Mean & Meaner
War & War
Ivory & Ivory
The Morgage Crisis Miracle Diet
Foul-Ups, Bleeps & Right Wing Blunders
Up in Plames

You learn to have a great weekend -- always love your responses. Thanks.

Try, try again...

In case the unbowdlerized version didn't make it through the machine, how about...

'My Cheatin' Art' is wonderful!

My humble contribution - 'Lies and Lie-Ability'

I like it. There's a song there somewhere.

I don't care what title they give it as it's full of lies and his gigantic ego. No one should give him the time of day. He brought more harm to the administration than anyone besides Cheney. I hope his book is a big flop.

[David Wild]

So in other words, you might wait for the paperback, right?

I'm so sorry I missed this last night - it would have sent me to sleep chuckling. I don't think there's any way I can compete with "The Mortgage Crisis Miracle Diet" but here goes....

Thanks to Karl Rove ("Rove admits to an error on Iraq War," ) for again reminding us that the first casualty of war is truth. Change Karl's book title to "How to Lie Without Embarrassment."
