Maggie's fine peg

Libtards bite off nose to spite face!



 I was privileged to be watching C-Span one Sunday evening when PM Thatcher rebutted a Liberal silliness with, "What the gentleman is saying is he'd accept the poor being poorer as long as the rich were less rich."  Whoa - by golly here is that clip.  It's exactly  true  of liberals - a.k.a nascent socialists - everywhere.  What made me think of it is this.

On a mission to show that Palin's book is selling much worse than, say, the idea of reading Osama Bin Laden his Miranda rights, the San Francisco Chronicle  interviewed several local booksellers to find out how well sales of "Going Rogue" were not going:

"Our customers are thinking people," said Nathan Embretson, a bookseller at Pendragon Books in Oakland. "They're not into reading drivel."

"Anything like that we wouldn't carry," said clerk Emily Stackhouse at Cover to Cover Books in San Francisco. "We're a small store and it would probably gross us all out. Some things you carry because of freedom of speech, but a book like that is just gross."

Apparently the job of a "bookseller" in and around San Francisco is not so much to sell product, but rather to give comfort to like-minded individuals and convert the remaining unwashed masses to lockstep ideology. Politics trumps profit, even though profit generates the much needed tax revenue, job growth, and consumer spending this state dearly needs.

Yet another (as if we need one) reason why the whole bay area should be nuked until it glows. Its the only way to be sure.

*sigh* Maggie and Ron should have had children together - a great many of them.

That's what MoSup said while we watched her interview with Hannity. Compare that to Obama's 60 Minutes interview.
