&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;You might want to look at a book by Elizabeth de la Vega, a former federal prosecutor who’s written “United States v. George W. Bush et. al.”  It’s a hypothetical grand jury trial presenting the case for Bush having defrauded Congress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wasn’t there already a Book Salon with her a couple of months back?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Any chance we can get Al Gore after the release of “An Assault on Reason”?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I haven’t read the thread, so I may be late in suggesting this.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-677357&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Impeachment Happens @ 74&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think this list is sorely lacking in humor.  Might I suggest Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman’s new book, due out in the spring called HOW TO PROFIT FROM THE COMING RAPTURE:  Getting Ahead When You’re Left Behind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That reminds me of one of my favorite bumper stickers: “Come the Rapture, can I have your car?”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Coming back well into EPU zone (morning after, as it were) — agree entirely upon Margaret Atwood.  Female authors are underrepresented so far, and given the recent SCOTUS decision, there should be a stronger emphasis on the importance of women’s perspective in politics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d like to suggest a few authors and books:&lt;br /&gt;
– Barbara Kinsolver and her recent book, “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle”;&lt;br /&gt;
– Anne Lamott and her book, “Grace (Eventually)”, as well as her other books on faith, life and writing;&lt;br /&gt;
– Alex Steffen (or perhaps the author of the forward for this book, Al Gore, or the author of the intro, Bruce Sterling) and “Worldchanging”.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.””&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;President Jefferson&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only good nazi, is a dead one.  Fascist either wrapped in a flag or dressed in a religious robe are subtle at first, till power is consolidated, and then the meek are to weak to stand up and fight.  Ask the Jews of Germany who where unable to defend themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
Fact:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Nazi Germany’s style of “gun control” removed the last barrier to the genocide of 13 million people–over 6 million were Jewish–just 50 years ago. It was called “The Final Solution”. Disarming citizens was key in the success of this misguided political scheme.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Until 1943-44, the German government published its laws and regulations in the ‘Reichsgesetzblatt,’ roughly the equivalent of the U.S. Federal Register. Carefully shelved by law librarians, the 1938 issues of this German government publication had gathered a lot of dust. In the ‘Reichsgesetzblatt’ issue for the week of March 21, 1938, was the official text of the Weapons Law (March 18, 1938). It gave Hitler’s Nazi party a stranglehold on the Germans, many of whom did not support the Nazis. We found that the Nazis did not invent “gun control” in Germany. The Nazis inherited gun control and then perfected it: they invented handgun control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Nazi Weapons Law of 1938 replaced a Law on Firearms and Ammunition of April 13, 1928. The 1928 law was enacted by a center-right, freely elected German government that wanted to curb “gang activity,” violent street fights between Nazi party and Communist party thugs. All firearm owners and their firearms had to be registered. Sound familiar? “Gun control” did not save democracy in Germany. It helped to make sure that the toughest criminals, the Nazis, prevailed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Nazis inherited lists of firearm owners and their firearms when they ‘lawfully’ took over in March 1933. The Nazis used these inherited registration lists to seize privately held firearms from persons who were not “reliable.” Knowing exactly who owned which firearms, the Nazis had only to revoke the annual ownership permits or decline to renew them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 1938, five years after taking power, the Nazis enhanced the 1928 law. The Nazi Weapons Law introduced handgun control. Firearms ownership was restricted to Nazi party members and other “reliable” people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 1938 Nazi law barred Jews from businesses involving firearms. On November 10. 1938 — one day after the Nazi party terror squads (the SS) savaged thousands of Jews, synagogues and Jewish businesses throughout Germany — new regulations under the Weapons Law specifically barred Jews from owning any weapons, even clubs or knives. &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Already read this book. It’s spot on, and amazingly accurate. It’s everything wrong in this country, summed up nicely. Ignore it at your own peril, fiends.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Have you read  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Balzac-Little-Chinese-Seamstress-Novel/dp/0385722206&quot;&gt;Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
Two teenage boys got sent to a “re-education camp” in China in the early 70s, as I recall. They fall in love with the same girl…I loved that book.&lt;br /&gt;
And &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/104-3632754-6273511?url=search-alias=stripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Reading Lolita in Tehran&amp;Go.x=0&amp;Go.y=0&amp;Go=Go&quot;&gt;“Reading Lolita in Tehran”&lt;/a&gt; by Azar Nafisi.
