Blather.net proudly presents 'Double-Bill': an extract from the forthcoming book "False Memory: 15 stories that I think actually happened" by Maninder Obhrai.

Hot on the heels of Richard Dawkins' best-selling 'The God Delusion' comes the publication of a new Carl Sagan tome entitled 'The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God'. Edited by his wife, Ann Druyan (herself no slouch in the scientific field), the book is a series of edited lectures given by Sagan in 1985.

We're fans here at Globaleyes, and eagerly anticipate this book's release. In fact, if we can be so cheeky, we reckon this would make an excellent xmas present for some of your mates.

We're fans of Carl Sagan here at Blather. Well, at least some of us are. That talentless hack over on the main page wrote a piece some time ago about Sagan's wonderful book 'The Demon Haunted World'. In that piece, the rat-faced goon mentioned Sagan's much-loved and never-bettered science televisual opus 'Cosmos'. Prior to now, Cosmos has only been available on a pricey Region 1 DVD set.

But now, the good souls at Carl Sagan's Cosmos blog have made all eleven original episodes available.

Super-trooper Greg Palast is down with the homies and (insert embarrasing white boy cliche here) upon the momentous release of his Armed Madhouse Remixed. 'Armed Madhouse' is Palast's new book, a rip-roaring investigation into the sordid underbelly of Bush's America.

And now he's asked DJ's to take sections of it read by various luminaries (Larry David for example) and remix them to breakbeat perfection. Palast says:

'You want to listen to this: the best of Armed Madhouse, the bestseller, turned into disturbingly hot dance tracks. Click here to Listen to Greg Palast, Amy Goodman, Larry David, Jello Biafra and other troublemakers reading Armed Madhouse and put to the beat. Here are some who already have. Then pass it on.'

WooHOOOOO! In a previous entry, I had been wittering on about a piece I had read by John Taylor Gatto, relating to the American education system. It came from disinformations' Everything you know is wrong volume.

But, wait for it...
