Irregular Books

Back in 2004, Irregular Times created a new kind of reference book: 2004 Reasons to Boot Bush. The book listed 2,004 separate reasons to remove George W. Bush from the White House in the 2004 presidential election. These “reasons” were not mere bullet points, of the sort you might get from David Letterman. Most were explanations long enough to be considered political essays.

The following video looks back to this political book from 2004 as a way of reflecting on how, sadly, America is still suffering from the problems created by the first term of President Bush. In the second term, come to think of it, things have gotten even worse.

This retrospective comes just as Irregular Times is releasing its new political reference guide, 2008 Reasons to Elect a Progressive President. This new book is not an update of the 2004 Reasons to Boot Bush. It’s new material written just for this year. It also includes a much more extensive discussion of political issues that the 2004 book did. 2008 Reasons to Elect a Progressive President is about three times as long as the 2004 reference guide, and so has had to be divided into two separate volumes: (See Volume One and Volume Two).
