How to be Right, Greg Gutfeld

Book report.

This book is recommended on right wing weekend book thread in strong terms as must-read for every conservative. It cost $12.00.

This book was read in one day while compiling two time-lapse gifs that take a lot of time processing batch files, and watching t.v., so during commercials, basically, two things going on more interesting than this, the book is taken up as second sub routine.

It is a small hard cover book, only 228 pages. My copy arrived without the usual jacket.

This report will relate the contents of every page. Like a time-lapse.

The book is dedicated to Greg's mum. He claims she is on every page. There is a photo of the two. It is a touching photograph. He mentions her several times throughout and to the end.

Greg postulates in his introduction it is not enough to be right, that emotions rule logic and feeling trump fact. He attempts to explain why we argue assuming we still bother. The right dwells on this. Thanksgiving season brings it out, all feast holidays do, reacting to things posted on White House web site instructing people how to address recalcitrant conservative FOX-watching uncles. He advises against certain suicidal pill of being shrill.

Stardust Memories - Review

I took this picture of a NYT Book Review (review) left behind on a table for Dominic to find and read. 
"Dominic Read What A Low Life Sinatra Was"
It reminded me of an Althouse blog post of a note she found inside a book. The Note Althouse found in the book said...

Enjoy life : we are lucky, we live our lives in chapters... make your life a good long novel like this one! :)

There is more in the note Althouse found, but, you can read it for yourself.
 
I Looked up the Review Online to see if the cursively written review, I took a picture of, matched. Here is a small segment pertaining to what I believe Dominic was supposed to find.
