Like Matthew Lesko, number 100. Such a random inclusion. You have to be a nighthawk in front of the TV to have found that guy.

I was thankful for Goldberg's list. Maybe it's because I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area, or that my friends are liberals, or that I read liberal websites (plastic.com, slate.com), but for some reason I don't always hear the other side.

Not that Goldberg's counts as the other side, at least it reminds me that there are tons of idiot liberals.

However, it didn't move me any bit from being a liberal. In some ways, it made me more liberal, because it presented the pettiness of his positions.

Really, the book is an old guy cussing at his TV. Damn kids and their rap music. Damn beautiful celebrities and their lack of patriotism.

So out of curiosity - what is your take on the book?

Your synopsis was interesting, but I didn't find much personal opinion on the contents the author included (although I might have not been reading that well between the lines as I was just scanning over it).

good point. changed to "undelivered"

man, major kudos to whoever uncovers those undelivered hypothetical speeches from Bush. That'd be political gold.

they must exist.

Nixon's was written and ready, however--maybe "prepared" is a better label?

Crazy, anyway...I wonder how many of these Bush has ready...

I also like him, but I didn't like what he said on his website that is very offensive to Christian religion.

Here I used the term happiology to describe the process of actively seeking happiness through tools that measure personal levels of happiness.

Happiology also mainly means "the study of happiness." In my post, I am using the same word with two different meanings, maybe creating some ambiguity.

The happiology to me is a study of happiness. What't in your mind when you use it?

Thanks
