Post subject: New Online Book Resembles Animal Farm
Archived from groups: alt>books>george-orwell (more info?)

In the excitement of electing a new president, we sometimes forget
about bidding goodbye to the old one.

I, for one, am not willing to let Bush sneak out the back door. I want
to give him a good bashing before he crawls back into his hole with
the ghost of Saddam Hussein.

With that in mind, I have written an 80,000-word work of fiction about
the Bush years. Like Orwell's Animal Farm, which took on communism, my
"The Boathouse" excoriates Bush, his henchmen and their handling of
the Iraq War.

I will serialize it online beginning September 7, running through the
inauguration of the next president in January. The first two chapters
are online now. It can be found at http://www.slwgreene.blogspot.com.
I have also created a wiki at http://www.goodbyebush.wetpaint.com so
that everyone can contribute to flailing the pres as he leaves.

Each week I will release four more chapters and invite readers to add
their thoughts at the blog site or the wiki. I hope to come up with an
assortment of "tributes" that will be sent to the ex-commander-in-
chief when he leaves office. Admittedly, it might be difficult to
render all the material into a form Bush can read since he has scant
experience with online resources.
