New Media Drives Book Popularity

I'm overwhelmed by the response Intellectual Morons is getting in the alternative media--talk radio, the blogosphere, and the Internet. Blogads appearing here, here, here, and elsewhere, articles like John LeBoultillier's enthusiastic review on NewsMax, debates among bloggers about the book (like this one between John Cole and Oliver Willis), and appearances on KABC's Al Rantel Show, KSFO's Morning Show, and other radio programs have all propelled sales of the book. Despite the fact that my face hasn't graced a single television screen to promote the book, and to my knowledge not a single print review has appeared yet, Intellectual Morons has consistently been on Amazon.com's non-fiction top-sellers list for the past couple of days. All hail alternative media!

Hey Dan,

I bought your book via a hyperlink on your site to amazon so hopefully that means some pennies in your pocket to support the site. If you can get a hyperlink to Buchanan's newest book that will give your site some money then I will purchase it through Flynn Files. I really need to read that book.

Oh please. There are just as many morons on the left as right that are blinded by ideologies. Fundamentalism and creationism should have been mentioned in your introduction to your book. And gurus? What are the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, who would just assume that they make your decision for you? Ignore the politics, use your head, vote your conscience.

I bought a copy of your book at Barnes & Noble in Grand Junction, CO. It had a great placement in the new arrivals section -- everybody walking into the store saw it. Good job to the guys doing your marketing.
