Shameless plug for Greg Palast's book Armed Madhouse
I picked it up to read on a long flight and can't put it down. It's downright scary what he's uncovered and how he pieces together the evidence of the NeoCon takeover of our government.

It is a must read from one of the last real investigative reporters.

Shameless plug over.

1. Second shameless plug for Armed Madhouse....
My understanding is that he has given up his rights to the book, so it can be freely distributed and reach a wider audience. It is available as a audio book download at:

http://www.btswarm.org/31cc304355aa0415caa21ca4eca6dc6683fbf673

The book is a must read (or must hear)!!!

3. Another kick and recommendation.
I bought this book when it first came out, and bought another one when it came out in paperback. Great stuff.

6. Am reading Gore's "The Assault Against Reason", and Palast's
book is next on the list.

I have heard him on AAR a lot over the past couple of weeks, particularly about the Rove emails he has, and I really want to read that book!

And please, plug away! From what I've heard about the book, and what I've heard from Palast, his seems to definitely be a must-read!

7. K & R, everyone should read Greg Palast's Armed Madhouse!
If you don't, well, you are just not "patriotic" and you don't love your country. Period.

Start to give a damn.

8. Kicking
His book is totally pissing me off.
Normally I could read a book that size in two days tops.Armed Madhouse has me where I can only read a few pages at a time cause it flat out pisses me off.
The only way this planet will ever recover from the fascists is if we hang every last one of them,imo.
