We've hit the Literary Trifecta - Time to WooHoo!!!
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/05/books/bestseller/1005besthardnonfiction.html

#1 for 5 weeks (and narry a +) - Al Franken's LIES (AND THE LYING LIARS WHO TELL THEM)

#2 and first time on the list - MADAM SECRETARY, by Madeleine Albright with Bill Woodward. (Hey, she worked for Clinton - that counts)

#3 (and hopefully in my library this week) - THE GREAT UNRAVELING, by Paul Krugman.

Other notables on the NYTimes Best Sellers list:

#6 Laura Ingram's SHUT UP AND SING - What's that next to the Anne Coulter wannabe's name - great shrills act alike it's a (+). BTW, Laura, mind sending a copy of your book to Arnold in California. We'd love for him to shut and sing, couldn't be any worse than him feasibly being governor of California.

#7 LIVING HISTORY, by Hillary Rodham Clinton. - 15 weeks and selling like a charm. She's earned every penny of that $8mill they gave her to write that book. Probably because not once in those 15 weeks has anyone had to bulk order her book to boost sales. You go gal!!

#12 - Annie Coulter(+)'s TREASON has slipped out of the top 10. I suppose they couldn't bulk order to fake blonde neo-con shrills so Annie will disappear in about another week or so. Bye-Bye Annthrax - Hillary will send you a postcard from her ride at the top!! :hi:

#19 - Jim Hightower's THIEVES IN HIGH PLACES

#21 - Michael Moore's STUPID WHITE MEN. Sure, it's not in the top 20, but let's face it - the book has been around for well over a year and it's still selling. And he's got another book coming out next week - WOOHOO!!!!!

1. The RW folks.
Always have the dagger(+) after the listing. Bulk buys mean nothing. They give these putrid screeds away on RW sites.

Hooray for our authors that honestly sell books that people want and need to read.

4. I did mine from last night and bumped it
I think I did it at the same time you posted yours. Sorry about that. I wasn't trying to steal your thunder (just your underpants - WOOHOO).

Had I seen yours first I would have just jumped into the discussion about yours. I think it's extremely important that we promote our progressive writers and the issue about the bulk order.

Notice how Ingram is in the top 10 and Ann dropped out. I guess the neo-con pukes can afford to bulk order 2 of them into the top10

5. They can afford it
Edited on Mon Sep-29-03 09:05 AM by underpants
but I guess that they want Laura to have the limelight for a while.

Doesn't matter. The public is speaking and they say there is no audience for Liberal/progressive talk radio. :eyes:

BTW-I consider the Benjamin Franklin book to make it a suprfecta (top 4) Ben was one of the original pregressives as opposed to the conservative "tories" who wished to remain under the British crown. Remember THAT when you hear the "Repubes are more patriotic" crap.

6. That would be quadfecta
:shrug:

I'd get that book but I have a pile of about 12 books I need to read. I swear I buy some of these bulks just to help support progressive authors even though I'm finding less time to read them.
