My boss just came in to my office, "We bought you a book!"

[Tyler Durden]

"If Democrats had any brains, they'd be Republicans" by Ann Coulter.

Ye Gods.

I said, "COME ON. You're not conservative enough to like HER are you?"

He said, "She's a good person!"

I declined to respond. I don't know if I truly can handle that sort of stuff forever.

[Ellen Forradalom]

1. Who dosed your coffee?

Honestly, this seems more like a bad acid trip or Dilbert meets Tom Tomorrow than real life.

[Tyler Durden]

2. They pay EXCEPTIONALLY WELL...

Best health insurance package in 10 years (and it's FREE with a charged up HSA).

They respect my BUSINESS decisions and leave me to take care of things on my own.

I guess I can put up with being their "Token Liberal." I need the job and I'm too old to get another one this good.

Ah well. Nothing is ever perfect.

[Ellen Forradalom]

15. A little juvenile taunting is a small price to pay

for all that, I suppose.

Let them have their small-minded fun. I am confident that you can shut them down when necessary.

[WileEcoyote]

16. So you just play anonymous dirty tricks in retaliation to your boss.

[Sequoia]

31. Buy him one that's opposite of Annethrax's book.

Like, um...Armed Madhouse maybe.

[mzteris]

3. was he pulling your leg?

Why the HELL would your BOSS give you a political book anyway?

And no - Ann Coulter is NOT a "good person" - she's an awful excuse for a human being. What a hatefilled nasty self-righteous bigot!

[Tyler Durden]

11. Nope. He's SERIOUS.

He didn't leave it when I assured him it would make a lovely doorstop after I coated it in concrete.

[mzteris]

19. ooo - ever heard the term

HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT?

[GardeningGal]

4. Sounds like a book burning party is in order. n/t

[DarkTirade]

18. Would you want to risk breathing in those fumes?

I'm sure they're highly toxic. At the very least they'd kill many brain cells.

[Swede]

5. That's not a book,it's a door stop at most.

Kindling for a fire maybe.

[Tyler Durden]

12. Great minds think alike.

[Heidi]

6. Okay, friend, it's time to make a deal with Heidi.

You start looking for another job RIGHT FREAKIN' NOWand I'll start burning incense and white candles RIGHT FREAKIN' NOW for your success.

Seriously, TD, they'll make you bitter before you change their minds (and I use the term "minds" very loosely in their case).

:hug: :hug:

[Tyler Durden]

9. Naw.

I look at them and pity them their hypocrisy. They claim to be Catholic HyperChristians, yet they're Bushites and Coulteroids, claiming that Coulter and Limbaugh are just being taken out of context.

I let them have their fun, then I post here for an hour to make up for it!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

7. WHAT A FUCKING MORAN

I am always shocked at this sort of crap. I would have been fired.

Ahhhhh!

You need to watch 9 to 5 Then... trap him in a harness on a garage door opener and deprogram him

[gmoney]

8. Cut the book into 4-inch wide strips

tape them together into maybe 5 or 6 foot long strips, make a few of these, then sneak them into the bathroom stalls and wrap them around the existing toilet paper rolls. Make sure you don't cut off the headers on the page with the "author's" name on them... Do it at a time AFTER the cleaning crew has been in...

[Tyler Durden]

10. I leave here at 4pm SHARP or earlier every day.

I'm home relaxing by 4:30. It's my RELIGION.

[gmoney]

35. well, there's always early morning, or even lunch hour...

or Amazon.com to resell it

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. A good person?

I dare you to collect some of her more gruesome quotes and hand them over to your boss. ;)

[Highway61]

14. Just a tad inappropriate at work, no?

as far as them being "Catholic HyperChristians", What a bunch of bunk...I always say "Look out for the ones who sit in the front pew."

[Tyler Durden]

17. He once tried to argue that the world was 6000 years old and Gore was a Commie.

It would have been hysterical if it wasn't so pathetic.

[Lex]

20. And he's your boss?!

That's the truly sucktastic part.

[Tyler Durden]

25. It's kind of fun to watch his personal life self-destruct.

His 20 year old daughter...well, let's just say "trollop" is a "nice" way of putting it. Nasty, too.

His 17 year old son is a completely spoiled brat with a "my dad's the BOSS" attitude.

His wife is a domineering chain-smoking woman about 5' nothing who looks like she escaped from an anorexia ward.

His cousin is the financial officer, smokes real Cubanos yet has a real autographed picture of Bush on the wall. CHEAP.

His brother, while a little more liberal, likes to throw random rejected parts into shipments just to see if they pass.

