Same Crap, New Year – “Rabid Puppies” Take 2

April 26, 2016 by Lyda Morehouse Leave a Comment

The Hugo Nominations for 2016 were announced on Tuesday, April 26, sometime around noon CST… and I am at a loss for words: It looks like the Rabid Puppies have managed to make a mockery out of fantasy/science fiction’s most well-known award.

Why Are All My Science Fiction Fan Friends Screaming “SAD PUPPIES” Incoherently? The Hugo Awards, Of Course
