Armed Madhouse: Whos Afraid of Osama Wolf?, China Floats, Bush Sinks, The Scheme to Steal 08,No Childs Behind Left, and Other Dispatches from the FrontLines of the: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Armed Madhouse: Whos Afraid of Osama Wolf?, China Floats, Bush Sinks, The Scheme to Steal 08,No Childs Behind Left, and Other Dispatches from the FrontLines of the" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The top journalist in America and the funniest (Randi Rhodes, Air America), takes his previous New York Times bestseller a step further with hot undercover dispatches hanging out the dirty underpants of the armed and dangerous clowns that rule us. A White House spokesman said, We hate that sonovabitch. Theyre not alone: From corporate suites to Osamas cave, they fear what Britains Guardian calls investigations up there with Woodward and Bernsteinand a lot funnier. But Greg Palasts fanatic following (nearly two million readers of his Web column) has made him a cult fave among progressives (Village Voice) who cant wait for his next release. Palasts old-style gum-shoe detective work to dig out the info on the War on Terror, greed- dripping schemes to seize little nations with lots of oil, the hidden program to steal the 2008 election, and the media biases that keep it unreported are the meat and bones of this BBC television reporters new book. Armed Madhouse is illustrated with dozens of documents marked secret and confidential that have walked out of file cabinets and fallen into Palasts hands. You wont find Palast in The New York Times (except its bestseller list), but you will read his reports on the hottest Web sites worldwide, hear him regularly on Air America and the Pacifica radio networks, and see his stories reappearing as the basis for Eminems hit video Mosh, Michael Moores Fahrenheit 9/11, and sampled by a dozen of todays top platinum rock artists. BACKCOVER: The greatest investigative journalist in America. ALAN CHARTOCK, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO The type of investigative reporter you dont see anymorea cross between Sam Spade and Sherlock Holmes. JIM HIGHTOWER Courageous reporting. MICHAEL MOORE Upsets all the right people! NOAM CHOMSKY

About the Author

ARMED MADHOUSE
THE BEGINNING

Like the Cowardly Dog He Was

President Jeb Bush declared his reelection victory early in August before the - photo 3

President Jeb Bush declared his reelection victory early, in August, before the machines were fully programmed, but the results were nevertheless assured. President Jeb accepted a call from Hillary Kerry Gorethe virtual candidate, put up as quadrennial opponent, designed to losewho always made the same moving concession speech, American democracy has triumphed again, written for her by Karl Rove. The official voting wont take place until November.

Our nation, Vice-President Kate Harris assures us, is safer and more prosperous than at any time in our history.

But there are dissenters from this happy new Americashivering in their basements: Michaelites with their icons of St. Moore. The film-director/holy man was martyred when, through a rapid expansion caused by self-righteousness and fried food, he simply exploded onstage at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, a fitting end given his final film, I Hate the Bushes So Much I Could Explode!

There are few complaints, certainly none expressed openly after the Health Insurance Riots of 2009 when the last licensed union members were removed to Guantnamo. Orange Suit City is now Americas eighth largest metropolis, safer and more prosperous than ever.

Still, every morning, the Rio Grande chokes with swarms of obese, illiterate Texans wading across to their 70-cents-an-hour jobs in the maquiladoras of Jurez.

Now, more than ever, America is the Lords land. Wal-Mart super-mega stores have metastasized into monumental Retail Cathedrals where true believers in cheap and disposable appliances come to pray and pay.

And we are well entertained. We have 11,000 TV channels, with every program chosen personally by Rupert Murdochs brain, now wired up in a pickle jar on the desk of Fox network president Roger Ailes. Tonight, Bill Clinton launches his fourth autobiographywith even more whoppers than the last three: I was born in a log cabin mobile homeI did not sleep with that woman Hillary!
