I went to an actual Brick-and-Mortar bookstore today. This is a rare occasion ever since Amazon.com was founded in 1995. (I still remember when I first heard about it. “What a stupid name?! Who would buy books online?! And why would I want to buy their stocks?!”)
I do enjoy going to the book stores in real life: I love looking at the book covers, discovering new books via the store displays, getting a taste of what’s garnering the attention of the masses, detecting the harbingers of the next big thing.
Sometimes I simply like to read the clever titles and corresponding designs on the book covers vying for your attention.
“Pick me! Pick me!”
Sometimes I simply enjoy picking them up, caressing the book spines, feeling the weight of words in my hands.
And sometimes I do get a chuckle.
Since I have an iPhone with me now, anything that makes me laugh simply HAS to be photographed. (OK, I admit, having a blog is another reason…)

Actual page from George W. Bush's memoir. Notice that he's using WMD as an excuse to justify going into Iraq?

Guess which book is going on my Christmas list?!

What is Fascism? "that thing someone else is doing that I disagree with. Not communism. The other one."
.
It takes a comedian to provide the best explanations for communism, socialism and fascism...

Raise your hand if you feel like crying because it is Monday? Raise your hand if you could use this book? Raise your hand if you believe that enforcing the said No Asshole Rule requires a good ol' can of Wupass or at least the threat of it?

Sigh.

Mine is a glorified iPod: I inherited it with no SIM card so no PHONE service and works only with Free Wi-Fi. I cannot really get addicted on that. LOL. But I don’t feel like bringing my camera any more.
The fascism defintion is the cover of George Bush’s book right? Thanks for posting it – can’t wait to read!!!!
Great blog by the way!!!
Thanks for the kind words! Thank you for visiting and commenting. AND LOL! 😉
I’m thinking his book should be titled the Christmas Straightjacket.

I bought the “adult” version of this book for my MIL one year, so every Christmas, Amazon reminds me that “You have purchased this book before, there are some that you may also like.” I need a political leaning box to check for my Amazon profile. Ugh.
I’m raising my hand!
🙂
It’s funny but the Top Ten Ways to keep Glenn Beck away from my children, are the same as the lessons for surviving a Zombie Attack. Coincidence?

I love how the bookstore maps out these things for us to discover.
That last one is the pedophile book Amazon is no longer carrying, right? RIGHT?!

Absolutely!
Quick wit draw. Like John Wayne.
Haha, great pics. The guy who wrote the Zombie Survival Guide — his name escapes me at the moment and I’m too lazy to google — also wrote one called World War Z. It reads like an oral history of the zombie apocalypse, and it’s great. Get it. 🙂
Also, my hand is raised right now. On my way to meet and greet the assholes.
If I were a zombie, I’d get what his name first when the apocalypse comes…
