Mike's Election Guide 200855 reviews
Michael Moore

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

Excellent Overview
Michael Moore's Election Guide 2008 is entertaining, thoughtful, and at times, enough to make one laugh out loud. Typical of Moore's delightful abilities (depending on one's political proclivities, I suppose) are sidesplitting anecdotes both historical and hysterical, as well as flights of fancy that are unforgettable. Included, for those of us who tend toward the regional and just the "main ...

The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values25 reviews
Brad O'Leary

WND Books, 2008

the only way to find out, the liberal bias media sure wont tell you.
why would any body who pays taxes, has investments, runs a small business, and believes in the sanctity of human life ever consider voting for this meglomaniac, easy, when you focus on american idol style programming, oprah, and the major news networks. why would you even bother to find out what this man stands for after youve been propagandized by said media.this book points out rather ...

The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder212 reviews
Vincent Bugliosi

Vanguard Press, 2008

A must read
This book should be read by ALL Americans. It's a real eye opener. The time line is excellent. ALL Congressmen and Representatives should be forced to read it. But if you put the book on their desk it would be lost in the bribe money. 		  
  







  
  
What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception189 reviews
Scott McClellan

PublicAffairs, 2008

McClellan
I found this book to be well written and engaging. I finished it with a heightened respect for McClellan and a lurking question of who he will vote for in 2008. McClellan came to Washington with a great deal of respect for Bush and trust in his ability to transform Washington. However, his disillusion with the administration finally reached its zenith beginning with the Plame/Wilson ...

True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership (J-B Warren Bennis Series)35 reviews
Bill George

Jossey-Bass, 2007

the need for authenticity
"True North"- Discover your authentic leadership"- the mere title grabbed me . Perhaps there is an inherent desire for people to be truthful and to seek true direction. The book has an appeal for everyone. Everyone is in some way a leader. This book is most assuredly one for anyone. During a recent hospitalization my surgeon told me the title of the book he was reading .He said it was ... 		  
  







  
  
Winning198 reviews
Jack Welch, Suzy Welch

Collins Business, 2005

"Calling it like it is"
Do you have the courage to "call it like it is"? So many businesses, and managers struggle with this concept. Often, it seems so much easier to simply gloss over the real issue, managers want to be "liked", have friends and staff that look up to them as leaders they like and that means often not saying what needs to be said, or doing what is difficult. Jack Welch gives it to the reader "like ... 		  
  







  
  
Bumping Into Geniuses: My Life Inside the Rock and Roll Business1 review
Danny Goldberg

Gotham, 2008

It's Only Rock'n Roll (But Here's Why We Like It)
There are at least three reasons why only Danny Goldberg could have written this book about the rock music business of the last four or so decades. First, he's held a front row seat and worn more hats--reporter, publicist, manager, record company executive and political activist---during all of those years than just about anyone else around. His astute insights coming out each of these chapters ...

McCain's Promise: Aboard the Straight Talk Express with John McCain and a Whole Bunch of Actual Reporters, ...4 reviews
David Foster Wallace

Back Bay Books, 2008

Important to know the context of this book was 2000, not 2008
Given DFW's recent tragic death (and the election timing of this re-release), I'd imagine alot of folks may now discover this book. What Wallace wanted current readers understand about the context, he told the Wall Street Journal in an interview from June 2008. Here's the excerpt: "The essay quite specifically concerns a couple weeks in February, 2000, and the situation of both McCain [and] ...

Once you are smart, driven and knowledgeable about the intricasies of an opportunity, Wyly, in his story ...

Doubleday Business, 2005

I LOVE that book!
This is an amazing book that has done many things for me with the two most important: given me lots of ideas about marketing my business and validating personal ideas and business practices that I had. I also very much enjoyed reading this book: it's full of examples of people that I have hear of and can identify with, it's well written with few "repeats" and best of all, it almost reads like ...
