Your Mama I Am, Your Daddy I Am, In The Alley That Sam I Am
Title: “Green Eggs and Ham”
Author: Dr. Seuss
Rank: 58
Blurb: “Sam keeps asking persistently.”
Review…
A local dealer pressures a buyer into ingesting a strange substance for “free”. During 80% of the book, the protagonist clearly says “No”, but the substance dealer continues to pressure. In the end the protagonist is defeated, ingests the substance, and shows signs of addiction proclaiming outrageous ways in which he’ll take this new substance. There is no evidence that the antagonist will continue to provide free samples of the substance once the main character is addicted.
This is done in rhyme & marketed to children.

The worst is a story about a strange cat who enters a family home when the parents away and fills the kids heads with ideas of creating mayhem.
Jeb Bush’s 2008 presidential vote was “lost” according to his spokesbot — or he didn’t vote.*
Either way, bwahahahahaha!
*chances are that the Talibunny forgot to vote in 2008.
@SanFranLefty:
Jeb voted for Obama?
@ManchuCandidate: Wouldn’t surprise me.
