The NYT book effetes must be having tantrums!

Glenn said that he wanted to bypass the hardcover edition and go straight to paperback, to make it affordable.

Three of the books on the NY Times non-fiction bestseller list are conservative books (I know that Dick Morris and Eileen McGann aren’t conservatives but their book is critical of Obama).

How can this be? I thought only liberals are readers and thinkers. While conservatives spend their time getting drunk and watching NASCAR and professional wrestling. That is, when they aren’t beating their spouses and kids and lynching blacks and gays. At lease that is what the State Run Media tells me. /sarc
