Title: “Dubs Goes to Washington: And Discovers the Greatness of America”

Authors: Dick Morris, Eileen McGann, Clayton J. Liotta

Rank: 8

Blurb: “Dubs Goes to Washington… and Discovers the Greatness of America is a book that teaches young children their first patriotic lessons. The star of the book is Dubs, our adorable golden retriever. Dubs has lost his beloved tennis ball in Washington, D.C. Your kids and grandkids — and, in fact, all kids from 4-8 — will love helping Dubs find it — and, in the process, will discover what makes America such an exceptional nation.”

Review: “Buying this book for your children is tantamount to child abuse.”

Mic Check! Im Drew from internet. We would like to propose tonight the purchase of occupywallstreet.net for the use of all of us. It is time sensitive because the person who owns it desperately wants to sell it and will sell it to anybody but we have put a stop on that for the day. I realize that this is a weird situation, but we would rather that you own it than say the Koch brotherss. The amount is $8,000. Just so everyone knows, we are about to take a temp check, not on the proposal, but on having it being addressed now based on the time situation.

Correction of the Day, from wingnut Pajamas Media: “A previous version of this story mentioned that a source witnessed Cain[!] and the woman entering a taxi together. This was incorrect. The previous version also mentioned that the woman awoke in Cain[!]’s bed — the source only claimed that the woman awoke in Cain[!]’s apartment. The previous version incorrectly attributed comments from one source to the other source.” [via Weigel]
