Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

The outrageous $2.77 trillion budget the President proposed to
Congress on Monday was a good snapshot of this president's priorities.
It vastly favors the rich with more tax cuts and abatements while
cutting Department of Education funding by $2.1 billion and freezing
Pell grants for the fifth straight year, among myriad other outrages.

It was legislation like this that propelled the huge success of Jack
Huberman's celebrated Bush-Hater's Handbook. Now, Huberman is back
with the book that he hoped he would never have to write. But after
the November election results, he reacted to the calamitous results by
writing a new, indispensable guide for concerned citizens everywhere.
Zipping from A through Z, Huberman's Bushit, recently released by
Nation Books, explores with vitriol and humor the lows of Bush 2004.
>From the cynical manipulation by the Christian right of the Terry
Schiavo tragedy to the alarming rise of the moral values mantra, from
the corruption of DeLay to the mean-spiritedness of the bankruptcy
bill, from corporate malfeasance to Martha Stewart, Deficit Attention
Disorder to Creationism, Bushit catalogues the outrages and scandals
of an Administration that appears unwilling to learn from the mistakes
and deceits of its first term.
