(Newser) – The Decider, aka George W. Bush, will write a book titled Decision Points, the New York Post reports. The former president's rumored advance for the book, due out in 2010, is $7 million. That’s $5 million short of Bill Clinton’s deal for My Life, $1 million less than Hillary Clinton got for Living History, and $2 million shy of Tony Blair’s advance, Gawker reports. Ouch.

Yeah but crayons are included. High production cost

unfortunately, I still feel a bit of that woozy bad dream hangover when you're not certain you were really asleep
