From Burt Prelutsky — Liberals:
America's Termites
Burt
Prelutsky's new book of
political commentary, Liberals: America's Termites, is
now available.
The irrepressible former LA Times humor columnist and movie reviewer
for Los Angeles Magazine
provides this blurb for his book:
"Witty political commentary in which
liberals in general, and their leaders in particular, are hoisted on
their own arrogant petards. In 13 chapters, a few of which are
'Islam is a Peaceful Religion, and If You Don't Believe It, They'll
Cut Off Your Head,' "'Why 80% of Jews Vote Like 90% of Blacks,' 'Why
90% of Blacks Vote Like 80% of Jews,' 'Sex, Sex and More Sex"' and
'Hollywood Would Rather Make Trouble Than Movies.'
"Prelutsky, like a modern-day Zorro,
slashes away at the likes of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, Rangel,
Olbermann, Matthews, Emanuel, Axelrod, George Clooney, Sean Penn,
Jon Stewart, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, and all
the rest of the left-wing termites who have infested Washington and
the world of entertainment."
The book is available from Amazon.com, or it can be ordered for $20
(including shipping and handling) from Burt's own imprint,
Scorched Earth Press, 16604 Dearborn
Street, North Hills, CA 91343-3604.
Burt maintains a very active blog, skewering those on all points of
the political spectrum, at

From Bob Scheer: The
Great American Stickup
The Great American Stick-up:
How Reagan Republicans and Clinton Democrats
Enriched Wall Street While Mugging Main Street,
by LA Times columnist and editor-in-chief of TruthDig.com
Robert Scheer, was published in paperback on September 7.
Bob's latest book takes a hard look at the meltdown of the mortgage
market and at the many decisions by politicians on both sides of the
aisle, going back many years, that set the stage for the nation's
greatest economic crisis since the Depression.
Scheer notes that, while Ronald Reagan preached deregulation, it was
under Bill Clinton that Wall Street got the repeal of the Glass-Steagall
Act, enabling bankers to take much greater risks than in the past.
That freed them to invest in derivatives and other complex
securities, including the bundled mortgages that led to the great
housing bubble that recently popped.
Although an avowed fan of President Obama early on, Scheer believes
the president's policies are off-target. Rather than focusing on
help to the banks, Scheer believes the Administration should have
imposed a moratorium on foreclosures for several years
An excerpt from the book is available on
TruthDig, and the book can be purchased on
