quotes, quotes, quotes

I have a Ned Lamont shirt, a Lamont sticker on my car and a Lamont sign in my yard.

I hate it.

This part of politics is super-cheesy** . . . Yet I have a strong need to see the backside of Lieberman.

But I need more--so I'm wandering around the internet, gathering reasons to vote for the man, not just against someone else. So I'll copy and paste some of quotes from him. That way I can convince my other neighbors to take some of these dang yard signs the local Lamont people dropped off at my house.

"War and peace are the most important stakes that your government deals with. The war says so much about what type of a country we are, our moral authority, and our priorities."

"Since my days on the urban league to teaching entrepreneurship at an inner city high school, I am committed to maximizing opportunity; we start by reinvesting in our cities- great schools, affordable housing, public transportation- and jobs."
Hmmm.

Kid needs the computer for homework, so I'll have to stop for now.

**Those signs are truly tacky, as my blue-blood token Republican neighbor might say. Hi Greg! How're the plastic flamingos I stuck out on your lawn in the middle of the night? I haven't seen them lately for some reason . . .

    Go Lamont! (Funny how 'go' has two entirely different connotations. "Go Lieberman," as in, Go home, Joe!)

    Catrina, my billing gal, wants to know when you're going to publish more print romance. She doesn't like reading books on her computer, so I can't interest her in Summer's work (unless there's some way she can get it in print . . . ?) She told me to tell you to get busy with it already. She also told me to tell you that the sex scenes in your two books are a lot hotter than any erotica she has read.

    There, didn't that make your day?

    I like it, yes, thank you.

    You should point out to Catrina that she can read the ebooks on the computer and, as long as she keeps the screen facing in a direction you can't see it, you'll be paying her to read smut. (Unless you don't pay her by the hour. In which case, I'll have to figure out another Reason to Buy Ebooks)

    Kate, Ned Lamont is scheduled to be on Bobby Kennedy and Mike Papantonio's Ring of Fire show today (Saturday, and repeated tomorrow - Sunday -- 5 pm and 3 pm EDT, respectively, and streamable at Air America Radio's Ring of Fire). I've heard him several times and I'd vote for him any day. I appreciate your wanting to vote FOR someone. Hopefully, he will say something which will light your fire. (AND, I think the shows are archived and playable at other times at their own site, Ring of Fire.

    Peace Hugs!

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
