Irony Is Dead

Where do I even start?

Five authors have sued the parent company of Regnery Publishing, a Washington imprint of conservative books, charging that the company deprives its writers of royalties by selling their books at a steep discount to book clubs and other organizations owned by the same parent company.
Is it that the company is engaging in conservative-approved free market, hyper-capitalist practices? Is it that the authors are resorting to going to the courts? (torts! Get me my smelling salts!!!) Or is it that one of them wrote a book titled "Treachery: How America's Friends and Foes Are Secretly Arming Our Enemies"?

I'll let you know as soon as I can stop laughing.
