Royalties ...

Or, Fucking Their Own. As an author, royalties are a near and dear subject to me. The running joke here is that I do nothing without my 20%. That said, the right wing publishing house, Regnery, is screwing their writers out of theirs:

... The New York Times reports today that a group of conservative authors, including Swift Boat nutball Jerome Corsi, is suing right-wing darling Regnery Publishing ...

... "It suddenly occurred to us that Regnery is making collectively jillions of dollars off of us and paying us a pittance." He added: "Why is Regnery acting like a Marxist cartoon of a capitalist company?" ...


Not that I'd pay for one of their books but then a lot of people wouldn't be caught dead buying one of mine. Regardless of the subject matter or quality or motive, these writers put in their time and effort and should be compensated accordingly. Once again, we see the right wing has no qualms about screwing anyone, even their own.

Addendum: Though it is a nice bit of schadenfreude I'm enjoying seeing these clowns get their dose of Karma.

Great thanks to The Man from Philadelphia for the link.
