Who Can Give the Best Title for Jessica Lynch's Book?
Edited on Tue Sep-02-03 09:52 PM by David Zephyr
Weigh in here with your best title for Jessica's Million Dollar Book?

What would make it sell? What would make it sizzle? What would really make Jessica and her publisher lots and lots of moolah?

Best Title Contest.


Oh, and far be it from me to ask anyone to hold back. Let it out! Give Jessica a good title to help her get really, really rich. Maybe not Halliburton rich, but rich enough to make Ann Coulter jealous.

Sarcasm is welcomed here.

1. "She Survived Hell"
I'm not a Jessica basher. She went to Iraq--Bush's dirty little war, and was lucky as hell to survive and will probably wear the scars of that war for the rest of her life. I'm glad for her.

14. Was it worth it, Mr. Bush?
I wanted to serve my country and make money for college so I could be a teacher. You sent me to die for greed and revenge.

Now I will wake up screaming into the darkness for the rest of my life, scaring the children I will bear and paining the husband at my side.

23. An interesting thing...
It is her biography. This is very odd considering she was only nineteen at the time. Surely one should be a little older than that to "write" a biography?

I do not, however, begrudge the girl her part in a million dollar deal. And will the supposed author really write the book for her as he contracted to do? Or, will he get someone else to do it for him and take credit, as he did at the newspaper before he was asked to resign. NY Times, I think?

Afterthought: According to what her parents said a while back, her memory is unimpaired. Of course she was in a great deal of pain and unconscious most of the time, but aside from that they claim she recalls what occurred.

I wish her luck. She could have been very, very dead.

32. An American Soldier
That's the title it probably will have. That's what she kept repeating when the rescue team showed up to "rescue" her: "I'm an American soldier."

This is the kind of thread that would be right at home over at the Free Republic, if they had occasion to disrespect her. I understand that there was a lot of hype about her captivity and rescue. But mocking her ordeal is something she doesn't deserve and belittles you all.

Seriously, though, what about the other soldiers who are risking their lives, 24 hours a day? Jessica wasn't there for more than a few days (right?)

I'd say there are 135,000 others more deserving.

Just what is it she's going to write about.

I have to confess I might have to check it up in the library when it comes out so as to see what parts she magically "remembered".

(and how close it all suddenly hews to Bushevik Party Line)
