And with the readership of the Fondren Bugle, be afraid, be very afraid.

NOT.

I cannot believe you continue to try to force me to read that crazy crap. Ignore Ladd and her cult, everyone else does.

This is humor, dude, humor.

I know it, the "free press" has always been humor. And my favorite part? Ladd thinks her readers are smart. Well, compared to concrete, fruits, and processed meat products, they are. Well, sorta.

You know, I read that piece and I'm wondering WHY they ignore Scruggs when most of the book is about Scruggs. I mean, that review Lynch wrote could've been written by Paul Minor's defense attorney.

I'm also tired of seeing Dawson taking hits for writing a book. Presidents, Attorney Generals, CIA agents, FBI agents, FBI directors, congressmen, staffers, and other government officials write them all the time and suddenly we are worried about a lawyer in the justice department do it? Now if you want to make a case that the JD should screen books written by former employees that is fine and I agree with it but what he did is no different than any other government official or politician that wrote about his experiences and made a profit from it after he left office.

Did anyone else notice that Jeff Good's outfit stopped advertising online with them after this issue came out? Odd.

Problem is Fish it is a terribly written book. Awful.

Haven't read it. I've gotten it but I am reading Gasparino's book, The Sellout, right now as well as Max Boot's latest. It's next up after those two.

Attention: Inmate No. 12930-042 has reported!

For someone who hasn't read the damn book, Ladd sure is opinionated about it. I guess that's her deal.

Ladd is pissed cuz her writing classes aren't listed in the "thank you" section.

You obviously haven't read even an excerpt of the book 6:37PM. Lange would have benefited from every bit of personal advice he could glean.

The book is on its second PRINTING. Read that and WEEP.

Write it DOWN, It WILL be a movie.

Second printing of a self-published book means nothing because a print run can be of any size. How many copies has it sold?

The actual quality of the book aside, it was a good promotional effort by Lange. He got the book out quickly and right before the holidays, and also promoted it heavily. Now he's being quoted as "author Alan Lange" in the C-L. He's definitely raised his profile. He shoulc have spent some money on jacket design, though. A generic cover.

So what. The C-L quotes Matt Steffey as if he is a famous nationally renowned legal scholar.

And the C-L actually publishes articles from Bill Minor and employ Ronnie Agnew and David Hampton. The only way that it could be worse is if they hired Donna Ladd.
