Why You Should Buy My Book

I'm in a financial squeeze, ever since those ATF busybodies shut down my gun rental business. They say I'd better get a lawyer.

Hey, is that a Tears for Fears compilation CD I see in your collection? Yes, it is.

I know, I know: you sent money to Scott Brown's campaign and Haitian relief. I grant that was more important. Still. It's been three weeks since I've had a beer.

If you are the piteous sort, or a little buzzed, check out the animated gif in the sidebar with the spouty leviathan, and buy my book. Thank you.

I bought the downloadable version; do you get the same cut on it as the dead tree one?

  Now that blows chunks. The only constant between the two is the talented writing you put into it. Production and delivery costs are far less. Someone needs to renegotiate that deal.

Got the dead-tree version. Lulu needs to rethink its packaging process. Box was big enough to hold a wall calendar, and there was your little book, shrink-wrapped to a piece of cardboard the same size as the box, half-suffocated and looking very alone indeed.

Even so, I’ve read the intro and skimmed the rest. First of all, I want to know why I don’t figure more prominently, and second, that was great stuff you said about Jeff and PW.

I don’t think Jeff can Return in the sense that he can go back writing the same kinds of things, if for no other reason than “the paradigm has changed” (as Beck is fond of saying), and it’s no longer sufficient to describe the problem and say where it’ll lead if Something Doesn’t Change.

Because nothing changed, and it led there, and now what?

Unless he get some good Civil Disobedience going on, I’m not sure I can read Harangues As Usual and have it be enow.

Escapism or action, that’s what.

  Yeah, I agree, but the first step is . . . he needs to get back into the habit of writing, publicly, daily. Thanks so much for the kind comments on the intro, too. I hope the contents don’t disappoint or prove too time-bound.
  
  I do mean to get around to a bestiary of great commenters (not that you’re not a great blogger, but I love me some commenters), and you would certainly figure there.

    I fear that he is in the grip of despair, now that They are in office.
    
    And I was just kidding about figuring prominently in the book. Besides, I’m not a beast, I’m an herbaceous woodland perennial. :D
