No Logo

On Game of Thrones I liked Anguy the archer who's in the Brotherhood Without Banners with Thoros of Myr. Tywin called it a pretentious name but that's often what authoritarian conservatives do to anything that opposes them, like liberals. Locke found Jaime pretentious as well.

And Lady Oleanna, the Queen of Thorns, reminds me of Gore Vidal!*

*And Hitchens! The way she ordered about the help. "You'll bring the cheese when I want it and I want it now." Hitchens could be bitchy and demanding at a rude waiter or cab driver. Her confidence and articulateness, speaking in paragraphs;  the way she showed no fear and understated her reaction to the revelation that the rumors are true and Joffrey's a monster. "Well that's a pity."
