Let these guys get screwed for a change.

The authors argue that in reducing royalty payments, the publisher is maximizing its profits and the profits of its parent company at their expense.

Um, isn’t that what most of those authors are advocating for the rest of us? These people don’t even believe in their own ideology, at least not when it comes back and bites them in thir own ass.

Once again, we are going to need to purchase new irony-meters, this time probably military-grade.

This is the fundamental reason for labor to organize. Capital organizes, so why shouldn’t labor. Maybe these guys need to join the union? Send them a link to Mother Jones. Never mind. They would not get it.

As the scorpion said to the fox, you knew what I was when you climbed on.

With titles like these:

Reckless Disregard: How Liberal Democrats Undercut Our Military, Endanger Our Soldiers, and Jeopardize Our Security

or

War Crimes: The Left’s Campaign to Eliminate the Military and Lose the War on Terror

I just can’t imagine how they never ended up in my shopping cart at my local book store.

But that’s OK, cuz you asked “can’t we all just get along?”.

Didn’t he just complain about Ad Hominem attacks.

Thanks, Jane. I knew they were stupid, but THIS stupid? Even I am astonished. Too funny.

Thanks Teddy. Everyone should go read this whole thing – we’re talking off-the-hook comedy gold that just doesn’t come around often enough:

“It suddenly occurred to us that Regnery is making collectively jillions of dollars off of us and paying us a pittance.” He added: “Why is Regnery acting like a Marxist cartoon of a capitalist company?”

The weak grasp of economics displayed here – by someone who thinks of himself as a free market champion! – is just… words fail.

Yeah! Don’t they realize that Regnery has an excellent defense!
After all, without padding those sales figures with marked down books sold to discounters they would never be the famous tools they are today. That allowed Regnery to fool the NYTIMES and get much higer sales by obtaining a higher ranking on the Best-Seller list.

Hmmm, I find that MANY MANY companies act like a Marxist cartoon of a capitalist company. Why should Regnery be any different?

These “authors” seem to believe that if Richard Mellon Scaiffe wasn’t giving away copies to replace the Monkey Ward’s catalog as outhouse toilet paper that people would be paying full price for their brilliant tomes.

bwahahaha!

We’re spending Hundreds of Billions treating Iraq like an ant farm that won’t act right, no matter how Patriotically you might see it.

What’s the point?

You’re a good man for coming to visit the Lake, and I hope you’ll come back. You’re a decent guy, and this is a decent site.

However, we’ll likely barely maybe give your reputation respect, but you’re going to have to make your points with well-reasoned, principled arguments, not rah-rah. If you bring that, you’ll just get your feelings hurt by well-intended people trying to help you by citing the facts.

There’s no victory in Iraq. It’s a mistake no one wants to own.

A real leader, imvho, would make the mistake right, not cheerlead for the Troops paying for the mistake.

Can you see that?
