I have been waiting about a year for this to come out. It promises to have some explosive revelations.
-
Maybe I will check it out of the library and leave post-its with comments stuck between the pages.
No way this vile creep would get a nickle of my money.
-
I don't feel like waiting a year to get a copy from the library. The best price on books is at Sam's Club or Amazon if you feel like buying online.
I doubt Cheney needs your money. He has a net worth of $85 million, I believe.
Putting post-its in a library book is just a waste of time. The librarian will strip them out before it's put back on the shelf.
-
My experience is that people do not remove anything but loose papers.
I would only leave comments if they are funny.
Besides, if it makes me feel good, that is the goal.
The less of my money that goes to a dirtbag like Cheney, the better. May the old fart choke on his pilfered millions.
It will be a long time before his book gets to my library, anyway. Odds are I will see all that is of any interest in the newspaper or in some news magazine. Books by politicians are uniformly boring and far too long, in my experience.

Political Law #3)
Liberals emphasize feeling superior, not superior results.
Liberalism is all about appearances, not outcomes. What matters to liberals is how a program makes them FEEL about themselves, not whether it works or not
-
That is pretty much the reason why you are always asking stupid question and waiting for answers, isn't it?
-
I hope to catch a book signing with the former Vice President.
I would love to have my picture taken with such a fine
American and place it next to my picture with Lt. Col Oliver North.
-
I surely hope you find Dick Cheney eagerly awaiting to sign his book at Sam's.
He is such a classy guy, I doubt that he would deign to sign books in a common Wal*Mart.

do they do book signings at walmart?

whatz it matter where he signs the book?
speaking of Walmart...
there is a Walmart in Dallas County that actually has a couple jail cells in it
they had to call the cops so often the city put cells in this Walmart
this is one of those Walmarts that is full of illegals & people from everywhere else
it stinks.....i mean it literally stinks inside....from half-wits that dont bathe
so i rarely go in there

I had a conversation with Lester Maddox at a convenience store in Sandy Springs while we were waiting in line. He was buying dog food.

What about?

Dogs.

Hmmmmm.....new list at $35.00, discounted from $16.99 to $19.25; used from $9.99 down to $1.25.
Too pricey for me - I can get a couple rolls of toilet paper for that.

It does not matter where you get your signed copy of Cheney's book, but I am guessing that Dick Cheney is highly unlikely to be signing books at Sam's Club. You are probably right about the Dallas Wal*Mart" Cheney would probably not be signing books there.
Smely food stores are not usually smelly because of their customers. There is a system of odor control that is used by all the major chains that circulates the air and removes all odors very effectively. Here in Miami, you know when you are in a Latino-run supermarket because of the smell (usually sort of a spoiled meat and bad lettuce smell), since they do not use the odor control systems. In Mexico when I lived there, all markets had a smell to them. I am not sure about now, since I have not been there for several years.
In Argentina and Uruguay, the big chain supermarkets do not stink, but the ma and pa stores, butcher shops and veggie stands do. In Paraguay everything has that odor.
Of all the Latino chains, Sedano's is the only one that does not have the smell.
I don't know who Vince Dooley is, but I am pretty sure that he was never vice president of this country, even if he does sign books and hats in Kroger stores.
Publishers arrange book signings,and they are quite unlikely to do it in places that heavily discount books. My guess is that by the time you can get a copy at Sam's, there will be no more book signings.
In a similar way, you are likely to find Tommy Hilfiger apoparel in the Salvation Army, but it would be extremely unlikely to find Tommy there to autograph anything.
-
Winn Dixie has the odor of bologna left on the counter for half the day. Very unique.
-
Publix on the other hand smells like fresh baked bread and Fried Chicken. Probably because those depts are right by the entrance.

I do like to keep the bushberries off my ass.
-

What makes you say that?
James Patterson did a signing at a Sam's Club near where I'm at. Karl Rove did a Sam's signing. It's possible that Cheney could do it.

With carefull crumpling the book could do for that , thereby becoming dual use.
-
It is possible that Cheney might do his book signing in a tiara and tutu as well, but I would not count on it.
Surely you can afford to pay full retail price for such magnificent revelations as the Prince of Darkness has composed just for you and your ilk.
-
You never explained why other authors have signed at Sam's but Cheney never would. You're not talking out of your ass, are you?
Who even charges full list for books anymore, anyway? Even book stores give some type of discount. I would expect 20% off, at least. It's obviously been a while since you bought a book outside of a yard sale. Maybe you should start helping out the economy.
-

It would be a poor substitute, much like the author - too stiff and rough, wth the chance of leaving black stains. Why not spend my money on something softer and more comfortable, and made for the job?

John Wayne toilet paper
John Wayne toilet paper – Military term used to describe the low grade toilet paper found in the MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) accessory packet. Called so because it’s rough, tough and don’t take shit off of anybody. Can also be used in place of extra fine grit sandpaper when refinishing furniture.
Can I score a roll from that big box of ass wipe that your mom sent last week?
Why?
All that I have is that damn John Wayne toilet paper.

Probly no better than what we had in the old C-rations. Remember green ham n eggs?

