Alice (Wonderland) See all my reviews |
Finally! A book that proves the existence of an alternate universe. Obviously, a rip in the space/time continuum between this universe and the other universe where Bush is presiding over a 'boom economy' opened up and this book fell through. Can there be ANY other explanation?

Best of all, its only 1 cent at Amazon.
This book is of great interest to Theoristical Physicists, especially those that studty string theory...

I'm reserving a spot on my bookshelf for this one, right next to "Dow 36,000".

Wow! A two-fer! Jerry Bowyer the author with a foreward by Mr. Goldilocks.
No wonder Larry always has Jerry on his show.
I wonder how well the content holds up to the "how to lie with statistics" Bible?

No need for the publisher to withdraw any books from the shelves -- just flip them upside down and the arrows will point in the right direction.
After all, it all depends on your definition of the word "boom".

At $.01 it is way overpriced!

I am sure Bush will author some during his retirement as well. You may want to spare some shelves for those too.
"Conversations with God: An uncommon monologue"
"George W: Straight from the arse"
" Who Moved My Brain? An Amazing Way to Deal with Reality in Your Work and in Your Life"
"Fair to Awful: Why Some Governments Make Wars... and Others Don't"

priceless! (well, almost...)

When I visit the link, "customers who bought this item ["The Bush Boom"] also bought" "The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression".
What a pairing that is.

I thought we'd already collectively determined that "Bush Boom" is an oxymoron.
Boom as in oxy and Bush as in ...

Absolutely a bargain...I bet it doubles in value in only 50 years!

Our economy is like a country exhausted of natural resources. All the tricks of cheap money & consumer debt, to prop our economy up are spent.
I hate sounding so negative about my own country, but our economy is sick, and the unfortunate medicine is a nasty recession ... unlike anything most of us have ever seen.

Did anyone else notice the increasing resemblance between Bush and Alfred e. Newman? This might be funny if it wasn't for the fact that he has detroyed the US economy, thrown away the Geneva convention and destroyed long fought for civil liberties. Bush I mean.

Is this book found under fiction or comedy?

I didn't read all of the reviews but my favorite, so far:

"Anyone who thinks that we are in a "boom" is delusional. Read this book if you have no sense of reality. It will confirm your hallucinations."

And Hillary Clinton got caught telling the truth the other day.
No really, I'm serious, Paul Krugman caught her.
Econolicious

Robert,
"priceless! (well, almost...)"
was a killer. lol, lol, thank you

The Bush boom is real.
I made my fortune investing in assets that rise in price with ginourmous amounts of fiat money printing.
And then paid 15% tax.
Good luck on a repeat with McObamatin.

Looks like "The Bush Boom" it blew up in the author's face.
Pundits and the propaganda hacks they push are the least credible people in America.

It's 'Boom' as in explosion

Jerry Bowyer is living proof that Aliens exist.

A penny? On a page per sheet basis, wouldn't that make a copy cheaper than a role of toilet paper? Hmmm...might be some utilitarian value there. Then again, considering the content already on the pages, that might be redundant.

Good time to link into the reactions to the Times story "98% of historians rate Bush Presidency a Failure":
