   Yes, this is a problem because I want an autographed one, too.

   i haven’t tested it thoroughly but i think it could work for a century or two. by then we’ll be the rocky mountain islands anyway. unless the alternative energy bubble agenda fails and creates actual value…

   by the way can you get ann coulter’s book autographed for me? i want it signed, best wishes, the blond empty headed bimbo

   The link to Amazon doesn’t work any more, and BN doesn’t show up on the searches. When will we see good news?
