    What chapter was the part where Bush offers chocolates to an old lady at a Georgia bus stop?

    That process sounds striking similar to the work a certain poster on this forum. His name rhymes with "asso".

    Bush Audiobook Chapters Now Include "Bush It" For Windows Users

    If you plug your brand-new "Decision Points" audiobook into your Windows computer, you'll get some pretty unexpected track titles. Why? Because in 2007, various artists made a protest album called "George W. Bush," and the online database that Windows Media uses to fill in the track titles thinks your audiobook is their album.

    There have been complaints of late -- we're guessing from someone who got a copy for Christmas -- that chapter titles like "Innocent Children Die" and "Bush It" were popping up when they loaded the album on Windows Media Player.

    Some creative hacker? Probably not. The problem stems from the database that many common computer jukebox programs connect to in order to download CD track titles, artwork and other information. But while iTunes and other music programs use Sony's Gracenote database, which is usually populated by content providers (like Random House), Windows Media Player uses a less-common open source database to provide its users with track and album information.

    This is America. We don't do things like Europe.

    Oops!... I Did It Again is the second studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears. The album was released on May 16, 2000 by Jive Records, and opened at number one spot in the U.S, after selling over 1,319,193 units during its first week of sales.

    And in 6 months, they'll be on remainder shelves for $1.98.

    Con books are bought up in bulk sales by sugar daddies who give them away, warehouse them, or have groups like The Conservative Book Club sell them at a loss. It's another subsidy to the wingers that bumps books up the list and generates pub and media coverage. Other cons demand groups buy a bunch of their books in lieu of speaking fees. This is something Palin and Romney do.

    Yep! Don't forget trade shows and conventions. IN fact, I'm heading to a publishing convention in Jan for work. Shipping a lot of our product there for giveaways.

    And besides Clinton's advance was $15 million, Bush only got 7. So I'm sure big Bill ain't shedding a tear.

    I wasn't particularly miserable. To allow a person like George Bush make me miserable is a defeatist view. He is no different than any other politician, only his daddy was a president so naturally he gets to be one too! Why would you let a politician make you "miserable"?
