Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

When I become rich and famous I am writing my own boring, self-aggrandizing book, dammit."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

First meeting between celeb and ghostwriter:
Celeb: "Hey, thanks for coming over. So I want you to write a book for me."
GW: "No problem. You got a topic in mind?"
Celeb: "I don't know, I was thinking something about the liberal media."
GW: "That has kind of played out. How about something on the evils of ObamaCare? That is red meat these days. Assuming we act quickly."
Celeb: "Great idea! Let's go with that."
GW: "Any preference on content?"
Celeb: "Nah. Just use the standard talking points and make shit up when you need to. These people just after confirmation bias anyway."
GW: "Got it."
Celeb: "And whatever you do, don't put your name anywhere on the cover or inside the book. I want people to think I wrote this."
GW: "No problem. That is standard procedure. Any preference on length?"
Celeb: "Not too long. I hate long books."
GW: "OK. 250 pages maybe?"
Celeb: "Perfect. Can you have this done in two months? I want to start pimping it on my talk show. Build up the pre-orders."
GW: "Consider it done."
Hooray for capitalism!"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostYeah, I saw a program recently on the ghostwriting industry. Sometimes they will do the entire book for as little as $50K. They sit down with the "author" to get a feel for the general message or story they want conveyed in the book and off they go. Sometimes the author reviews the work as they go and offers feedback, but in many cases they just skim through it when it is all written."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
