One in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newschannel5.com\/Global\/story.asp?S=13129871\">Tennessee<\/a>, one in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocala.com\/article\/20100909\/ARTICLES\/100909743\/1412?Title=Westboro-Baptish-Church-to-burn-Qurans-if-Dove-doesn-t\">Kansas<\/a>, and one in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wyomingnews.com\/articles\/2010\/09\/09\/news\/18local_09-09-10.txt\">Wyoming<\/a>. I can&#8217;t take the pressure anymore &#8211; I have to burn one, too, so I can get some publicity, too.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t own a Koran, ya know because I&#8217;m a right wing pro-war ignorant turd. So instead, i&#8217;ll be burning Ernest Hemingway&#8217;s collection of short stories &#8220;The Snows of Kilimanjaro&#8221;. I always hated Hemingway anyway &#8211; he was a pretentious old fart who couldn&#8217;t write his way out of a paper bag. He sold books because of his lifestyle, not because of any particular writing talent. I can&#8217;t write any better, but he always pissed me off. Well, &#8220;For Whom The Bell Tolls&#8221; was pretty good &#8211; but it was an anomaly.<\/p>\n<p>And, oh, he liked Cuba better than the US, so ya know, he&#8217;s kind of anti-American. He wasn&#8217;t a suicide bomber, but he committed suicide and that&#8217;s half of the phrase right there. I know his connection to 9-11 is tenuous, but then so are connections of most of the Muslim world to 9-11.  <\/p>\n<p>I can be convinced to not burn the book if Mariel Hemingway will come over tomorrow and reenact the lesbian scene from &#8220;Personal Best&#8221; with Patrice Donnelly in my living room. I&#8217;m not cheap, but I&#8217;m easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drudge lists three more Koran burnings for tomorrow.
