Book Report (or how I wouldn't fuk ann coulter with your dik!)

A new weapon in the political battlefield is books
Books with divisive messages
Mean in their message
Loose in their facts
And over the top with their titles
Like:
“Necessary Idiots – How the Liberals Got it Wrong in the Cold War and Still Blame America First”
That’s not a title
That’s a talking point
(and speaking of getting it wrong – a couple of pages in the author states with authority that Sadaam Hussein “has weapons of mass destruction”… ooops!)
Another title:
“If it’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat – Crushing the Democrats in Every Election and Why Your Life Depends on It.”
As the author alludes to in the under-stated title
You will die if Democrats win elections
“Shut Up and Sing” was written by an attorney who thinks being an artist should exclude you from voicing an opinion.
(so how about, “shut up and chase another ambulance”)
The authors of these stealth volumns
most who now have practically unwatchable cable trelevision shows-
end up providing the liner notes of each other’s booksall talking about how essential
each other’s boks are
But I doubt anyone – even the authors –
expect these books will be read
They just want people to read –
and remember –
the titles

These books line the shelves
Like well-trained
Red Army (or Red State) soldiers
Goose stepping to the Talking Point Rag
But, beware,
Sometimes the shelves are infiltrated
By such upstarts with titles like,
“Jimmy Carter – The Nobel Peace Prize Lecture” or
“Ending Hunger Now” by George McGovern, Bob Dole and Donald Messer
But those books look more like hostages
Captive among the rest
My feeling that this is an unfortunate
misuse of books is tempered for my love of free speech
Still, I recently ventered into a bookstore
black magic marker in hand
looking for the Ann Coullter offering
“Godless – The Church of Liberalism.”
Her offense to me was not the outrageous content
But to outrageously attack people
- 9/11 families included –
just to get publicity to sell the book
My thinking was to graab the book
And write the letters B-I-T-C-H
Bold and black
Across the front cover
And then put the book back on display
And then move on to the next bookstore
A statement to be sure
But when I grabbed the first book
At a borders near New London
I backed off
Not because I was worried about the consequences
But because I didn’t want to be as negative as these people
Especially Ann Coulter (did I mention that she is a fuck'n skanky media whore bitch!)
And my actions would be compounding her misuse of books...
God bless free speech
