What, no Ann Coulter?

Ummmm, no.

Now, I'll agree with Dan Savage that yes, his favorite acronym is funny and all (DOAC, Defecate on Ann Coulter), and I'll agree with Al Franken that Ann is a Liar Liar Liar.

But still, those two guys for a start probably have her books on their shelves, in the name of research.

Along with the Bork, Bennett, and O'Reilly flavors.

Unless they burned them after the research.

I guess having certain books on one's shelf doesn't mean one agrees with what they say.

Not directly, i suppose, but i think it would be more sensible to just borrow it from the library. I don't think i could bear the stigma...

I agree, the stigma would be too much.

But there are probably some people who don't mind that, and buy the books anyway. Maybe specifically in order to destroy them later. ;-)
