I am promoting a book I think should be read by all literate persons.  It is Family of Secrets by Russ Baker.  Below is a review posted on Amazon that should stimulate your interest.  A quote I like much is from this review, "And riding on his dad's coattails is young George W Bush. Where Poppy went wrong, George W seemed to correct: managing the media to spin all inquiries; politicizing every government agency; handing out juicy contracts to cronies."  To me this describes exactly what occurred this last eight years.  W's administration was not failed.  It was payback for what the media, government agencies, Saddam, Iran, the list is long, did to his father.  From reading this book, I found the Bush's couldn't care less what fallout happened as long as they got the money and power.  They had no love for the country, only love of self.  What a waste.

Check out the review.  I hope it stimulates you to read the book.

Hi Ron,

I just saw 'poppy' chiding the press for the vitriolic atmosphere that criticised W and was mean to him......without realizing that it was he and Roger Ailes that started it all. Then he had the nerve to call Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow.....sick puppies.

I am convinced that Republicans live in an alternate reality. Family Secrets sounds like a good study on a family dynamic of a rich and dysfunctional family.

Kelly,

There are times I read books I think of people who would enjoy them.  You come to mind as I read it and I know you would/will enjoy it.  Not touting my mind, but, a person either has to have the intellectual mind to comprehend this stuff, or as in my case, the paranoid psyche of a pit bull.  Seldom do I use the word hate, but if I did hate some of it could be spent on the Bush family for what they have done to US of A and the world.  Such a waste.

I have spent a lot of time on line when I should be packing.  Gotta' get it done or Deb will leave without me.  Bon Voyage!
