ONWARD TO DAYTON!

Last night we were in Winter Park, Florida (Orlando) for a book signing at Borders. WDBO also has some photos. All I can say is Amazing. Events held in hotel ballrooms like Wednesday night's signing in Jacksonville tend to be large, but that crowd that showed up last night was quite a surprise. What a great time. Dayton is still the champ from the 2005 FairTax Book tour, but the Orlando crowd last night easily holds second place. We'll see if Dayton can live up to its reputation. I'll be signing books at Books & Company at The Green on Walnut Street tonight as soon as I get there from the airport. My flight to Dayton is supposed to land at 5:20 .. and it's straight to the book signing, so I should make it on time.

I'm thrilled to say that Somebody's Gotta Say It remains at the top of the Amazon.com Bestseller's List this morning. You people are just incredible ... thanks so much for your support. If this keeps up I'm going to be able to use all of those "New York Times No. 1 Bestseller" stickers I have left over from The FairTax Book.

Oh .. and speaking of The FairTax Book. I'm signing about a hundred of these at each book signing. The FairTax Book is currently No. 167 on Amazon.com .. and that's not too shabby for a book that was published two years ago. Nice to know the interest is still out there. I have some meetings over the weekend with the folks from Americans For Fair Taxation in Houston, so perhaps I'll have some interesting news for you next week.

One of the Somebody's Gotta Say it chapters is titled "Because She Earned it." Here's an email I received from Anthony:

"Neal, I just finished reading the chapter about Terri Schiavo in your new book, and I felt compelled to write you. You can be one hell of a hard ass on the radio sometimes, which is one of the main reasons I love listening to your show. I also know a lot of people give you a pretty hard time for that same reason. After reading that chapter, I was confused how some people could say such evil things about you and your book. Of course, I know the reason, it's because they didn't read the entire thing, they only read the part that someone else told them would tick them off. I think anybody who could read that chapter, and still call you an evil bastard, well, they've got bigger issues in life. Keep up the good work Neal, and I look forward to seeing you in College Station." (Anthony)

Thanks, Anthony. Many of the chapters in Somebody's Gotta Say It are written to entertain, some to infuriate, some to inform. This chapter was written to try to explain a position that probably set a record in "I'm never going to listen to you again" letters and emails.

WHILE ON THE ROAD....

I've had some people ask me how I handle the show prep and printing while I'm on the road with Somebody's Gotta Say It. So, for you tech types out there ... here are some details. The laptop comes, of course, from Vision Computers. I don't have all the gee-whizz details, but there's more computing power in this laptop than there was on the Apollo mission to the moon. I connect to the Internet pretty much anywhere through a Cingular aircard. The printer -- and it's a gem -- is a Canon iP90. Small, fast, and can even print pictures! All of this goes into one simple little rolling computer case the size of a large briefcase. Ain't technology grand?

DEMOCRATS PUSH FOR SURRENDER

The Democrats are running full steam ahead with trying to cut off our troops in Iraq and ensure failure and surrender in Iraq. Their latest plan is to push through a piece of legislation revoking Bush's authority to wage war in Iraq. You mean the same authority those same Democrats voted to give George W. Bush in 2002? Yeah..that's the one. So what does this latest legislation do? Read on to find out.

This isn't like the other non-binding resolutions that just disapprove of the war in Iraq or the way it is being handled. No, this one would have teeth. So far, one draft would restrict the troops in Iraq to fighting Al-Qaeda only. Are they kidding? Guess not. So now we have 100 commanders in chief in the United States Senate that are going to decide who the troops can fight and who they can't. Unbelievable...this is what the left calls "limiting the mission."

Instead of trying to tie the hands of our troops in Iraq, the Democrats need to either cut off funding for the war or sit down and shut up. It really makes you wonder just whose payroll these politicians are on these days. The Islamic fascists who want us dead must be partying BIG TIME!

LIEBERMAN MIGHT SWITCH PARTIES .... BUT IS HE REALLY THAT SMART?

Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman says if Democrats move to cut off funding for U.S. troops, he'll switch to the GOP. That would end the Democrats' majority in the Senate and put Harry Reid back in the minority leader's office. Some may think there's no way he'll do that. But those are probably the same people that didn't think he'd run for re-election as an Independent after losing the Democratic primary.

That would be something, wouldn't it? Here you have the 2000 Democratic nominee for vice president talking about moving to the other side. He's already not really a Democrat...having continued to run for Senate after losing the Democratic primary in 2006. So why not make the switch? He is currently aligning himself with a political party that opposes the War On Terror and promotes a policy of Islamic terrorist appeasement.

If he doesn't change his mind, he'll be switching. Democrats aren't going to quit trying to stop the war in Iraq...and cutting off funding is the next logical step.
How about switching to the Libertarian Party?

STOPPING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Looks like the Feds are finally doing something about illegal immigration...sort of. They've indicted three cleaning company executives for tax evasion. That is, collecting income tax from illegals, but not sending it to the IRS. How about indicting them for hiring the illegals in the first place? Oh wait...we don't arrest people in this country for being illegal aliens. Darn.

But really, this is the way illegal immigration is going to be stopped, if we ever do anything about it. As long as there are companies willing to employ illegals, the Mexican invasion will continue. It's a simple issue of supply and demand. If the government and law enforcement would make hiring illegals expensive and painful, the practice would stop.

In the case of these three executives, if they had paid the taxes on the illegals, nothing would've happened to them. So the message is clear: hire as many illegals as you want..just pay off the government in the process and you'll be fine.

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

Oh yeah, this is definitely a redneck limo. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.
