The publication of Scott McClellan's Bush-whacking memoir created a real stir this week at Propeller. But so did gas prices, the Iranian nuclear program, and the death of Academy Award winner Sydney Pollack.

      Yeah.. That's what we heard from our teachers when they gave us an A.

      As for any kudos for "itsy bitsy", forget it! That would have been expulsion!

      So, nice that levity ranks as a plus here.

      If it had been condemned I was ready to tell on Shadowolf who really started it..

      Nice one James, but I think more emphasis should've been more focused on the bikini thread for some reason.

        That might have lost us our PG-13 rating, BB.

      Good coverage for the week in review! I am writing a letter to Amtrak, about those new train stations, like they use to have across America.

      The proceeds from the book needs to go to Propeller!

      Thanks James Marcus!

        The shocker of the week for me goes to Scott. Maybe one gets a conscience after leaving Washington. There's a story to chase...

          wow, it really took guts to speak up about the wrong-doings 5 years after it mattered and we all knew about it.

            On the Washington Post blog, iamamerican wrote, "have yet to do a "James Hatfield" on McClellan, suggests this book is "authorized" as inoculation to prevent a full-blown impeachment and treason trial..." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/ar... See page 9. I could do without some of iamamerican's more bizarre ideas, but I agree with him about McClellan's book.

            This was the first time I heard of James Hatfield, and now I know what happens to a writer who exposes the Bush syndicate. See "The Death of Jim Hatfield." http://www.davidcogswell.com/Essays/DeathHatfie...

                You bet, STONERS. And thanks for keeping us updated on gas prices--we can all look back nostalgically at your comment in a year or so, when we're paying $19 a gallon and they've removed the free squeegee and paper towels to save money.
