List some good anti-Wal*Mart tomes
I've heard of Nickled and Dimed. What are some other good books. I need to know exactly why I am boycotting Wal*Mart so I can ask my mother not to shop there if she ever gets something for me. I've let her get away with it a couple of times lately. I know WM doesn't pay a living wage, discriminates against women and sells shoddy stuff made in China. I need to know more specifics so I can explain exactly why I don't want anything from that particular chain of stores.

Sigh...living around bushbots is a chore.

2. I'll bet you are.
I COULD NOT finish David Brock's book, Blinded by the Righ, because I got so intensely emotiona. Most of it was seething anger: at what had been done and at how I had been manipulated by the media.

Gimme a Dean Scream: YEEEEAAAAAGGGHHH!
