I Heard It On NPR -
Have you ever wandered through a bookstore and checked out the titles? I do this sometimes because I write, and I daydream about what my bestseller would be titled. There is a certain set of words that seem to grace the cover of every bestseller on that magical shelf up front. These words include sex, golf, cats, dogs, heaven, fire, program, diet, young, and rich.
Listening to the news for the past several months, it's apparent that there are a couple of new words that will be shuffled into the mix to grace those lucky covers over the next six months. One of those is jihad and the other is recession. So I'm offering free of charge this list of future bestseller titles to all my Xanga friends. Feel free to help yourself:
The Sex of Dogs in Recession
Cool Cats of the Diet Jihad
Heaven in the Fire of Recession
Young Golfers of the Jihad
The Rich Young Diet Program of the Recession
Cats and Dogs under Fire in the Jihad
Under Fire, Sex Programs of the Recession
Rich Dad, Poor Jihad
The New Sacred Contract of the Recession
A Beautiful Jihad
The Stray Recession
A Jihad to Remember
In a Recession, Only Self Matters
Golfing Cats and Dogs of the Jihad 1853-1867, by Stephen Ambrose
And the Guaranteed Number One Beach read of the coming summer <drumroll>
Heaven is the Sacred Joy of the Golfing Recessionary Jihad Fire Diet Dog of the Young Sex Cat
(Any resemblance between this list and one that some of you may think you heard on NPR last night is strictly your imagination - and besides, he plagiarized me.)
