they can make things up without getting hammered by critics holding triple Ph.D.s in molecular engineering, astrophysics and Chaucer.
