Today one of my school books came in the mail for my Theories of Writing class, Cross Talk In Comp Theory, a rather large, boring textbook on different… well, theories in writing. Not the sort of reading you do while relaxing on the beach, I can tell you that much. Alas, the plight of the grad student.
There are few things I hate more than politics. Very few. So when I opened my book, delivered from Alibris.com, I was shocked at the bookmark waiting for me inside, fresh from Blessed By Books out in California.
How lovely! A Ron Paul bookmark to call my own. Ron Paul for President 2008. Just what I wanted. A man who claims to be pro-life, but won’t ban abortion and is against gun control.
Well, thank you Blessed By Books!
You’ve just blessed my garbage can.
My debut novel comes out this Fall. You'll be able to download free audiobook podcasts 
I thought that was so funny!
“But…but… he’s Ron Paul, the internet loves Ron Paul” – typical digg.com user
It could have been worse.
It could have been a Rudy Giuliani bookmark.
i think i read somewhere that he doesn’t believe global warming is a real threat to the planet. um. how is it that someone could be taken seriously *at all* as a presidential candidate in the 21st century who doesn’t acknowledge global warming?
the other day i got a menu stuck in my door that had a bible verse on it. thanks, but no, thanks. the circular-free sticker on my door means i don’t want menus or salvation littering my stoop, thanks.
I had a similar experience. It was a Falun Gong bookmark. I’m not sure what those people are up to…but I’m a-scairt.
Ron Paul believes that if we eliminate everything, then we’ll have something.
That is either starting over or a belief that compassionate capitalists will take care of those that fall through the cracks. Does that ever happen?
I’ll give him this… anti-war, non-interventionist, anti-federal reserve bank…. those aren’t bad notions.
Every Ron Paul fan that I’ve ever met, however, seems to have a chip on his shoulder or a really big vein on their forehead that looks ready to burst. Scary.
