Inspiring recent book titles

Two new books are out Greedy Bastards Dylan Ratigan. And Throw Them All Out by Peter Swiezer. You can read first chapter of the latter book if you can go to amazon.

I read the preview of Throw Them All Out which is a shortened version of what I wrote back when “Throw the bums out.” And it has gotten lots of traction.

Then there’s my phrase “greedy bastards” that I used in a post back in February.  We can say stuff like that but most folks on TV the pundit class usually don’t say greedy bastards.  Speaking of same Gingrich said “baloney” when you know he wanted to say “Bullshit” when someone attacked one of his positions.

Rob Lowe’s New Book “Stories I only Tell My Friends”

Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography (See all Memoirs)

Many of the Jewish women who asked me about the Brat Pack were hoping that Rob Lowe, now 44, was Jewish. Lowe was the most physically beautiful of all the Brat Pack actors--male or female. (Demi Moore came close--but she has reportedly had cosmetic surgery.) Lowe is often a Jewish name and if he were Jewish--well, I guess he would have been the hottest male Jewish movie star since Tony Curtis.

 

It was my sad duty to tell my readers that Lowe isn’t Jewish. He was born and raised an Episcopalian in Ohio. However, because of the reader interest in Lowe, I always kept an eye on Lowe’s career and I’ve come to admire his ability to maintain a fairly successful acting career over two decades, in spite of a major sex scandal in 1988.

Ayers’ Ears

Bill Ayers is talking this Sunday. He will be on CSPAN Sunday at noon and again on Monday. I think. Check your local listings. According to the ad I saw on DailyKos he is taking calls too. Ayers is listening. Did he listen and write for Obama as Jack Cashill claims?

Jack Cashill writes that Ayers wrote Dreams For My Father. He makes some good points about the uniquie metaphors used in that book, unique to Ayers but not to Obama, go figure.
