Not surprizing to me.

1. You couldn't give me 3 of those books......

unless I was making a bonfire. }(

[Postman]

2. a "dagger" next to the title...

on the New York Times bestseller list indicates that mass quantities of the book were purchased by "someone" or "something".

What or who do you think are the purchasers of such bullshit propaganda???? How 'bout right-wing think-tanks, right-wing ultra-rich conservatives and the like. How else do you think these wastes of paper and ink make it to the New York Times bestseller list? Check it out for yourself. Its the truth.

12. The designation indicates bulk sales included

in the tally of sales. Amazingly the latest Andy Coulter book is the only one of the top 15 that has this designation.

This is obviously an indictment of the right wing web sites that, I assume are the ones buying in bulk. These web sites don't seem to think the conservative books can make it on its own merits.

3. For a Buck a piece I'd almost buy one for a laugh

It has to cost more than that to print. Plus they must be full of humor.

4. Looks like they want to create a mailing list, and using

$1 books as the lure.

6. They appeal to the lowest common denominator

These people don't think for themselves. Seriously. They let the hyperbole of Coulter's and Limbaugh's tell them what they are supposed to think and then look for material to support it.

7. I'll take two...

...one to shit on, and one to cover it up.

All kidding aside, go in to you local Sam's Club or dollar discount store. You'll see Coulter and the rest of those clowns there. Dirt cheap, too.

In fact, all I saw at Sam's when I was there last week was neocon paper wasters, Sam Walton's autobiography, and Kathryn Hepburn's autobiography, along with a bunch of cheap kids books and road atlases. No leftie stuff there, sorry.

Interesting that Hillary Clinton's book was not there, because if you pick up Walton's memoirsfrom the top shelf and open it up,you'll find a picture of Hillary (late 80's-early 90's version) posing with the other members of the Wal-Mart board of directors. Yes, she served on the board.

8. Romance novels sell well to....as does the National Enquirer.

9. The stains on Coulter's dress...

actually contain her own DNA!

10. the 4 Million dollar bribe by Murdock to Newt a week before the big vote

to allow foreign buy ups of American media was disguised as a book advance.. but for a book that had not been conceived of nor had a title... a book was later written for him.. but i did not sell, and the thousands of cases of books were rightfully ground up for toilet paper.

11. I dont believe that they sell very well at all.....

most folks who believe that stuff probably cant read very well anyway.

13. The UNTOLD reason conservative books sell so well

The publishers buy their own books in bulk! :evilgrin:

14. take 300 lbs for a $1

use for toilet paper or burn in fire place..
