Hippie Holmes even made the bold pronouncement that the mysterious Mr.
Hodges was so formidable that he was capable of making an ex-District
Attorney for one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the country
"cry". Hippie Holmes claimed that Mr. Hodges was capable of making the
author of "Helter Skelter" - as well as its protagonist - "cry".
Six days have passed since then and no objective existence can be found
on any publicly available source that "John Welsh Hodges" even exists,
let alone that he possesses the strengths attributed to him.
As time goes by, we will keep all readers informed about the Great
Search for the Missing Sleeping Giant. Until the Missing Sleeping
Giant actually SHOWS himself, we will continue to recount how many days
have elapsed since Hippie Holmes brought him to our attention.
Others have kept vigilant watch for The Loch Ness Monster and for
Bigfoot and for UFO's. But The Man Who Makes Vincent Bugliosi Cry will
be the object of OUR Eternal Watch. Everyone continue to stay tuned to
this station.
And not only that...Ben-Kook boldly stated that "Hodges" would be
coming out with his book at the SAME TIME (or SOONER even) than Mr.
Bugliosi's, even though (evidently, per Ben-Kook) the whole reason for
the "Hodges" book being written in the first place is to debunk all of
VB's LN-leaning stuff. And "Hodges" has only been "working" on his
anti-VB book for about "a year", too (per Ben). Yeah, that's
believable. Even Mark Fuhrman's slim and flimsy book took him approx. 3
years to dash off.
Quite obviously, Ben-Kook is using "Hodges" in order to "teach me a
lesson" (so to speak). He doesn't like the fact that silly ol' me has
been stupid enough to sing the praises of a book I've yet to read (Mr.
Bugliosi's of course). (I really don't give a damn what anyone thinks
in this regard, I'll tout VB's tome as often as possible anyway,
because I believe in the author's integrity and CS&L. So that's that.)
So, Ben has invented his own anti-VB author that he can tout, in
pre-book-release fashion, as "having the goods on VB".
This ploy is evidently supposed to give Ben-Kook some kind of "power"
that he thinks counters all of VB's words (no matter WHAT those words
are...because "Mr. Hodges", after all, "has the goods" on VB; so Ben is
safe no matter what).
It's obviously a "psychological" type of move by Ben-Kookster. (Or
maybe that should be "reverse psychology" actually.) I guess I'm
supposed to be learning a lesson on the evils of "pre-release" touting,
or something like that there.
Hmmm.....CT-Kooks....can't shoot 'em....can't reason with 'em either.
So, it's best to leave 'em to wallow in the gutter of unsupportable
CT-ism. Yeah...that's best indeed.

<GA calls across mountain range> "HEL-L-L-L-LO! MR. HODGES!" <Echo
resonating over lonely surroundings below>
p.s. I really don't think there will be a showdown, because V.B. won't
show up.
