EXCELLENT BOOK SLAMS THE TEABAGGERS!!

"Crashing the Tea Party: Mass Media and the Campaign to Remake American Politics" by Paul Street and Anthony Dimaggio.

I <3 This book!! These authors take the kid gloves off and reveal the teaparty as the "republicans in costumes" that they are. 

READ IT!

ISBN: 978-1-59451-944-4

Looks like a potentially good book, although the Publisher's Weekly review is not very complimentary. But that could be because the reviewer himself/herself was biased towards religiosity. But who knows! I still want to add it to my list.

God, No! has been on my to-read list for months.  Glad it's finally about to be released.

  I’m really ticked off now…..BIG TIME!

Last night I expected all the “rapture”  yahoo’s to be gone.  All I expected to find was a bunch

of clothes, empty house, apartments, mobile homes and the like.  Cars just left on the street with the keys in them.

I had planned to go out looting. I was gonna clean up with the cash they left behind, their valuables, jewels, precious metals, silverware, electronics and the such.

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I even had a SHOPPING LIST!

And I had a list of things my friends wanted…..  Of course, there were some prescription meds certain friends wanted me to get for them…. And some things that weren’t prescription as well….

It only goes to show you, you can’t trust these “rapture” clowns….

Sigh……..back to clipping coupons….

I am giving away several copies of my new book: "The Little Book of Unholy Questions" on ebook for readers to review. Would anyone be interested in reading this book? for more info on the book, pop to my website:

http://atipplingphilosopher.yolasite.com/

 

The book description:

 

Jonathan M.S. Pearce's second book (after Free Will?) continues along the same philosophical and theological vein, aiming to provide a cumulative case against the existence of God, and more specifically, God's triple characteristics of omniscience, omnipotence and omnibenevolence. Split into useful categories with an introduction to each category, these are questions that demand to be answered adequately and plausibly in order for the believer to retain a rationally-based faith.



Pearce's easy writing style and explanation of philosophy, theology and science on the popular level make this book as enjoyable to read as it is thought-provoking. Does God change his mind when prayed to, and why has he never produced a miracle since biblical times that couldn't have occurred naturally anyway, like re-growing an amputee's leg? God only knows.

 

If you are interested, PM me and I'll send you a copy.

Went to a used book store and scored Carl Sagan's The Dragons of Eden for $2.95 and Richard Dawkins' River Out of Eden for $4.95.   Now to decide which to read first.   :)
