I would like to take this opportunity to tell readers to boycott Dana Stabenow's work. She writes mysteries...her most famous character is the Kate shugak/Alaska series.
I just began reading her 2002 book: A Fine and Bitter Snow. In the opening she goes to visit her friend Dan O'Brien of the Alaska Park Service, only to find that he's lost his job. It is blamed on the Bush administration:
"So you've been fired?"
"Not exactly. Invited to take early retirement is more like it." She sighed, and said again, "I don't know Kate. At least Clinton and Gore had a clue about the environment, or pretended they did. This guy, Jesus." "Maybe it's time. I don't know that I can work with these people for four years, and maybe eight." etc.
I've emailed the author and the publisher to express my intention of posting this insult for their Conservative readers.
stabenow.com and minotaur@stmartins.com
Please join me in boycotting her work and letting the author and her publisher know exactly why you will be boycotting.
TOPICS: Books/Literature
KEYWORDS: bush; mystery; parkservice
These exerpts can be found in A Fine and Bitter Snow page two.

Yes, people like these are still allowed to drive on our highways, shop in our shops, eat in our fast-food joints, sleep in their bedrooms, breathe our pure air.
It's a disgrace and we must do something about it.

Hey could this be our Deb Stabenow ?

I am curious if this author is related to our very own Deb Stabenow. Thanks if you know.

Don't know, but Stabusall is not a common name so I wouldn't be shocked.
One correction though. She isn't "our" Deb Stabenow. I didn't vote for her in 98 or 2000, and would have voted against her in 96 if I had the chance to.
To: Dan from Michigan
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you or I voted for this socialist iconoclast.

I know that, but she's so bad I can't even claim to have her as a senator.
The sad fact is, we don't have a US senator.
To: Dan from Michigan
You are correct sir.
Keep your powder dry!

Should I boycott this particular work, the author's line of work, the publisher, the printer, the distributor, or all of the above? And if I am boycotting the publisher and printer and distributor, please advise if they are domestic corporations, as I have assured another Freeper on another boycott thread that I would only "buy from my friends" and not the slimy French or rascally Germans.
Gosh, these boycotts are getting confusing....perhaps someone could start a "Who we are boycotting" thread.....

NO...not related as far as I know.

I'm sure the publisher will enjoy your comment when she checks it out.
