Thanks Erica, but that's a low bar. You did read the full title of my book right? The euthanize grandma and raging homosexual bit?

I was hoping Drew would stop by for a couple of comments, but no dice.

I've been impressed by the

I've been impressed by the classical stylings of Contactus Aboutus.

(When the original poster said we were about to take a good thing too far, he didn't know how right he was.)

And the Young Turk, Termzuv

And the Young Turk, Termzuv Use.

I went out with his sister in college, Termzuvab Use.

Somebody's gonna go jihad on me for that joke now, aren't they?

I like that Jewish guy, Hitzof Thedai - seems to be most popular as well.

Or IS it?

I like the looks of this new kid they've hired, "Reader Blogs."

I'll bet he's Dutch. And they're helluva intellectually serious.

Helluva.

But isn't it a lot easier to absorb knowledge through a hat than go through all that work of reading? I thought that's why the Tea-partiers always wore those tri-corner chapeaus.

In reply to No, their publicist just

Well then, I feel ok about saying that this book strikes me as one of those Corporate Church of Feeling Good books that exists only to tell a CEO or mid-level executive how smart he was to buy it, and to suggest he purchase copies for the rest of the employees--or even better, a company-wide PowerPoint Presentation and Conference With Workshops at a nearby Marriot Hotel: so that we will all know how smart our boss is, and how much he cares about us and wants us to be able to synergize the future like he can. (This type of book, in my experience, only speaks to male executives which is why I'm saying "he.")

And the rest of us will leave our desks to sit in sullen silence on uncomfortable chairs at the Marriot, trying not to roll our eyes at slides with titles like "Alpha Voices and the Six-Year Transitionary Period" and wondering if the fresh fruit at the buffet will be better than it was after Who Moved My Cheese, Seven Habits, or Six Sigma.

Mother trees terrify their baby trees with stories about disobedient trees reduced to paper for books like these; the baby trees whimper in shame at the thought of being lined up on some CEO's shelf like so many ex-wives, and promise to grow straight and strong in future.

In other words, I'm pretty sure that your status as the most intellectually serious published author at Dagblog is in no danger.

It's not one of moat's hats that Mr Drew wants you to buy to get your questions answered, it's a book. A direct link to the Barnes and Noble page is embedded for your convenience.
