I'm doing a book signing tonight in my room. I wish I was in Montana though.

Discuss my longing for Montana amongst yourselves.

Abraham Lincoln Was A Blogger
by Armandillo
Thu, April 51, 2071 at 10:34:31 FTD

Since the 1500's I have been arguing that the party needs to blog the way Abraham Lincoln would - with hilarious anecdotes that illustrate the need for reforming the Supreme Court. I have painstakingly outlined this process, and while bloggers like Dude Hate have refused to listen, my way is the very best ever.

I outpaced Dude Hate's hateful dudeishness in a recent diary I did, entitled "Why I Am Right And Dude Hate Is Wrong." He had written:

Oh, really? Well, Dude Hate happens to be wrong, and I mean wrong in the sense that Abraham Lincoln would have used it in 1860. In my post, the title of which I have mentioned above, I brutally excoriate Dude Hate's ideas in a manner that makes it impossible for him to respond without having his argument fall flat on its face:

In a previous post, entitled "Abraham Lincoln Thinks Dude Hate Is Fat," I laid out an unassailable case about how Dude Hate's fatness and terrible smell get in the way of his arguments. This theory, which I now call the "Armandillo Dude Hate Fatness Argument Inhibitor Theory," has been proven by a team of guys I hired to do some yard work in the manner of Abraham Lincoln's lawn crew. One of them originally objected, saying:

Is that so? Maybe Joe Lieberman would agree with that, but so-called "values voters" will NOT vote for our candidates based on whether the weeds are done or not. I have said this hundreds, maybe thousands of times. I even pointed it out in a diary called "Lincoln and Weeds: What Lieberman Gets Wrong And I Get Right." I also pointed it out in a follow-up about how the 2006 elections may turn on weeds, but then they may not.

Mr. Joe's Lawn Care, face the facts. It is inexcusable and wrong of you to doubt that Abraham Lincoln would have pulled the weeds before noon. I have said this time and time again, and will say it again and again until the party finally understands that I am right.

WTB: Toronto

Getting set up here in Toronto, which is a pretty cool city. It's no Montana though. But at least Katherine Harris isn't here, right? There's a whole bit in the book about her.

Speaking of Toronto, looks like they're a little sick of the anti-Toronto feeling coming from the wingers. I was going to blog about the Toronto section of my book, but Waynedog over at The Feeling Is Mutual summed it up better than I ever could:

Inexcusable.

Lieberman's poll numbers are at 84 percent. When will this guy learn?

Leonard lands some blows on the decision to put my book in the 300's in the Dewey Decimal System:

To be fair, I'm not "the book." I'm just one of the authors of the book. Sometimes people ask me "why don't you go on TV more," or "why don't you run for office?" Well, I like what I do. I like seeing my wife's book and my son's book from time to time. And I want the book to succeed more than I want to be on The Today Show, or whatever.
