Elsewhere, they look like what they are and can harm the book as well as those supplying the purportedly objective reviews.<BR/><BR/>MalcolmMalcolm R.

I am a big fan of Bill Hicks, Denis Leary, Lewis Black, and Dennis Miller. I had that sort of imagery in mind when I wrote this rant. I wanted to sound at least a little arrogantly out of control. That was the fun of it.Floyd M.

Being highly politically correct didn't stop me from getting a top class education, learning how to write marketable prose or acquiring a decent working knowledge of writing/publishing.veingloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709708573358649383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31024695.post-776440953017983042008-05-19T15:12:00.000-05:002008-05-19T15:12:00.000-05:00Excellent post.
