Another one today? I just had to offset the lunacy of the earlier post by sending my thanks to Leo from Texas, who sent me a nice long letter telling me about all the things he liked in The Happy Atheist. Yay! Fans!
Also, the audio book is in the works, and I’ll let you know when it’s available. I didn’t read it, though: Aron Ra did the honors. So another Texan…maybe that state isn’t so bad after all.
Robbie Taylor says
We’re not all bad, really! We promise!
Matt G says
Oh, Robbie, Robbie. Your denial runs so deep….
raven says
It is in my local library as well.
This is an achievement inasmuch as due to budget cuts, they don’t buy all that many new books.
otrame says
Aronra has a beautiful voice; Good choice.
And also?
Matt G @2,
There are actually quite a few not-bad people in Texas. It’s a big state, room even for us deviant, liberal, socialist, atheist types.
And I think we have a real chance at getting Wendy Davis elected. So let’s all work to turn Texas purple. If only because it will piss off the kind of people who deserve to be pissed off.

Hubby and I will be voting for Wendy Davis. We would love to see Texas turn purple, then blue.
It would be fun to watch the good ole’ boys go through the same color variations.

It may even be that Texas has the best people. I mean, who could have a better appreciation of the corrosive effect of the stoopid than someone who has been immersed in it against their will?
chrisv says
Really looking forward to the audiobook.
David Marjanović says
LOL! Day saved. :-D
JohnnieCanuck says
So if red states are not red because they are communist leaning, is it because of rednecks?
I can see where blue states got their associated colour, what with tending to be northerly and having colder weather and all.
David Marjanović says
There seems to have been something of a tradition to indicate the incumbent as blue and the challenger as red on maps. The parties only began to identify with these colors during the campaign of 2000.
THE BIG ONE is a strange place.
Rey Fox says
Hmm. I can understand why you wouldn’t want to do it yourself, but it’s going to be weird hearing him say things like, “As a mild-mannered middle-aged professor in the snowy wilds of Minnesota…”
