450 trillion copies of glen beck's new book sold in first five minutes
glen says its because Americans are "starved for common sense." He says we need to WAKE UP and hold congress accountable because congress is ignoring the will of the people. He says President Obama is a liar and NO ONE IS CALLING HIM OUT ON IT. Not one person in the whole universe is calling President Obama a liar. Not One. No one. He also says if you see someone writing during his "comedy" tours to kill them because it would be a liberal writing a review. Glen is also fucking Goofy (which should piss off Minnie Mouse.)

We got to Wake Up and have another tea party America because not one Murkin was represented in last November's election. Not One.

The things you learn in a short drive to the grocery store.

1. They buy up their own books
It is well known that conservative organizations buy up books by their own whack-jobs to get them on the coveted best seller list. Literary masturbation.

15. And to keep the numbers solid they also have to keep the books
What an sane distributor would do if books don't sell is return them. It is called remaindering - where the cover is ripped off and returned for credit and the book recycled. The problem is that the sales numbers are then adjusted.

But not these twits. Nope they keep them in warehouses and then burn them so the numbers remain good.

3. Why is it that I'll see them in the bargain bin 4 months later then?
They have this big ol' stack at Borders. They don't sell and next thing you know they're in the 2-5$ bin.

4. beck is a lunatic. i think he is getting his presidents mixed up.
no one called bush out on his lying. which he did regularly for eight years. everything out of his mouth was a lie. and not one word. lots of people are calling obama a liar, even though he isn't.

5. Book deals are a way of paying off their operatives.
Newt Gingrich got 5 mill for his book which I swear no one read.

9. Hey wake up Havocmom
we're talking about people with conservative values and what they do with their hard earned by gawd murkin dollars. Ya know the vast majority of murkins are conservatives as was reflected in the last election. Wake up America and buy glen's book. Its all about common sense. Wake Up America.

23. Hey My Dear
No more then 10 minutes at a time and only when I'm in my ole truck taking care of my never ending honey do-list. I want them to confirm to me a couple of times a week why I intensely hate what they stand for.

16. I've told you about this...
Expect the supply of cellulose insulation at Home Depot stores nationwide to become enormous. Whole aisles dedicated to it. After all, we've got a LOT of conservative books to grind up.

20. Beck should give away his books to people who can't afford heating oil this winter
They should go up nicely in the fireplace.
