Today’s blog will be guest written by Penn Jillette. Okay not exactly. Penn has a new book out called, Every Day Is an Atheist Holiday there is an excerpt from it over on Salon.com. In the book he talks a bit about his experiences on Celebrity Apprentice. It’s an interesting read. So if you like to read, be warned it is more than six sentences, head on over and check it out. A short excerpt of the …..er…excerpt are behind the jump as well as the like.
In real reality, there would have been hell to pay for screaming epithets at people, but in “TCA” world, there are no repercussions.

Then the next day, Trump says something insane like, “I’m glad you showed some backbone. I like passion.” He means, of course, he likes passion for his little TV show, but it feels like he’s saying the outburst was a good thing. We’ve chosen to make this whackjob, with the cotton candy piss hair and the birther shit, into someone we want to please.
