3. Priceless
Now, everyone needs to turn these into talking points and blast away. Someone at the K/E campaign and the DNC needs to wake up and man the artillery on this!

5. Yeah it would be
good to put some of the better ones on a one-page flier with a link at the bottom for more. And refer to his book out next week. I usually post such fliers on grocery store and library bulletin boards and other places. I even stick them in newspapers and books on bush.....

8. Vanity Fair has been so great
Last year I was writing to complain about their bush articles. For this whole year, they have had the most outstanding hard hitting real investigative journalism and usually each month the bonus of the hilarious (aka in the style of Jon Steward) articles of any magazine in print.

ALL HAIL VANITY FAIR!

This month alone:
The Monarchy of George W. Bush, War Records and the Presidency, Color Me Khaki and Of War and Presidents. god, it's such a relief to the soul to read entertaining, intelligent, serious writing, and good humorous writing as well.

From Color Me Khaki by James Wolcott:
"The stateside chicken-hawk brigade still can't let go of the WWII metaphors."
"The memorial represents the latest craze in neo-Roman holy moly Vegas pseudo-classicism."

"The WWII Memorial represents the kitschification of history, the Disneyfication of national experience -- anesthesia set in stone. It's solemn and unserious, the perfect nice memorial for a nation that wants to both make a sad face and feel good about itself. To walk from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to the WWII Memorial... is like leaving a prayer room and stumbling into a fairground."
