Guerrilla warfare against the new swift boat book. One small step!
After tripping across an interview with mister swift boat Corsi last night I've had a hard time containing the anger and disgust that his representation of humanity brought out in me. I couldn't decide whether to be more sickened by: the pudgy little pig-like snorting and false indignation he wallowed in, his pink shallow face, the fact that he was even being given air time, his ability to play "1st on the NYT Bestseller list author" enabled by mass purchases prearranged by his fellow conservative litter mates or the outright evilness, corruptness and manipulations he is playing as truths.

Anyways ... I couldn't shake these feelings or stop singing the Beatles "Piggies" all morning.

While wandering through Walmarts today (I know, I know, I know) and still singing and being disgusted I decided to take a peek at the book section. Sure enough, there at eye level was not one stack but two stacks of Corsi's "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality".

I controlled the urge of taking a big fat marker out of my purse and writing "Read at your own risk" or "If you want facts and not garbage go to www.barackobama.com" or "I know you have more brains then to believe this remnant of cockroach world's words" but I couldn't force myself to just walk away! I stood there feeling helpless and furious until I looked down at the bottom shelf where Scott McClellan's book sat AND Ron Suskind's The Way of The World was there too! After a bit of creative merchandising his swiftboatness's books had been reassigned to a more ... appropriate spot and the new eye level featured books were McClellan's and Suskind's!

If each of us tried to help poor ol' Walmart's out whenever we were in the area we might even be able to save a soul from becomming injected with the poison within those pages.

In any event ... I feel better!

2. bleeding blue on KOS had another great idea.
"Make custom book marks directing a reader to snopes.com, debunking some of the more outrageous claims. Just slip it in there for later discovery."

6. Now on the bottom shelf at my walmart
Back row and covered with other books. I'll check back today to make sure still there. Couldn't spot McClennan's or Suskind's books, but I didn't have much time.
