Saw this in Borders yesterday while my girlfriend and I were looking for new reads.

This looked incredibly interesting.

I was wondering if anyone here was familiar with it, was planning to read it, or as read it, and if so could fill me on. Is it worth buying? Is it a good read.

Also, please look at these FReeper reveiws on the site.

If you don't mind creating an amazon.com account (they haven't spammed me yet, and I've had one for over a year) please report the FReeper posts as inappropriate. The two on the front page are way over the top.

One of them refers to the homosexual agenda, and the other is written by a guy calling himself "John 'Fake' Kerry".


Thanks for your time and feedback.

How the Grinch stole America

(A verse for the inauguration, with apologies to Dr Seuss)

Special report: the US elections

Salman Rushdie
Thursday January 4, 2001
The Guardian


Every Vote down in Voteville liked Voting a Lot,
But the GRINCH, who lived West of Voteville,
did Not.
For Voting was Counting - not just Adding and such
But finding out if you Amounted to Much.
In this case, the question was, who, in a pinch,
Amounted to More? Did the Veep? Or the Grinch?

The Veep! What a creep!
What a CREEP! CREEP! CREEP! CREEP!
He simply could NOT be outdone by the Veep.


....

Why worry? The Constitution is strong,
The judges who judge it can never be wrong,
The Veep may have won, but he's lost.
And that's that.
Voteville accepts the high judges' fiat.
There isn't a holler, there isn't a scream,
Think of the dollar! Let's play for the team!
So everyone okays the Grinch's régime,
And things are probably
probably
probably
probably
probably
Not as bad as they seem.

"Four whole years of Grinchdom!"
the Grinch cries with glee
"There's Only One Person who Counts now
...That's
ME."

4. Here's the funny thing, and I think Borders did this on purpose

They had it displayed right next to this book, by John Gibson

Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1595230165/002-2332004-5480063?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v=glance

"The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot ot Band the Sacred Christian Holiday is Worse Than You Thought."

Its almost as if my Borders (which is in very liberal Lawrence, KS) was trying to say, "Here's this book about how the GOP is hijacking religion, and here next to it we have an example of a wingnut doing just that"
