A great gift idea for you, and for Truthdig, neatly wrapped with an appropriately festive red ribbon. For a mere $75 you get Truthdig editor Robert Scheer’s two latest books, “The Pornography of Power” and “Playing President,” plus his classic collection “Thinking Tuna Fish, Talking Death.” Plus—and this is quite a deal sweetener—a DVD copy of the “Citizen Stan” documentary on Bob and Stanley Sheinbaum, who met when Scheer first exposed the covert CIA operation in Vietnam that Sheinbaum co-directed before sharply changing course and living the good life of a committed peace activist.
Bob is from the Bronx and loves to hondle. Make it a neat eighty-five bucks total and we will add the terrific book by Mary Tillman with Narda Zacchino on the tragic death of Mary’s son Pat, the football star killed in Afghanistan by so-called “friendly fire” under circumstances that were shamefully exploited by the Bush Administration in its lust for war.
You will enjoy the books and DVD almost as much as we will welcome the infusion of scarce capital to pay our staff and writers like Chris Hedges, Gore Vidal, Sarah Stillman, Scott Ritter and Bill Boyarsky. Don’t tell our star writer Sam Harris “An Atheist Manifesto” we said this, but you will also be rewarded for this good deed in the afterlife or double your money back.
