Book Day!

Some of these I have and you can borrow if you show up on my doorstep (because I'm certainly not bringing them to you). Some of them I plan on buying soon. And some of them I've mentioned before. But it's a Sunday, and I'm reading, so I thought I'd take a few minutes to share.

Dan Savage is on of my favorite advice columnists, and let me be on record as being pro-sin.
Skipping Towards Gomorrah

Bill Bennett. Robert Bork. Pat Buchanan. Dr. Laura. Bill O'Reilly.
They have written bestseller after bestseller condemning the sins
and liberal views of America.
It's time for someone to speak up for the sinners.


Hunter S. Thompson came out with a new one recently. Lou and I both dutifully bought it and read it. The cracks on Bush are worth the price of admission alone.
Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century

Let's face it -- the yo-yo president of the U.S.A. knows nothing. He is a dunce. He does what he is told to do -- says what he is told to say -- poses the way he is told to pose. He is a Fool.

This is never an easy thing for the voters of this country to accept....

...To say that this goofy child president is looking more and more like Richard Nixon in the summer of 1974 would be a flagrant insult to Nixon.


And the book that I am currently reading (slowly, as each chapter requires digestion) by Eric Alterman:
What Liberal Media?

After reading What Liberal Media? you will understand that the real news story of recent years is not whether this newspaper, or that news anchor, is biased but rather to what extent the entire news industry is organized to communicate conservative views and push our politics to the right—regardless of how “liberal” any given reporter may be.


And our last entry today is from Arianna Huffington. You know, the gal behind The Detroit Project?

Pigs at the Trough: How Corporate Greed and Political Corruption are Undermining America

Provocative political commentator Arianna Huffington yanks back the curtain on the unholy alliance of CEOs, politicians, lobbyists, and Wall Street bankers who have shown a brutal disregard for those in the office cubicles and on the factory floors. As she puts it: "the economic game is not supposed to be rigged like some shady ring toss on a carnival midway." Yet it has been, allowing corporate crooks to bilk the public out of trillions of dollars, magically making our pensions and 401(K)s disappear and walking away with astronomical payouts and absurdly lavish perks-for-life.
