The reaction to this non-event, I mean people bringing their young children to sleep on a sidewalk in front of bookstores, is most depressing, as I read about it in my local daily asswipe. What's going on? Are these people, and there are - let's not kid ourselves, millions of them - are they immune to facts? They seem ready to follow this "decadent buffoon", as Ann aptly puts it, to a Guyana jungle and drink up that cyanide spiced Kool Aid. A cult, but a cult based on exactly what? The Gates of Heaven cult had some ideology, a definite set of beliefs, the Moonies, the Manson Gang too, but this? A second coming of the '70s talentless, drugged Obese Elvis?
It's the Oprah factor.
The final price for the 2 of them was $4000, though I'm a bit puzzled why anyone would so desperately want those books, signed or not.
May I presume this is satire? Of course they are immune to facts; they are liberals for a reason. This is why trying to argue with liberals using the facts as we know them is fruitless.
