In the sea of political books currently on sale, I do believe there is one I'd like to buy.

I was browsing the local version of Barnes and Noble today, and I spent about 30 minutes in their Current Issues (aka Politics) aisle. What a horrific lineup. We have Ann Coulter's latest collection of screeds concerning the stupidity and moral depravity of those who don't think like her. We have at least 20 books dedicated to revealing various scandals of the Bush administration, nicely counterbalanced by rightwing celebrities who have written books about the evils of liberalism and Muslims.

I actually opened David Horowitz's book about the 100 most dangerous college professors -- morbid curiousity, I guess. I laughed out loud to discover that roughly one third of the names are Middle Eastern or Spanish surnames. One that caught my eye was a music prof from Ball State (Indiana) who also teaches a class about Peace and Conflict Resolution. His greatest sin? A student -- without any supporting documentation -- claims the prof has a leftist political agenda and gives good grades to those who espouse his politics and bad grades to those who don't. ("Grade appeals? Huh? Oh, screw that! I'm writing an email to Horowitz.")

And, of course, every candidate in both parties seems to have at least one book written by them and one book written proclaiming the end of the world if that candidate is elected. Prominent among the latter was Kathleen Willey's "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton". Check out the tabloid-style photos. Soon to be in toilet paper form.



With all the shrieking and backstabbing and wailing, I found one incredible source of literary tranquility. There, humbly nestled on the shelf was Daniel Schorr's "Come to Think of It: Notes on the Turn of the Millennium". He has many of his essays from the decades documenting recent history through his eyes.



I'm buying it. And, no, you cannot borrow it. Get your own.

I'm sure it will be good.

However, I am so tired of this crew, I just don't care about their sins anymore. I want them to go away.

Every time this country forgives and forgets the crooks who have tried to destroy her, the thieves and scoundrels come back with even more power, money and influence. I'm looking at starting, or finding, a defense fund that will prosecute them from Gonzales to Rove, to Rumsfield, to Dick and George. If I find, or start, one I'll post it here. I'm still researching this. And I wont rest until these thieves have been prosecuted to the absolute limit of my time and money.

into their hearts, or that little black hole that used to contain their heart tissue.
