Sarah Palin's advance?
|
|
|
I thought that was worth .0202 per word
|
|
|
Me too. But I guess harpercollins disagreed. ;-)
(In case you're wondering, I don't think the Politico story is worth commenting on.)
Cheers, Scott. |

Re: more words please
I pulled out the calculator. How does this sound - $425.9 million per word? That's how much each of the 2,174 words in the authorization for the Iraq war has cost so far and the price keeps going up.
source: http://crooksandliar...re-bill-real-refo "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow |

yup and the dems voted for that one too
|
|
|
It's still the Bush disaster
|
|
|
Right.
And keep blaming him when all the new stuff Washington comes up with drive this economy into the ground.
I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

be fair it took 8 years before they stopped blaming Clinton
|
|
|
Not so . . .
. . they're still blaming Clinton. Everything that went wrong in the Bush administration was actually Clinton's fault. Ask any "conservative".
|
|
|
they are blaming obama now clinton is off the hook
|
|
|
Clinton will always be there, just as Carter is.
Heck, they still try to beat up on Roosevelt...
Cheers, Scott. |

Over on Nick Petrele's forums . . .
. . I mentioned something they were blaming on Obama as having been initiated by Bush. Nick's response was, "Bush is out of office now, you can't keep blaming him for what Obama is doing".
I asked, "If Bush is out of office now, how come Clinton isn't?". No response. |
