It is being bought up in bulk by the corporate hatemongers.  No one is reading it (except maybe Noone).

there's another one "The Case against Barack Obama" by a National Review contributor.  He was on the PM drivetime radio today and boy did he have the goods on the kid.

Seems we should be tuning in to the Chicago Press.  they've been on BHO's ass for some time.  Seems "change" is the LAST thing he was pushing there and in his nearly 6 month's working in the Senate.

Dick Morris has a book out called "Fleeced" that O Reilly keeps touting as a NYT Best Seller - and Morris just tonight said, "I wrote it as a template for McCain. he just needs to read it and he will win."

Did you all see that Amazon scrubbed over 200 negative reviews of Nancy Pelosi's book?

SPEAKER OF THE FLOP: PELOSI SELLS 2,737 COPIES OF BOOK
Thu Aug 07 2008 08:11:48 ET

The most powerful woman in the history of American politics is suffering a humiliating defeat at the nation's bookstores, sales figures show.

In her first week at market, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sold just 2,737 copies of her book KNOW YOUR POWER, according to NIELSEN BOOKSCAN.

The DOUBLEDAY release was launched with a full media push, featuring high profile interviews on TODAYTHEVIEWTHISWEEK.

"I wrote the book in response to people asking me what it was like to go from housewife to House Speaker and for advice as to how young people, especially women, could balance family and career," Pelosi told the WASHINGTON POST.

Pelosi's sales debacle [#41 on the Non-Fiction Chart] is dramatically overshadowed by the first high profile anti-Obama book, OBAMA NATION, which debuts at #1 on both the BOOKSCAN and the NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller List, with 21,466 copies moved, industry insiders tell DRUDGE.

"The speaker was pre-occupied with house business last week," a source close to Pelosi explained Thursday morning. "She has now turned her focus to promoting this extraordinary book... doing local signings and speeches. I think we'll see an uptick."

Nancy seems to leave out the fact that Daddy was the mayor of Baltimore.

I wish I had all the money I've ever spent on books.  I could retire instead of merely being unemployed.

What do you do, and where do you live?

BTW, buy you some dinars. Seems Iraq's economy is on a HUGE rise. With 79 Billion in surplus, it's time for them to man the **** up.
