This book caught my eye at The Boulder Bookstore in CO. I thumbed through it and there was so much stuff it boggled my mind.

I decided to buy it because as I leafed through it, I realized the most outrageous parts were actually true, and I had to take it home to research what was real and what was "political satire". There are a ton of books on Bush, most of which I find boring, apologetic, apoplectic, or full of stuff I already know. This one floored me with the amount of research -- most of which actually checked out, even though it tried to present the material in a humorous way.

If you want something that basically catalogs everything this president has done to this country, and (based on the publication date and stuff that seemed absurd but actually came to pass) this is a keeper. Since I live in CO and the DNC is being held here, I'm looking forward to seeing how much of this book is demonstrated by the way the various agencies handle the convention.

And if the seemingly preposterous premise that Martial Law will be declared and the elections either canceled or nullified actually comes true in the next six months, this book will basically become my political Nostradamus book.

If you care about politics, about the Bill of Rights and the abuses of Executive Privilege, you're really going to like this book. Even if you're sick to death of Bush, this book presents what's happened in the last 7 years in a much more amusing and less pompous way than similar books, and the line-by-line presentation offers the ability to check out the facts easily. I'm glad I bought it. And every time something interesting happens, I check the book to see if it was predicted. Pretty surprising. Learned a lot.
