New Book: " Young Dick Cheney: Great American"
.
.
.
I got an e-mail from AlertNet, the following is from that email:


Last November, two guys showed up at AlterNet's doorstep carrying the manuscript for a book. It was called Young Dick Cheney: Great American; and although it had been written to satirize classic children's biographies, this book was clearly intended for grown-ups. Politically minded, frustrated, angry grown-ups tired from eight years of banging their heads against the wall and desperate for a good laugh.



Well, we gave the book a read, and we did laugh. A lot.



Bruce Kluger and David Slavin, the authors of this irreverent boyhood memoir, are no strangers to satire. Regular contributors to National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," their humor has appeared everywhere from the L.A. Times and The New York Times to Salon and Huffington and AlterNet.



/snip/

Join AlterNet Books as we celebrate this historic(ally awful) administration by giving it a swift kick out the door.

Happy Dick Hunting.

Executive Editor, AlterNet.org
