John Ettorre :
Gee, what a mystery. You’re of course free to spin conspiracy theories to explain all this. But did you ever think of the more obvious possibilities such as these: that a book with such a stupid title, written by an “author” without much name recognition among the great mass of serious readers isn’t real high on the list for booksellers to think about when it comes time to ordering books that will move off the shelves.

Then why, pray tell, is it number 1 on Amazon? I would think that indicates significant interest and a hell of a lot of sales.

The title seems very apt to me, and obviously to a lot of other people as well. Maybe it’s “stupid as stupid does.” You know, that liberal problem.
