Must Read

John K. Wilson's new book The Most Dangerous Man in America: Rush Limbaugh's Assault on Reason. I realize I previously recommended the book but it is now available. On the publisher's web site, there is a excerpt on Limbaugh's virulent racism. As far as I know this is the first book that cites something I was the first to report on in 2003: Limbaugh repulsive parody in which he portrayed then-presidential candidate Carol Moseley-Braun as the Prissy character, a slave from Gone with the Wind exclaiming, "I don't know nothin' about runnin' for no president!"

Run Newt, Run!
I think Newt Gingrich should run for the presidency in 2012 for the following reasons:
1. He has no chance of winning and if he were in the GOP field, it is possible that a progressive Operation Chaos could give him the Republican nomination (leading to a Democratic landslide in the general election).
2. Since Gingrich has made noise about running, I'm receiving a lot of hits for my post of the transcript of my discussion of Gingrich's philandering on Sean Hannity's radio show. Just today someone accessed the post based on a Google search of "Callista Bisek naked nude" (Bisek is Wife Number Three for Gingrich).

So keep the presidential dreams alive, Newt (and keep the hits coming).

UPDATE: Media Matters for America has a post on Gingrich as Fox News commentator.

New Jack T. Chick Tracts and Videos!
Jack Chick has a new tract, "You Have a Date!" It's the same as Chick's bestselling tract "This Was Your Life" except that the protagonist is female (and in the afterlife scenes she isn't naked).

The Chickster also has some funky YouTube versions of two of his tracts: "The Sissy" and "Tiny Shoes"

Pinch Me, I Must be Dreaming: Jon Orszag Just Invited me to Shell Out Big Bucks to See Bill Clinton in LA

I just got an invitation from Jon Orszag to appear at an event in Hollywood at which Bill Clinton will be appearing. Here's a post about the last time Orszag sent me an invitation to a Clinton event. I wonder why I'm still on the mailing list.