I did not say that Cheney would not sign books at Sam's, just that you should not count on it. And although bookstores DO have sales. when they have signings, the books to be signed are rarely on sale, if ever. When we have mobs of authors here at the Miami International Book Fair, the books available for signing are all sold at full retail.
They are often discounted after the signings are over. I imagine that the publisher feels that since they paid for travel and lodging, they deserve their full price. I can't say that I disagree with that premise.
When I want to read a book, I decide whether I am likely to read it more than once. If not, I check out the library, and read it at no cost. If I do think I will read it again, or it is not available at the library, I check out Amazon, and buy it used. I have yet to get anything other than like-new books from Amazon or one of their affiliates, usually at less than a fifth the retail price.
When I buy things, I am unconcerned with the national economy. My own personal economy is far more important to me.
Now I see where Cheney badmouthed pretty much everyone, including even Condi Rice and Colin Powell. And he says not a word about how a lack of proper planning turned the invasion of Iraq unto a godawful mess.
Cheney, as we all know, does not need the money, though he probably thinks he does, just like Murdock thinks he needs his fifth billionth dollar. What he wants to do with this book is to get the country to absolve him and perhaps Rumsfeld of the blame for starting a war on false pretenses and letting everything run amok. And I don't think that history will absolve him of his supreme dickheadedness.
Good luck at finding Cheney's book, discounted, at a Sam's near you.

I have been avoiding the write ups about the book because I don't want it ruined.
How is it any different than you badmouthing Dr. Rice or Powell? Haven't you been doing that for 10 years now?

Have you ever been to Sam's? They get the books in the same day as anybody else.
-

===============================================
I don't recall badmouthing Powell.
The main difference is that I was not a member of the administration, if you recall.
One must belong to the rat family to rat out other members. Cheney was a member of this particular rat family.
I was an observer of said rats.
-
You have said in the past that Powell lied before the UN and implied that he only advanced through the military ranks because he was black. Maybe all is forgiven now since he endorsed Obama, but he has recently said that he may not endorse him again in '12 (duh). So he will probably be on your shit list again soon when he doesn't back The One.
You certainly have been criticizing Dr. Rice for 10 years. Even recently you said she was the worst NSA in history, which was not true.
Now you are complaining about Cheney allegedly doing something that you yourself have been doing all along.
-
At no point did I ever say that Powell was an Equal Opportunity promotion. He DID tell untruths about Iraq, but apparently he was lied to by Rumsfeld and Cheney. Powell is a pretty decent fellow, but a bit too trusting. I never said he was a poor soldier at any time or in any way.
Rice was easily the very worst NSA Advisor. Under what other NSA advisor did this country lose 3000 lives to terrorists?
I think it would be fun if Rice, Rummy and Cheney tore each other to pieces in their memoirs. Also must of what they would say would be true.
Cheney ratted out members of his own administration. I have never had any administration.

You used to rant and rave that Powell lied to the UN, that he helped us get into an immoral war. Powell went down to the CIA and sat there for days going over the intel. I doubt you can blame either Rumsfeld or Cheney for what he said. Powell made our case for war to the UN and he has to live with that.
Powell is a pretty decent fellow, but a bit too trusting.
If he declines to endorse Obama, your feelings will change.
Rice was easily the very worst NSA Advisor. Under what other NSA advisor did this country lose 3000 lives to terrorists?
Sammy Berger was the worst NSA Advisor, because he committed a felony and stole classifed documents. There were 2400 deaths at Pearl Harbor. Was that FDR's fault?
I think it would be fun if Rice, Rummy and Cheney tore each other to pieces in their memoirs. Also must of what they would say would be true.
I highly doubt that Cheney tore anybody in the Bush administration to pieces in his book. That is just wishful thinking on your part. Telling an intersting story about a decision somebody made is not "tearing somebody to pieces."
Cheney ratted out members of his own administration.
You'd buy the book if he did that.
I have never had any administration.
And you never will.
-
I have NEVER SAID that Powell was promoted because he was Black.
FDR had no National Security Advisor, and even if he did, Rice would still be the worst.
-

====================================================
I agree that Powell has to live with his declarations at the UN about the WMD's. I did not, however, say that he attained his rank because of race.
I do not know how much information he was given or how long he looked at it. he was played for a fool by Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld, but I think that he really did believe their bogus tales of WMD's.
I know that I did not, and that I was opposed to going to war in Iraq, and that the information looked phony to me.
I find it droll that Cheney writes a book and wants to get into a Big Giant Dickswinging contest with his former collaborators,and yet cannot say "I am sorry. I was wrong" even once. Not to me, but to all the US troops killed and their families and all the Iraqis driven from their homes and killed for no reason.
Cheney is despicable personified.
-
What was Cheny wrong about?
-
FDR had no National Security Advisor, and even if he did, Rice would still be the worst.
I asked you if FDR was at fault for 2400 people perishing at Pearl Harbor.
-
I said that Condi Rice was the least competent National Security Adviser ever. And you changed the subject.
I do not believe that FDR knew Pearl Harbor was about to happen, but in any case he was not a NSA.
The question you need answered is whether Wendall Willkie would have also permitted Pearl Harbor.
Or was it Alf Landon?

May or may not be entirely accurate, but funnier than most Web parodies.
It would seem to be rather impossible to play this game.
It omits shoe-shopping, and fails to celebrate her skills as a concert pianist.
Maybe they are on the cards that are mentioned.
-
Rice is bi-lingual , Americans don't trust that.
-
Not only bilingual, she speaks Russian, and probably knows all 31 letters and both surds of the Cyrillic alphabet.
But I only fault her for not preventing 9-11.
I am pretty sure that is in the job description of every National Security Advisor.
-
So who was the National Security Advisor during OKC and the first WTC bombing? Do they share the same disdain you have for Rice?
-
Less disdain, as not so many were killed.
The only reason I brought Rice's incompetence up was the constant blathering of the righties here about how Rice should be president, would run for the office and be elected.
