In Borders yesterday, I saw one of those self-help books that had the subtitle, “Don’t be ashamed of your mistakes.” It gave me an overwhelming impulse to write a book titled, “Be ashamed of your mistakes!”
I think it would sell millions.
I also saw a new book by David Limbaugh, “Persecution: How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianity.” In the author blurb they refer to him as “brother of [blah blah blah] Rush Limbaugh.” I thought to myself, how much would it suck to have to refer to your famous brother on your own book jacket? I’m certainly not going to mention my brothers on *my* book jacket, no matter how famous they are at the time. That’s a deal-breaker, if you ask me.
Interesting to note that on Amazon.com, the book hasn’t been reviewed by anyone yet, as if it’s a fart that no one is willing to draw further attention to. Yep, Liberals can’t be Christians and homosexuals can’t be families. Oh, and people who want social justice can’t be capitalists.
It’s always a bit of a warning to me when someone has to be defined in relationship to someone else of whom I might have heard. They might as well say “This is nobody, but he knows somebody.”
i’m hurt -your brother
