No, I did not misspell the word “Commentators”. That is an On Purpose Misspelling. I’m not talking about “Commentators”. I’m talking about “Commontators”. I know what I am doing...Or do I?
What do all guests on News Shows that you don’t recognize have in common that makes them Commontators not Commentators? It’s the fact that they have all just written a book.
Even the Commentators who you are familiar with have all written a book at sometime in the past. It can be the distant past but it will still be mentioned in their Thanks for Coming Introduction and again in their Thanks for Coming Dismissal.
I tried to trick one of the major news channels into having me on as a guest. It didn’t go so well. My problem is I am too honest. I may need to hire a publicist to lie for me. Here’s how it did go (in bullet point format)...
Ø Me: Hello, my name is Smartfella and I would love to be a Guest Commontator on one of your Nightly News Shows.
Ø He: Well, Mr. Fella, have you written a book?
Ø Me: Yes, I wrote the Little Read Book.
Ø He: Do you mean you wrote the same book that Mao Zedong wrote?
Ø He: I find that hard to believe.
Ø Me: No, you don’t understand.
Ø Me: I did not write Mao’s Little Red Book.
Ø Me: I wrote Fella’s Little Read Book.
Ø Me: There is a big difference Little Red and Little Read and actually Mao’s book is Red and my book is Green.

How much does the LITTLE green book cost? Can I read it to fall asleep for my nap? Does it come in LARGE print? I have all these questions! Can you help? The movie industry made a great movie about THE little black book. Is a movie coming your way for the LITTLE green book?
There has already been a movie about the Green Book, maybe yours could be called Tree Green or Spring Green, something like that.