His other cousin is the pick of the litter, but has a temper that makes mine look mild.

So I guess I can take a little ribbing. Like I said, the job's not bad and the bennies are great.

[Connonym]

21. sounds like you have a good sense of humor about it all

as long as you can focus on the prize and laugh off their weirdness. Take the money and run Dude.

[Highway61]

23. Wow

It kinda makes you wonder how he made it to the top as a boss. I've worked in places like that, Makes ya feel like a Red Sox fan dressed in red and white at Yankee stadium. I would leave the book in the garbage can on top so he can see it...then go home for the evening.

[Tyler Durden]

27. His Dad still owns the place, lock stock and barrel.

Besides, he's too cheap to leave the book with me knowing it will find the nearest dumpster.

[Highway61]

29. Well Now

THAT explains everything...bet junior got handed the job on a platter...a typical spoiled child that never had to "reach".

[mitchum]

38. So he's just a little motherfucking spoiled piece of shit who has never worked for anything?

I hope you get the day off for his funeral. And I hope it's soon.
Fuck vermin like that.

[NMDemDist2]

22. buy him a book too

"the conscience of a liberal" might be a good choice...

http://www.amazon.com/Conscience-Liberal-Paul-Krugman/dp/0393060691

[Tyler Durden]

28. I offered to lend him "An Inconvenient Truth." He declined.

[NMDemDist2]

30. maybe an economist is more palatable than a politician?? n/t

[mitchum]

39. Maybe you should offer to break down the "big words" phonetically

[Pierre.Suave]

24. Good?

Like Hitler was good?

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. You should 'review' it

like diehard Cubs fan Mike Royko reviewed Keith Hernandez's diary of the Mets' 1986 world championship season:


I will begin my review by saying that this is a very solid book. The moment I opened the package and saw what it was about, I threw it against my office wall as hard as I could.

Then I slammed it to the floor and jumped up and down on it. I beat on it with a chair for several minutes until I slumped onto my couch, emotionally and physically spent. Although slightly scuffed, the book was still intact.

It is also a book that can cause excitement. I dropped it on the desk of a friend who has had weekend season tickets at Wrigley Field for the past 10 years. It immediately stirred him to emotional heights. He shouted:

"Why are you showing me that piece of (deleted)? I say (deleted) Hernandez and (deleted) the Mets and (deleted) the whole (deleted) city of New York. And (deleted) you, too."

Then he flung it against a wall and gave it a kick. It still remained intact. I told you it was a solid book.

32. I would say "I'm reluctant to accept this work of literature by an anti-Semite. Boss, I..."

"...appreciate that you're thinking of me. But Miss Coulter's recent public admission of anti-Semitism (i.e. Jews need to be "Perfected") troubles me. While I think it's absolutely normal for scholars and the curiuos to read, for instance, Mein Kampf to understand, but not accept, Hitler's ideas, I find it difficult to raise Miss Coulter to the level of historical importance to consider her worthy of such an examination at this time."

BONUS:
"If, however, her commentary expands into violent anti-Semitic acts I just may take you up on the offer to have something to read between jury deliberation and verdict."

[Deep13]

33. Proper response:

"Aw, thanks!" Take the book and dump it in the waste basket. Continue with what you are doing.

[Orsino]

34. Buy him Franken's LIES AND THE LYING LIARS WHO TELL THEM.

Good and entertaining debunking of Coulter.

[Initech]

36. I would have taken that book to the beach and thrown it in a bonfire.

I cant stand Ann Coulter, that's all her books are good for.

[tulip]

37. ask him if Jews need to be perfected?

Afterall his heroine thinks they do..............

[mopinko]

40. john dean's "conservatives without conscience"

reading it now. read it yourself, then see if he can get past the first chapter.

[PassingFair]

41. Buy him Lee Iacocca's latest book.

That should shut him up.

They don't know what to say about him!

42. Sounds like you work at Freeper Industries. So sorry.

If you can stand being around these morons all day, you are made of sturdier stuff than me. I went to work part-time in a small office a couple of years ago and was surrounded by the idiot fringe there, too. They listened to Rush in the morning and Hannity in the afternoon. It was awful. I quit after a few months.

Good luck!!

[Wapsie B]

43. I never ceases to amaze me that after all that has happened

since 12/12/00, repugs like that still have this air of superiority. It's more than a simple difference in ideology. They're too fucking stupid to realize how wrong they are.

[lildreamer316]

44. Someone must die.

I dunno who, but someone must. Figuratively, of course <snicker>
