Mayor Neal Coonerty of Santa Cruz, Calif., thinks Rush Limbaugh's "See, I Told You So" is worth its weight in baloney - about $8.40. So he's donating part of the proceeds from the copies he sells at his bookstore to the liberal causes Limbaugh hates.

Coonerty, who owns Bookshop Santa Cruz, said he is fed up with the conservative radio commentator's attacks on Santa Cruz as a left-leaning city.

So he's selling the book for the regular price of $23 but donating the difference between that price and the $8.40 "value" to the National Organization for Women and the Santa Cruz AIDS Project. The book weighs 1.4 pounds.

"We wanted to turn him into a liberal fund-raiser," said Coonerty, who will lose $5.60 per book.
