In his political memoir, What Happened, Scott McClellan claims that “he stood at the podium and said he had unknowingly passed along false information.”
Didn’t the president claim this was the reasoning for the war, he received bad information, the same information McClellan wants us to forgive him for. Yet the president got no sympathy and neither should McClellan.
The reason I don’t think he deserves any kind of commendation for his new book is simple. This book is his chance to say the things he couldn’t say while he was working in the oval office. He allegedly was forced to lie to cover up for the White House .
In my mind, he didn’t have to. He could have quit, but instead he put his ambition in the political spectrum before his conscience. He is no different that the other politicians that we hold accountable. In fact, he might be worse, because now he wants to share what his thoughts were while the country is in a small turmoil. While gas prices are going up, home prices going down and foreclosures going up, War still raging on, an overall bleak view of the future, and the presidents approval rate stuck in lower limbo, Mclellan wants to show us even more negativity. He wants to bring everyones spirits down even more.
Sadly, it’s all to line his pockets with cash and exact revenge on an office that forced him to resign.
Thanks for doing nothing Scott McClellan, I think I liked the old you better.

Cd covers, we look at them all the time, but do we realize that some of them have beautiful design aspects. Some may not start good trends, like 90s rap cds, more specifically anything from Master P’s No limit label, so bad they were mocked in a photoshop friday on something awful(Not for kids). Other are showing how the graphic design world is everchanging. Most notable are “Emo” bands who use simple typography and minimal imagery to show their proverbial hearts on their (CD) sleeves. You don’t have to take my word for it, look at the links below and see for yourself where the design trends may be going.
Stumbled across 15 Inspirational Album Covers on Alyssa Anduiza’s blog. Just days after seeing The Beautiful Unknown: Inspirational Drum & Bass Vinyl Covers.
Both were found through Design Float who have a searchable site where there are several other “Cd Cover” posts.
