The Invisible Woman

Title: “Spoken from the Heart”

Author: Laura Bush

Rank: 5

Blurb: “With deft humor and a sharp eye, Laura Bush lifts the curtain on what really happens inside the White House, from presidential finances to the 175-year-old tradition of separate bedrooms for presidents and their wives to the antics of some White House guests and even a few members of Congress.”

Review: “And those little trollops. Getting drunk all the time, probably having with sex with who knows and sticking out there dirty little tongues. They all make me sick to my stomach!!!”

The President of Our Dreams

Title: “The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists”

Authors: Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott

Rank: 11

Blurb: “The book uncovers a far-leftist, anti-American nexus that has been instrumental in not only helping build Obama’s political career but in securing his presidency.”

Review: “After reading, ‘The Manchurian President’, you may still wonder how America could have possibly elected BHO, but you won’t wonder why he acts like a marxist through his public policy. The truth is, he’s been around marxism and socialism his entire life, and his policy reflects this stunning truth.”

Customers Also Bought: “Edge of Apocalypse”, by Tim LaHaye

Footnote: The president wingnuts complain about sounds a lot better than the one we have.

The Graduates

Title: “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”

Author: Dr. Seuss

Rank: 56

Blurb: “You can get all hung up / in a prickle-ly perch. / And your gang will fly on. / You’ll be left in a Lurch.”

Review: “I cringe every time my son (4yrs old) has me read him this book. I hate it. The basic premise — if you don’t like where you are, get up and leave it all behind for great adventure, and when that doesn’t work out, you’ll have to figure it all out for yourself and then you’ll be back at it, unless that doesn’t work out… etc. The premise is not only flawed, it runs counter to everything I’d like him to learn: that he is surrounded by love and the support of his family and friends, and that when the going gets tough he shouldn’t just leave town; he should learn to value trusted relationships to help him overcome challenges. The book has no sense of family, love, or other type of support, and while it does say ‘kid, you’ll move mountains’ it forgets to say ‘kid, you’re well-grounded and loved’ and that is a fatal error by Seuss. Also, the language (complex — ‘dexterous and deft’) is not suitable for young readers.”

Customers Also Bought: “The Piercing Bible: The Definitive Guide to Safe Body Piercing”

Footnote: Seems early for Graduation Season, doesn’t it? Then again, Obama gave a commencement speech Saturday, so what do we know.

Matt Damon Not Included

Title: “The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee”

Author: Sarah Silverman

Rank: 67

Blurb: “When I was asked to provide text for an author page, I decided to approach it in a scholarly manner, because that’s what authors do. I looked to other author pages for inspiration, and I learned so much. For example, while Hemingway and Dostoevsky do not have their own author pages on Amazon.com, Paris Hilton does. And so does former teenage porn star and multi-tasking fellatrix, Traci Lords. Hemingway and Dostoevsky might be wondering, quite literally, ‘Whom do I have to blow to get my own author page?’ If someone had a cruel sense of humor, they might respond to Hemingway, ‘How about your head off? Oh wait — you already DID that!’ But such a remark would be in bad taste, and as a serious author, I’m above all that.”

Review: “It’s the e-mails between her and her editor that show the truth of the old adage that comedy is tragedy plus time.”

Customers Also Bought: “American Idiot”

Footnote: It’s just nice to see something in the Amazon Top 100 that isn’t a cookbook, a wingnut rant, a Twilight sequel, or Sookie Stackhouse.

You Can Have It Back When We’re Done With It

Title: “2010: Take Back America: A Battle Plan”

Authors: Dick Morris and Eileen McGann

Rank: 40

Blurb: “We stand at the crossroads of ideals and policies: freedom versus socialism; sovereignty versus international subservience; economic liberty versus debt slavery; quality medical care versus government-sponsored euthanasia; and private property versus confiscatory taxation.”

Review: “My husband and I have worked very hard for the past 40 years. We have been good stewards of our money. Please tell me why we should be taxed at the highest rate in order to support those unwilling to work or those who entered this country illeagly?”

God & Country

Title: “Original Intent: The Courts, the Constitution, & Religion”

Author: David Barton

Rank: 10

Blurb: “David Barton is founder and president of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization which distributes historical, legal, and statistical information, and helps citizens become active in their local schools and communities. He was appointed by the Texas State Board of Education and the California Academic Standards Commission to review their History/Social Studies standards.”

Review: “The first clue that Mr. Barton is telling the truth is the torrent of scathing reviews from the Secularists.”

Customers Also Bought: “The Question of Freemasonry and the Founding Fathers,” by David Barton

Footnote: 103 reviews, only three mentions of deism.

Father Swears Best

Title: “Sh*t My Dad Says”

Author: Justin Halpern

Rank: 63

Blurb: Nothing worth mentioning, so just head straight for the Twitter feed. Unlike the book, it doesn’t hide behind an asterisk.

Review: None yet — the book’s not published until May 4. And while we wish Sandy Eggo’s Justin only the best, he’ll understand if we withhold judgment on the CBS pilot starring William Shatner. Especially since Danny DeVito’s been nailing that part for years.

Customers Also Bought: “Lodge Logic 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet”

Footnote: “Your mom just ordered 35 copies of your book. I’m not paying for One. Fucking. Copy. Mine’s free.”
