There’s Money Out There Somewhere

There were exciting programs on C-SPAN over the weekend, but I’ll mention only two here. When I tuned in, Gov. Bobby Jindal was in the middle of talking about his new book Leadership and Crisis. He spoke from the Reagan Ranch Center in California and received much applause for statements he made. Later in the day, I tuned in again and got the first half of his speech, minus the introduction. He is a dynamic speaker and needs no teleprompter. How refreshing.

On another program a woman answering questions from callers said George Bush’s Decision Points has sold two million copies. That’s a runaway best seller.

The last time I checked, authors were getting, for their own pockets, about one dollar per copy. If that is still the rate, then George has already made two million dollars on the book. If two dollars a copy, then he’s made four million. It could also become a selection for book club distribution and net him another tidy sum. I don’t think Hollywood will pick it up, but you never know.
