John Dean's book might be good. He is on Keith Olbermann a lot.
Larry..all of his books are good, my favorite is still "Worse than Watergate"
Mindful Politics~ A Buddhist Guide to Making the World a Better Place.
In true Zen style, It is not partisan, and does not address specifics of political systems per se, more of a seeking & finding of Humanity in the process.
With chapters titled:
Gross National Happiness
The Art of Less War
No Color All Colors
Beyond Us & Them
I am going to go to a Womans Activist group discussing Hillary tonight. I'd like to put my finger on the pulse of the Feminist Community & their take on Hill.
Fran:
Thank you for the great suggestion for reading...and I wish you the best at your meeting tonight..please keep us posted...
I'm reading "Guns, Germs & Steel" by Jared Diamond. It will supposedly tell me why human societies have followed such widely divergent pathways of development. So far, it's an ambitious attempt at explaining the last 13,000 yrs of human history. The same author wrote "The Third Chimpanzee" about the human animal. After a science fiction summer, I felt I needed some reality.
I'm reading Thomas Paine's Common Sense. Someone recently donated a beautifully bound copy to the library.
And Enigma, always.
I hardly ever have time to read anymore, but I am totally going to read Colbert's book.
i would definitely like to get the carter and dean books- i still haven't read my copy of mindful politics or al gore's book- or the 6 others or so i have waiting for me. i ran out of heart. enigma honey- you read some for me :)
The Zening Of Dubya by myself is a good read if you enjoy satire.
It's my attempt to rehabilitate George by teaching him introspection through meditation.
Click the link to check it out.

Thank you for the debate. Most enjoyable. I will look for the books when they come to the local thrift shop. Until then I still have to finish my Solzhenitsyn between the other fun stuff I pick up for a dollar.
Ohhh Cartedge...that is something I have not read in sooo long- thank you...and everyone else...wonderful......
Thank you all for the wonderul book list...now I will have more to add to our pile and much happy winter reading....besides reading the blogs ;-)
well, last but not least - it's a book i'm reading now - called 'the black swan'...it's helping me deal with abandonment issues from the past and present...
i have to tell you again how much i love your musical interludes - this video about Greenpeace was amazing...ahhh - they are all so brave...true courage in this day and age...they actually get out there and do something..and some pay for it with their lives...sigh peace my friend
ps.. hope the cold gets better...
