So you’re sitting around and saying to yourself, "I’ve got $35 burning a hole in my pocket and when I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes."

But what to buy…what to buy.

Well, I just received my copies today so I haven’t really jumped into them, but Amazon has a lovely little set of meditations on the Seven Deadly Sins from Oxford University Press:

Now Oxford and the New York Public Library have brought together seven prominent writers and thinkers—among them Joseph Epstein, Wendy Wasserstein, Francine Prose, and Simon Blackburn–to pen book-length meditations on these deadliest of sins. The result is a marvelous series of books that are thought-provoking, stimulating, and frequently amusing. Illuminating both the sin and the sinner, these attractively jacketed volumes are a must-have collection. It would be a sin not to have them on your shelf.

Or, you could take your hard earned money and buy a copy of Liberal Fascism: Naked Came the Pantload from NRO, personally Cheetoh-stained by Jonah:

Personally autographed and inscribed copies of Liberal Fascism are available here for only $34.95.

I know it’s a tough call because, on the one hand, there would be the nipple-hardening joy of insisting that Jonah personally sign your copy: It was the best I could do. I am so deeply sorry. – D. Pantload …or it’s no deal.

On the other hand, with the Oxford set you get all seven sins: Pride, Envy, Lust, Sloth, Anger, Gluttony, and Greed… and with Goldberg you only get Sloth.

Quality over quantity, I always say…

The “nipple-hardening” is, of course, the chief reason some of us spend more time here than we do with our spouses, tbogg, you home-wrecker. Just like Jonah you bring us the stuff that matters, that gets us excited in that special way.

Meanwhile, some poor schmuck over at Amazon’s warehouse better find a select spot waaay in the back for those pallets of Liberal Fascism because once Hugh and the bedwetting set have secured theirs, there isn’t really much of a market left.

I’d pay damn good money to see that.

Well, look at this way, Jonah is a free-marketeer, and as I am sure little green men live in Rudy Giuliani’s left ear, that his book contains all seven deadly sins in the first chapter, thereby negating the need to read the scholarly works.

Afterwards you are beclowned with a bachelors degree in Pants (BAP).

He talks about libruls, don’t he?

1. Liberals are prideful in ther fascism.
2. liberals envy Pantload.
3. Liberals lust after socialism the way Hillary Clinton lusts after the blood of all men.
4. Liberals (obviously that means brown-skinned minorities) are lazy, that’s why they want welfare, so they can sit around in their ratty sandals reading books that don’t come with cartoon illustrations (fascists).
5. Liberals are angry. At everything and everyone. They are even angry at themselves, all of the time, all of them. Anger, anger, anger.
6. Liberals are gluttonous in their usurpation of power and believe they can take away all of our snacks (funyuns, cheetos, orange power drink) and make us eat broccoli and beans an’ stuff.
7. Liberals are greedy fascists who want to allow all of the brown people to come here and have babies so that they can abort them at elaborate ceremonies featuring recitals of the Vagina Monologues and readings of Toni Morrison poetry.

How much does Doughboy charge to color the whole thing? I imagine it depends on how much Mountain Dew Game Fuel he has left in the mini-fridge, and whether his Crayolas are worn to a nub yet.

… and with Goldberg you only get Sloth.

I call B.S. Obviously, with Goldberg, you also get gluttony.
