In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder Bugliosi presents a tight legal case against President Bush as being criminally responsible for the deaths of more than 4,000 American soldiers in Iraq. In a searing indictment of the President and his administration, he sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence to put George W. Bush on trial for murder in an American courtroom for taking this nation to war under false pretences. In his groundbreaking book, Bugliosi also has outlined a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions while in office. The book was published on May 27, 2008, by Vanguard Press, a member of the Perseus Book Group. The mainstream media has black listed this book in the U.S. and the book became a NY Times bestseller without one single review. The feature film adaptation of the book, presently entitled MAD AS HELL (working titles), is presently being edited and we are hopeful it will be distributed in theatres October.

Here Bugliosi describes the media blackout of his book:

According to his site, Craig used to be a waiter in downtown Chicago. He says,

I started a video blog in late May 2007 out of frustration with a job that barely paid the rent and didn’t involve any of my creative skills. It was originally going to be a blog about the trials and tribulations of the dining experience, from the point of view of both waiters and customers. It became a showcase for my own brand of absurd humor which occasionally includes dining subject matter.

Craig is also in the band Driftless Pony Club which has released such classics as “Inertia is a Bitch“. Fresh Cut hearts you Craig!

Can we trace the chain of events that leads to our own birth? Is our existence just coincidence? Do little things matter? The narrator of The Danish Poet considers these questions as we follow Kasper, a poet whose creative well has run dry, on a holiday to Norway to meet the famous writer, Sigrid Undset. As Kasper’s quest for inspiration unfolds, it appears that a spell of bad weather, an angry dog, slippery barn planks, a careless postman, hungry goats and other seemingly unrelated factors might play important roles in the big scheme of things after all.

And if you haven’t read Sigrid Undset’s epic novel Kristin Lavransdatter, you MUST.

The Daily Show made fun of it a little while ago:

I have to agree with The Founder over at the Tribble Ad Agency who says,

This is the worst, the absolute worst TV ad the world has ever seen. So freaking wrong to do this.. It’s an insult to Obama.. I want to know who their Advertising Agency….. feel free to contact Kia and give them your thoughts on this ad.

Bert Parks sings Let ‘Em In during the 1976 Miss America telecast with male background dancers. I agree with You Tube commenter monkzenone who said, “Can’t you just hear the director : “Uh…Mr. parks…can you make it more like a gay whiteface minstrel number?” Warning: If you watch this video just once you may not get the song out of your head for a week.

This weekend, in an effort to get out the message that dads play a critical role in their children’s lives, the Ad Council, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families, Office of Family Assistance and the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse have all joined forces to release PSA’s online.

Created pro bono by Campbell-Ewald, the new PSAs emphasize to fathers that “the smallest moments can have the biggest impact on a child’s life.” The PSAs conclude with the tagline, “Take time to be a dad today” and direct fathers to visit www.fatherhood.gov or call 1-877-4DAD411 for parenting tips and additional resources for fathers.

DID YOU KNOW:
• An estimated 24 million children (34%) live absent their biological father.
• Nearly 20 million children (27 percent) live in single-parent homes.
• Children who live absent their biological fathers are, on average, at least two to three times more likely to be poor, to use drugs, to experience educational, health, emotional and behavioral problems, to be victims of child abuse, and to engage in criminal behavior than their peers who live with their married, biological (or adoptive) parents.
• Children with involved, loving fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, exhibit empathy and pro-social behavior, and avoid high-risk behaviors such as drug use, truancy, and criminal activity compared to children who have uninvolved fathers.
