“Why Women Have Sex”
Just read an article by Tanya Gold in the Guardian about a new book. The title is “Why Women Have Sex”(Times Books).
Gold says that “It is by Cindy Meston, a clinical psychologist, and David Buss, an evolutionary psychologist. It is a very thick, bulging book. I’ve never really wondered Why Women Have Sex. But after years of not asking the question, the answer is splayed before me.
Meston and Buss have interviewed 1,006 women from all over the world about their sexual motivation, and in doing so they have identified 237 different reasons why women have sex. Not 235. Not 236. But 237. And what are they? From the reams of confessions, it emerges that women have sex for physical, emotional and material reasons; to boost their self-esteem, to keep their lovers, or because they are raped or coerced. Love? That’s just a song. We are among the bad apes now.”
237, eh?

Sarah Palin knocks down Glenn Beck then Dan Brown…
Holy Halibut! I just checked the Amazon.com hourly sales chart again and the upcoming memoir by Sarah Palin, “Going Rogue” has just bumped Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol” out of the top spot.
Palin’s book only entered the chart 2 days ago. Earlier today it blew past Glenn Beck’s “Arguing With Idiots. Now it has swamped Dan Brown. Amazing.
The book doesn’t even have cover art yet. Wow! The Palin book is kicking some you know what….

Sarah Palin bounces Glenn Beck…
Sarah Palin’s forthcoming memoir “Going Rogue: An American Life” is selling like Baked Alaska.
I just checked the hourly sales chart over at Amazon.com. Lo and behold, the Palin book is pre-selling like oil futures in the Arctic Refuge. Her book is so hot that it might be contributing to global warming. She just bounced Glenn Beck’s new book down a slot. Here are the top three books last hour on Amazon:
“The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown
“Going Rogue: An American Life” by Sarah Palin
“Arguing with Idiots” by Glenn Beck
Palin bounced Beck - now the Beck book has an arrow pointing down. That means that Beck’s sales are declining at the moment and I would speculate that Sarah’s rising sales are partially the cause. Some book buyers might be choosing the Palin book over the Beck book right now.
Sarah’s sales might be cannibalizing Glenn’s. Don’t you just love the free market? Sarah might be bouncing little Trig on her knee right now while her gusher of sales is bouncing Beck down the charts. Drill, baby, drill….
