    This book just shot to the top of the wish list for Cooks Source editor Judith Griggs.

    Bush is catching up to Clinton. When you factor in eBooks, he's only 25,000 behind after the first week:

    I now point you to the "Attacking the Messenger" portion of the link I provided. Have many Republicans simply never taken a logic class? They are simply awful at making effective arguments.

    Sec, actually the Big Gov story did explain that a person cannot commit plagiarism by quoting his own words, but I do see what you mean. It was buried at the end after the majority of it was about HuffPost's issues.

    I get what you're saying, but I think election results show otherwise. They realize they aren't making arguments that would hold up in a graduate philosophy course. But they aren't aiming at that crowd. Ad hominem arguments and so forth work very well on John Q. Public.
