Our beloved Captain has a new book out - "Captain Capitalism - Top Shelf" which I find myself obliged to promote. This is a "best of" series compiling the best literary pieces from his blog, Captain Capitalism. Your other option is to spend the 80 hours he did sifting through his blog to find the stuff worth charging for. Some of these literary achievements include:
"My Bondage A Go Go Girl Story"
"She Did Not Get Hit by a Truck"
"Why Leftists Tend to Be Uglier"
Available in paperback or Kindle
Show the Captain a little love.
Ok...since I've always liked the Captain and couldn't buy him a drink 'cause I don't run Firefox, I just bought his book. But $9 for shipping was a ripoff. Ahhh, hell, he's worth it.
I bought the Captain's last book and sent it to my cousin's two boys in Calgary, who are about the right age. They seemed to appreciate it, but then they are sciencey-oriented anyway. The older one will be taking physics, bless him (to me, you might as well say "Harry Potter's Neato Magic Course" as "Physics").
But it's all very good stuff, and we should support our friendly neighborhood Captain, even though he's a foreigner. He can't help that. At least he has a toque.
Captan Cappy bragged on Yootoob how much time he has on his hands, riding a motorbike, ingesting some Rumpy stimulant, toking on a fat cigar in his leafy back yard, while netting a fat, comfy $19,000 per annum.
Whoa there Cap.
I am lining up with a wad of Franklins so that awesomeness rubs off a tad.

Captain - how hard is it to get your book into the KOBO ebook format? In an effort to travel light I now usually buy ebooks. If I could get it as a Kobo ebook I would buy it.
When is Kate going to do a "best of..." series? hmmm?
Looks like I'll have to reload the pay as you go credit card. Mamba...anthro/philosophy...weren't you the hippie chick...
Someone who cuts off their nose to spite their face. Obviously someone to listen to...
Someone who has no intention of selling too many books and making a difference, because then he couldn't spite his face. It's laughable...
syncro - I'll have you know I'm a failed archaeologist, and a damn good one.
I love all these people bashing the Captain. I notice it's always ad hominem. None of you will take him on on his arguments. You can't. It is indeed to laugh.
Win the argument at the hen party and lose the war. Yeah, that's the way to do it...
Yeah, you said that on another thread. Evidently you see yourself as a different kind of creature, and yet here you are, online, annoying people.
Well, I shall respect the "don't feed troll" policy and ignore you forthwith.
I suppose it is quite annoying for it to be pointed out that a hen party can't substituted for actually doing something substantive.
Or that the 'best economist' out there hasn't really ever done anything to prove it beyond words that he could if he wanted to...
Anyway, the difference between you and I is that I know the world is going the way it's been planned to go. Also, that there will be no big crash of the economy, even though by any measure, there ought to be. Slight inconveniences do not equal a crash...
So-called 'conservatives' scare themselves with economic scare stories and leftards scare themselves with climate scare stories. All quite amusing, and wrong.
Ha Mamba! I can dig it..*groan*
