And that’s only the number two. The number one best seller is about teen-agers dying of cancer!
A sampling of one star reviews:
- I couldn’t tell what parts are true and what parts are made up to cover the truth. But then I thought, What difference does it make?
- Five pages in I realized I’d wasted my money.
- Longest campaign speech ever by self-absorbed narcissist.
- Seemed like a lot of fluff needed to fill a certain number of pages.
- You’d think with their millions, they could hire a better ghost writer than the one who wrote this book.
- More entertainment value reading the Hong Kong phonebook in reverse.
- Grossly inaccurate and misleading.
- Three thumbs down.

Got this in my Fox News email: HILLARY: THE MORE THEY SEE HER, THE LESS THEY LIKE HER “A new Gallup poll shows Clinton down a dozen points since leaving her post as secretary of state, with a 5-point drop since February. Partly that is because Clinton’s candidacy is forcing perceptions through a more partisan prism and partly because she is disappointing the massive expectations she and her campaign organization have created for her.”

Also in Fox News email:
“During a speech in Chicago, Hillary Clinton likened her campaign against Obama to “way back with a senator from Illinois named [Abraham Lincoln] and a senator from New York named [William] Seward.”
Except hmmm … Lincoln was never in the U.S. or Illinois Senate. In fact, when he ran for president, he was not holding a political office (unlike certain people who were drawing fat salaries for jobs they were too busy campaigning to actually perform).
He was the U.S. Rep from Illinois’s 7th district from March 4, 1847 – March 4, 1849 and before that a member of the Illinois House of Representatives from December 1, 1834 – 1842. So he was never like Obama, who was a U.S. Senator from Illinois and a member of the Illinois State Senate.

I think she is going to regret that “We were flat broke” comment, and the “Those 5 are not a danger to the US” comment. But she will have some sleazy explanation for why what she said was not what she said. People are getting sick of it. I really sensed that at the polls. I think if we work, we can really make a difference this year. This week is giving me hope.

I have been thinking about the deep-seated prejudice many voters have towards the Republican brand.
I had it, though I wasn’t aware of it until the Right to Life party folded and sent me a letter recommending I register Republican.
I literally felt sick to my stomach at the idea, which shocked me no end. I had NO IDEA that was buried in my subconscious!
I registered Republican for the sake of the unborn; NYS has registered voter only primary voting. But it took me making a real effort to learn about the GOP’s history to move me from grudging acceptance toward pride.
Not proud of the RINOs, goodness knows, but it’s not about the scum at the top; it’s about the principles and the mission. Dearest volunteers a lot of hours to make our local GOP reflect the best of the best. It’s also about reality. No third party candidate is going to win.
Anyway … my point to you, Ting, is that I think putting some effort, maybe ad dollars, into educating and promoting the true facts about GOP vs. Dems would help some of those deeply disillusioned, die-hard Democrats to actually WANT to vote Republican.

Here is something good: http://www.nationofchange.org/eric-cantor-s-opponent-beat-him-calling-out-gop-corruption-1402587193
This was posted by one of my most progressive Facebook friends. She is reflexively liberal, if not down right socialist. She will admit this herself, and she is such a brilliant woman that I have never understood it. Ever since the election results Tuesday night, she and her progressive friends have been moaning about how now we have an even “bigger tool” than Cantor, who they despised with every fiber in their being.
But then she reads this on her Progressive guru website, and she doesn’t know what to think. “Interesting” she comments, and one of her loyal progressives reads it and he doesn’t know what to make of it, either. “I thought he was part of the tea party movement”, he says! “But I’m still worried”, he says. They cannot find anything in that article of David Brat quotes with which to object! And the coolest part is that they are really reading Sarah Palin’s message, but they don’t know it. They would never read the same words if it were by Sarah, but David Brat has a Ph.D. so they give him some credence. If Sarah were ever to get out there and run and get her words out there to an electorate who would be paying attention, because after all, it IS Sarah Palin, then Katie bar the door. Occupy, meet the Tea Party. Now shake hands and get to work together to get rid of the crooks.
