I just finished FUBAR (Great), started on Generation Debt (Awesome so far)and am a week-finished with Sweet Jesus-I Hate Bill O'Reilly (felt a little rushed-but still good fun).

What should I try next? Has anyone read Sirota's latest? Is it worth picking up?

witty and blood boiling at the same time. Does an excellent job explaining Chavez and debunks peak oil. (Oil over $ 28/barrel will make it feasible to extract the thick oil, which allows Venezuela to take over Saudi ranking position)

loved his first book

eye opener.

last year.

foreign policy.

Great great great books on the most anti-neo-liberal and most progressive leader of nation on this planet.

No president or prime minister is more comitted to alleviating poverty than this guy, and nobody is doing a better job and nobody is getting more resitstance.

"The Politics of War" by Walter Karp (1979) about the machinations of our
government at the end of the 19th century, to mislead the citizens into support
for the war against Spain (when we took over the Philippines and Cuba) at about
the same time we "annexed" The Hawaiian Islands, and how all this laid the
groundwork for our sense of "manifest destiny" and other jingoistic attitudes.
Which led to entry into WWI. The lessons are that administrations are almost
always devious. Maybe we can take some ideas from history and overturn this
trainwreck which the Reich-wing has brought on us. BTW, in the early 1890's,
we almost went to war in...Venezuela...over some fabricated issue. Most of this
book deals with the 1890-1920 period. It's stunning how the dynamics today are
nearly identical to that era...tragic indeed. Karp wrote several books useful for
progressive lessons.
I've just received Palast's "Madhouse" and "Best Democracy Money Can Buy."

great great book!

I'm serious. It was colossally effective propaganda, and the similarity between Hitler's right wing populism and that of the current Republican Party will make you gag. But for a statement of the "Big Lie" theory, and an understanding of what we're up against, you'll never find a better source.

I play a little game with myself. I try to find quotes in it that track virtually word for word with Bush's speeches.
