Maybe it was an accident -- maybe there's a hip-hop golfing star or a Food Network host (World's Biggest Hamburgers!) or somebody in thoseTwilightMormon dry-hump books with a similar name -- but for some reason, Tim Pawlenty has managed to sell 4,765 copies of his "new book," which is probably just a print-on-demand version of the Power Point he gave at the Rotary Club in the back room at Denny's last week.
Fortunately, it's not too many trees. The book is 320 pages long. The average tree yields somewhere between 13,000 and 20,000 small book-sized leaves (2 pages) of paper. So, he's used up somewhere between 40 and 60 trees. A good-sized backyard in Minnesota could supply that.
Funny, it's #1 on Amazon. In the category of Books (good start!) / History (questionable, but we'll go with it) / United States (OK)/ State & Local (we're definately narrowing it down here!) / Minnesota (!).
Taking a look at the entire field, this morning (1/21/2011) its Rank on Amazon's Bestsellers is #5,114.
The problem with Timmah! is that he has only gone halfass full tilt right wing nutty. He needs to take some lessons from the queen of wing nuttiness Bachmann. I just got this feeling that they don’t like each other.
All I can think of is the poor trees who gave their lives so Pawlenty&#039;s ideas could find physical form. Maybe it was for the better. They could have ended up in Palin&#039;s next book: <i>&quot;Lost Dude: The Disappearance of Todd Palin and his Skanky Whore Girlfriend&quot;.</i>

Why it would want to, I have no idea.

So, it&#039;s in the Top 5,000!

The perfect solution for those cold Minnesota winters!

Hooray, a book burnin&#039;. Can I bring a Qu&#039;ran?

Is Pawlenty one of the douches that denied their state stimulus funds because it&#039;d make him look good to presidential primary voters?
