Just got Mark Crispin Miller's "Cruel and Unusual"
All I can say is 'Holy Crap!" Even though I hear of the BushCo crimes on a daily basis, when they are packed into such a tome they become so much more heinous.

I keep spewing facts and Janet keeps shaking her head and asking WHY the rest of the country doesn't 'get' this stuff!!!

Oh, my blood pressure!!!

Buch and Co. are SAVAGE PREDATORS who have lied so long they have NO concept of WHAT Truth is...

Bush/Cheney is the POLAR OPPOSITE of Jefferson!!!

Ahhh, my head!!! :grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:

1. Miller is one of the best...
"Cruel and Unusual" and "The Bush Dyslexicon" are two of the best pieces of political writing I've ever read. Mark sources everything he writes about and his analysis is almost always dead-on perfect. These two books should be mandatory reading for everyone who wants to know about BushCo's litany of atrocities. But more importantly, Mark's writing helps to answer a very complicated question: Why do the media give these monsters a pass?

2. It really drives the point home,
doesn't it? Wait till you get to the part about the Christian Reconstructionists. :mad: :scared: and :puke:

And be sure to check out the back cover, second blurb down.
