New Book

If you want to scare yourself shitless about how much the Executive Branch of the government has expanded its authority and stolen power from Congress and the Judiciary, but also make yourself aware of the disturbing agenda of Dick Cheney and it's roots, I suggest reading Takeover by Charlie Savage. It's an excellent read that makes you feel quite good about the fact that Cheney is now in a wheelchair. Evil, sadistic bastard you might call me...until you read this book.

It's also an excellent read about how, over the past few decades, the presidency has continually robbed Americans of their civil liberties and protections against the government. Yes, this includes the Clinton Administration. Scary stuff.
