Come on folks, y'all need to git with it, Dave needs his 10 G's. Myself and my other self can hardly wait to fork over 1.001 G's, towards a worthy cause, keeping Dave away from them glory holes is worth it.
BTW Dave, I'll give you my vintage US issue duffel bag, has straps that allows one to wear it like a backpack. Oh, and the U.S. padlock that I obtained at the same time and place, Lackland AFB, SEP1981. My name is stenciled on the bag so you will always remember me ?
Of course you can be offensive. So what. Scroll on by all you ‘if you can be anything else in the world…be kind’ types 🤮 We still have the right to offend, and the god given right to offend. It’s like an American thing.
I was allowed to read anything I wanted from my parents’ vast home library. Mom would quip, ‘no girl was ever ruined by a good book’.
A guy walking on the beach finds a lamp and rubs it. Out pops a genie who tells him "As you have freed me from this lamp I shall grant you 3 wishes". So first the guy goes "I want 10 million dollars" and WHAM, 10 million dollars magically appears. Then the guy goes "I want a Porsche" and WHAM a Porsche magically appears. The genie tells him "You have one last wish" and the guy goes "I want a unicorn". The genie goes "unfortunately I can't do that as it would be beyond my powers to conjure up a mythical creature. Can you think of something else"? So the guy thinks for a minute and then goes "I wish Elon Musk wasn't a giant retard" to which the genie replies "What color unicorn do you want?"
Dude, if I can't reach my goal for the current book deal, I'm not likely to pursue another! That said, the good part of working for Taki's was that I got to retain full rights to my work. We all did. That's why Sailer & Goad could do anthologies. So maybe one day!

But completely understandable.
That was Jon Stewart's very successful shtick for years, on The Daily Show. Once in the early/mid 80s I asked by late GenX coworkers where they got their news from, and they uniformly, and pathetically naively, said "The Daily Show!".
80s or 2000s? I never heard of John Steward until around 2000. As I remember the 80s it was basically the big three networks for news and CNN was brand new and the only other show in town.
Congratulations Dave. I need to point out that Texas Khaan has restored my faith in humanity and save me from a life of inbred Pineys. A truly awesome hero indeed.
That is some great incentive. I might actually be starting to have some faith here. I had already decided that if I couldn't have your books I would just run beyond my beloved swamps, into the Barrens and become a hermit Piney for the rest of my days.
I was planning to send more money to GiveThendGoy on Friday, but the goal was met an hour ago. Guess my money will go towards buying 4 books, two of the old and two of the new. One of each to scribble notes in and one of each to never remove from their packages. Then, sorry to say Dave, after you finally greet the cold embrace of death, those pristine books will be fucking goldmines.
Thanks Dave. That’s a very adult response. I have an additional, completely, unrelated question: if you would care to offer your opinion on Mike Benz’s musings on the deep state, or “the blob” as he says he calls it (which came from Obama staff member Ben Rhoades).
You people only have to give enough USD to get a total of $8,999. When that amount is reached I shall kick in $1,001.01 .
Guess who just gave you $1001.00, it was written, it is now done. Get to work Dave !!!
You are a true and legit hero, my friend! A hero to me, and I hope one day to be able to shake your hand in person. Thank you, my good buddy.
I will be glad to shake your hand, let's meet out on the frozen steppe of Mongolia and drink airag together.
Any time!
Playing this tonight just for you:

I love Narandulam too, small yet powerful:

Thank you so much, we're all indebted to you!
Thank you, Mr. Khaan. I don't know Dave personally, but I assure you he's already working on the book.

Anyway, for what it’s worth, that’s my take.
Well-said, as always, Lisa. Thank you!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Swap the guy for MTG and the genie for Grok, and WHAM! You've got National News.
I saw this book and thought "Is this Cole's new one?":

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"From Franchise to Cold Fries: Race, Gender, and Urban Crime in an Inner-City McDonald's"
Will donate later today when I have access to my pc
Thank you!
You're making it harder and harder for me to sit on my wallet.
No matter what, Nooch, I love you. You help make this Substack lively and fun!
Bless you, man! You're one of my heroes and it's been a thrill to be able to interact with you here.
Has there been any talk about a "Best of Cole's Taki pieces" book?
Dude, if I can't reach my goal for the current book deal, I'm not likely to pursue another! That said, the good part of working for Taki's was that I got to retain full rights to my work. We all did. That's why Sailer & Goad could do anthologies. So maybe one day!
I’d buy that, I even got a membership to taki mostly for your stuff, as well as Sailer & Ann Coulter even though that site is a mess for subscription.
Great idea!

2000s, for sure.

100%. He was true to his word. A hero to us all!
And soon many of us will be asking, "Who WAS that masked man?"
LOL!!!!!
A Texan, my friend. A Texan.
Well, fat lotta help that is! lol
That is some great incentive. I might actually be starting to have some faith here. I had already decided that if I couldn't have your books I would just run beyond my beloved swamps, into the Barrens and become a hermit Piney for the rest of my days.
LOL!!!!
Happy to see you have gotten so much support Dave, a lot of people appreciate you, I hope you understand that.
Thank you for being such a good friend & supporter, Gina. I genuinely DO appreciate it.
Smells like Book!
Less than one grand away, my friend!
Howdy! Where zem Twinz? Lol
Cant we all just harass Ann Coulter until she makes up the difference?
LOL! Naw, she'll punch me in the nards.
Dave, your frequent posts on X these days are really bringing out the ph aggots!
You are of course shooting them all down, well done.
Now that I'm officially out of my house, my boredom factor will increase exponentially. Expect more posts!

If this has been answered, forgive me. But, why did you quit Taki? Not like it’s any of my business anyway…didn’t Ann Coulter beg you to stay?
This is about all I've been willing to say...
