I handed the book to my husband, who is a huge reader, and he looked up at
me and said, "You want me to read a phone book??". It *is* a tad intimidating.

It's odd that the conservative bloggers were able to bring doubt on Dan
Rather and the
National Guard documents, but in the end, that's all there was: doubt.
But in the case of Bush, there's massive amounts of irrefutable evidence on
9.11, Iraq, oil,
the environment, and many other disasters, yet he continues to gain in the
polls. Many
people simply don't care about the facts, no matter how damning. In that
matter, the web
hasn't been successful as an information resource.
Maybe it's like the Savings and Loan scandals under Reagan; the story was
too big, too
complex. Bush supporters have generally a poor education; they can
understand stories about
kittens in trees and so on, but massive corporate fraud? It's too much.
