It’s almost Book Week!

How to Eat an Elephant drops on Tuesday and the Best Friends really want to get it to #1 on the NYT best seller list. To do that, we have to unseat . . . a biography of Clarence Thomas by Ted Effing Cruz.

Don’t let Teddy Cancun and High Life Clarence win. Order a copy of Sarah’s book now. (If you haven’t already, I mean.)

OR!

If you’ve already pre-ordered (THANK YOU!) and would like to get a signed bookplate for your personal copy, fill out this online form today. St. Martin’s Press will mail a signed bookplate to your address after the book is released on September 8 at no additional cost. Sarah signed each one herself. Supplies are limited.

The mission: get the book >> get a signed bookplate from Sarah >> unseat Ted Effing Cruz >> win in November >> eat the elephant >> win in 2028.

Today Sarah and JVL try to figure out who’s worse: John Fetterman or Susan Collins. (Give us your answer in the comments.) Also, the Big Orange Arch is coming. And we chew over Doug Sosnik’s recommendations for the Democratic party. It’s a big show.
