Is June 28 going to be an annual Reason holiday? Can we have fireworks?
Support the Secret Order of the Jacket by rating up this book review. It's currently being disparaged by Aqua-Buddah haters.

Received my copy in the mail yesterday, directly from the Reason Foundation. It pays to donate!
Received my copy two days ago, direct from some Amazon warehouse in Hebron, KY.
...aaaaaaaaaaaand a triple. I was so honored to get a freebie! I was going to spend my own money, again, but I didn't have to.
Thanks, Raason!
I don't think it was very smart to give me a copy when I had intended to buy one.
I have donated...
How much do you have to donate to get a free one?
Why didn't you guys just postpone the release until July 4th? You're almost there.
P.S. I will not be buying this book unless it comes out in audio format!
P.P.S. Read by The Jacket!
Would you settle for Samuel L Jackson?
ooh, or maybe Stephen Fry?
How about Billy West as Phillip Fry?
You have a book out?!?!? Why am I just now hearing about this?
Is that you review at amazon?
The Jacket is a five dimensional being from another plane of being whose avatar into our limited existence appears in the form of Nick Gillespie. It has come to bless us with The Truth and to smite the purveyors of statism. Gaze into its dark folds from which not even light can escape if you dare, and attempt to absorb even a fragment of the Divine Libertarian Wisdom lurking within its recesses.
What chapter covers [THE AMERICAN ISRAELI MILITARY] EMPIRE?
My Herc joke just got eaten by the spam filter. Herc's posts get thru the spam filter. Go figure.
You should promote this thing at the jefferson Memeorial so we can see you guys get beaten down and cuffed. Great publicity opportunity.
You need a new angle to garner press. Silent dancing was yesterday, try naked prayer
You meant his book STILL hasn't hit #1 on the NYT?
KOCHSPIRAAAAAAAAAACY!!!!
Thanks Reason for sending me a copy for free.
I also pre-ordered the Kindle version so I'll look for a liberal-tard to pass it off to. ;p
They had gay marriage in 1457?
It makes perfect sense The Jacket's jacket is a space travel suit but I believe if Welch was exiting a latrine he was trying to escape a jealous wife.
Meh. Hosting my own excuse for alcoholism professional networking event that evening.
Thanks for my copy!
