I like the subtle product placement for Radicals for Capitalism.

The revolution is coming. With the impending financial collapse coupled with the democrats stealing the Presidential election, prepare for Civil war around January 21, when the theif in chief starts sending out unconstitutional executive orders.
And if McCain somehow wins, watch the left go bezerk and breaking laws.
2009, it is on.

Well, if its only $700, thats not so bad.

(They may correct it later, but it was like that when I posted this.)

Duly corrected! Would that it were just $700.

I like the subtle product placement for Radicals for Capitalism.

The book seems to have almost jumped out of the stack by several inches. Strange that.

Slightly more subtle is Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash". Is Stephenson on the Reason payroll now?
