Gaming Amazon for good.
I had the pleasure of meeting Roger Simon during the RNC convention last summer. He was really nice and kind, so it's annoying to read that his political beliefs may be hurting his book sales, due to people 'giving those books one-star (out of five) reviews and leaving derisory comments' on Amazon. I don't know how many people buy books on the basis of those reviews, but nevertheless if you've got a second go over to the Amazon page and hit 5 stars for Roger's books. He definitely deserves your support.

In general, whenever somebody tries to sabotage your work, you know that you're doing something right.

Posted by: Dawn Summers at February 22, 2005 02:42 PMThat's the problem with rating systems like Amazon's. Conservatives by our very nature are supportive of the rule of law. Therefore we are not likely to go to Amazon's site and give Simon's book more stars than we honestly believe it rates or give Franken zero stars without reading his book.

you mean expect when it comes to any issue on which the rule of law doesn't support our position.
