American Publishers Scramble to Indoctrinate Children About The One
This is not suprising, but sickening.
"When the country elects a new president, publishers characteristically issue a biography or two geared toward young readers. But in the case of Obama, publishers are tapping into unusual levels of excitement and curiosity. Justin Chanda, vice president of Simon & Schuster's Books for Young Readers imprint, told the Washington Times he and his team felt rumbles of a larger presence the day after Obama's triumph in the January 2008 Iowa caucuses. They wanted a book - double-quick. In industry parlance, they call it a "crash."
My only questions: is a "rumble of a larger presence" better than a leg tingle and does it last longer?
