36. Hey - I wanna read this guy that's on right NOW.

"Forgotten Allies" Joseph Glatthaar. He's a great big geek and possibly, a good read. :)

37. What's the book about Christians and fascism that was on recently?

Do you remember the author and the title?

I want to read that, the new edition of Armed Madhouse, and of course, President Gore's book!

[EFerrari]

40. I don't think I saw that one. Sorry!

:hi:

[Kurovski]

43. So you mean to say that I have to do it myself??!!

Where's the "I'm too lazy" emoticon when I need it?

Here it is, and a review of the book by a DUer:

'American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America' by Chris Hedges

[Viva_La_Revolution]

39. no, it just looks like her

I found it with the Google :)

[Kurovski]

45. You mean "the Google" on "the Internets"?

That Google, not the comic strip Google?

It's important that we're clear here.

41. Is David Horowitz now a permanent fixture on BookTv?

I don't understand why that man has a job or why they put him on teevee. Do you think he's related to Brian Lamb? lol

[Kurovski]

44. Maybe he's one of George's ex-boyfriends?

Next step: ambassadorship to Poland or heading up National Prayer Day?
