1. Cool! Mark Crispin Miller was on The Guy James Show
last Saturday and he was Awesome. I've always liked what he had to say and then listening to him talk about it was amazing. He explains bush had his proclivities so well.

"Cruel And Unusual", indeed!

2. With all due respect to William Rivers...
...I really dig the way Miller writes. Funny, almost conversational, and very insightful.

3. Way to go guys (and Will too)
I am with Zidzi. Great appearance on the Guy James Show. He needs to have a column in a major publication like Krugman.

4. This book is just infurating.
Seriously -- Fahrenheit 9/11 made me mad. "Cruel and Unusual" actually made me weep from frustration at points. It's a good read, but a hard and painful one.

6. More specifically:
"...William Rivers Pitt at truthout.com, the guys at DemocraticUnderground.com..."

There's a blurb from "Democratic Underground" on the back of the jacket (I presume penned by Skinner or whoever), praising the book.

So were you consulted personally at all, Will?

7. Nope
The only people who have reached out to me are the guys publishing Michael Moore's companion book to F9/11. They're publishing my essay 'Thank You, Michael Moore' in the book.

This one is just a nice surprise. :)

8. Well, apparently, MCM reads your stuff.

Nicely done, sir. Like I said earlier, I really respect him -- The Bush Dyslexicon was so much more than just a collection of "Bushisms".

And I didn't know you made the F9/11 Reader -- congrats again.
