Do you happen to know if it is selling well? I heard that she initially had to self publish it.

That you've studied her enough to even make this comparison is weird. I think Brooks is attractive and very natural....why compare her to a man?

I have read Joanna's book and I enjoyed it. I love how she just does what feels right for her and her family. She doesn't care that she's not a traditional TBM and never will be.

Droopy, I think you need to evaluate why that bothers you so much. What's wrong with her just taking the parts of Mormonism that give her enjoyment in her personal life?

By the way, I could not make it through your entire blog. The really long, run on sentences gave me a headache and I didn't feel like rereading them over and over until they made sense (mainly because I pretty much knew they still wouldn't make sense). Sorry.

Example (1 paragraph, 1 sentence):
I do, however, take deep and overwhelming umbrage to her ideological and philosophical views, and to her claim to represent, in some sense, LDS culture, values, and politics, which, indeed, she does, but for only a tiny sub-group of LDS, and primarily LDS intellectuals who have breathed too deeply of the heady fumes of political correctness within the contemporary academic world and culture within which they have spent so much time and invested so much of themselves as students, academics, and public intellectuals.

I think it was self published, but that doesn't mean a huge amount in this day and age, since it's so much easier to do so than it used to be and without the stigma. I have a traditional publisher for my main series of books, but there are some things I put out there on my own because they are novella length, or I simply don't have a good enough offer on the table to sign them over yet.

Droopy, you like politics,right? What do you think of MY blog entry?:
http://apocalblog.blogspot.com/

Having solved all the spiritual dilemmas of the day I might as well fix politics now.

I wanna know how come my Op-Ed has not gone viral? Everyone I explain the point to so far has agreed with it.
Somebody get out there and beat the drum!

It's because my credentials are not really of any merit in the kingdom of the devil. I know. Hey, I can only keep pluggin' away.

Hey Nightlion,

I actually agree with much of your blog post. I think if more politicians had your passion and courage to follow your convictions, we would be much better off.

It's been a while since my last visit to the Apocalrock. I'm thinking of paying another visit next time I am in the area.

You must, you must. But mind the new address. I got a Book of Revelation sighting I am working on. Beast, False prophet, Red dragon waiting to devour the man child, woman pains to deliver. Still working on it. It is the broad view of Neff's Canyon just North of The Apocalrock major.

I think we all know the reason why. Droopy is scared of women. Any woman who dares to express her thoughts eloquently in the public eye send waves of terror down the overcooked-spaghetti spine of Droopy. The only way he can deal with it is to engage in crazy cyberstalking.

Yes, much more effective to engage her on an obscure blog using a misspelled domain name. That should work...


Hmm... That's interesting, because here in my General Settings page at Wordpress the name of my blog is...Joanna BrookS Watch. That's the domain name they gave me.

Now, Toronto, go back to polishing your sickle and hammer decoder ring and checking the scotch tape holding up all those pin-ups photos of Gloria Steinem you cut out of your old, roach clip-creased copies of Ms.

You really do belong with your brethren in the Occupy movement, Kish, toking and copulating in the streets. It would actually suit you much better than hanging around here pretending to be an intellectually mature adult.
