Hello,

Just want to briefly plug a new book I was fortunate
enough to work on this past winter: The Bush Dyslexicon,
by Mark Crispin Miller.

Although the thought of reading a book about George W. Bush
is about as appealing as eating chalk, you should make an
exception for this.

Reading Mark Miller is always a humbling experience...he can
tease out meaning from the most unlikely of sources--in this
case, the stump speeches, interviews, and offhand comments
of George W. Bush--and allow you to seen them in a whole
new light. If you have read _Boxed In_ or the essay
Miller contributed to _Watching Television_, "Deride and Conquer"
(Todd Gitlin, ed.), then you know what I'm talking about..

...and if not, you can read this excerpt:
http://metalab.unc.edu/stayfree/BushDysl.doc
It's a fairly representative sample, consisting of Bush's own words,
punctuated by Miller's commentary.
