Twelve Books, which announced this week it signed a deal with four members of the elite security team from the annex of the US Embassy in the Mideast town, is paying a $3 million advance..."<br /><br />Probably because they know the "bulk-buy" rates from Wingnut Welfare groups, and have a clue about the individual 'walk-up simpleton' purchases.<br /><br />These are going to be books aimed at morons with a bit of discretionary money, and the IQ's of house-plants.<br /><br />And with the Reich Wing Wurlitzer pumping away, pushing any book, it's BOUND to sell more than %3 Million in total.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-42559152340308226982013-06-28T17:04:16.069-04:002013-06-28T17:04:16.069-04:00You really can't spend a lot of time worrying ...You really can't spend a lot of time worrying about the lingering effect of the perpetual right-wing smoke blowers without giving them at least something of what they want: a distraction.<br /><br />I take my cues from Obama himself: the best way to deal with the distraction is to create a better distraction.Chris Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139817527808942227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-82025550060843805982013-06-28T15:13:47.825-04:002013-06-28T15:13:47.825-04:00Pierce cover this today as well: http://www.esquir...Pierce cover this today as well: http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/peggy-noonan-cant-give-up-on-irs-scandal-062813Greg Haohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805996565667458046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-56753004322399119522013-06-28T14:24:10.696-04:002013-06-28T14:24:10.696-04:00The Peggy Noonan bit that you quoted, I'm not ...The Peggy Noonan bit that you quoted, I'm not sure what the context is.
