Who's this wk.'s corporate sell-out & "Featured Guest?"
Jesus Hussein Christ, did they have a "guest Shortlist" featuring the loser* as well, just to have all bases covered? (Of course, both recent candidates have book scams going. There's naked greed & self-interest involved here as well as shilling for the corporate media monolith.) *That would be footnote-in-history John Sidney McCain III, who lost!! P. S.: We assume that the descriptions of the books, DVD & CD, are from the lying typing fingers of Borders or publishers. The questions to ask are if B. O. selected these items himself, was the whole sordid thing turned over to a flunky, or did someone give the Sen. a list from which to choose? Another question would be "Who cares, really?"Featured Guest: Barack Obama 1. Gilead by Marilynne Robinson A lyrical and profoundly moving meditation on faith, friendship, and parenthood. 2. Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin A truly fascinating look at Lincoln as a political strategist. 3. The Boys of Baraka A haunting documentary about inner-city youth who are lifted out of a destructive environment and given the opportunity to attend boarding school in Africa. 4. Forgetfulness by Ward Just From one of the most astute observers of Washington and the intersection of politics and passion, a gripping novel about the War on Terror's effect on individual lives. 5. Kulanjan by Taj Mahal and Toumani Diabate A beautiful melding of traditional blues and music from Mali by two great masters.
