Look who isn't getting an ornament for Christmas. |
Look who isn't getting a personalized ornament. Sorry, dads.

Elf on the John: I have no idea what to make of this. It was on the floor at the office between the Men's and Ladies' rooms. But it would make a great Christmas story.

Dee Dee in front of Rush Limbaugh's Brave Pilgrims. |
So Rush Limbaugh is a children's writer. I wrote this after taking the picture: "I suppose a guy who can talk to himself in monosyllables for three hours a day can manage a book for children." Then I went to Amazon. 4,590 customer reviews and 5 stars? Doesn't matter who you are, that's impressive.
But it doesn't take great writing to sell a book. As one reviewer wrote:
"This is some of the most poorly-written tripe I've laid eyes on. Racist. Revisionist. … this is reprehensible and foul, and looks like a copy editor never got within 100 yards of it."
--Ryan E.W. "Choy Li Fut Apprentice", May 16, 2014
I might check it out. As I like to think, good writing is good writing, regardless of the source, and that goes for personalities I like and those I don't. Maybe Mr Limbaugh will surprise me. I'd like to think so.
