Let me backtrack for a minute.  Many of us either read the American childrens book classic Goodnight Moon by ourselves and/or to our children.  Check out the authors’ book and new website.  

I don’t know about you, but humor helps me deal with the ongoing trauma and tragedy of the Bush years.  More below the fold about Goodnight Moon and Goodnight Bush.

First published in 1947, Goodnight Moon was written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd. This simple bedtime story features the process of a child saying goodnight to everything around:

“Goodnight room. Goodnight moon. Goodnight cow jumping over the moon. Goodnight light, and the red balloon…”

Goodnight Bush: A Parody was created by Gan Golan and Erich Origen, who according to Wikipedia are former employees of Donald Rumsfeld. Published on May 27, 2008, Goodnight Bush

takes a satirical look back at the presidency of George W. Bush, using the popular children’s book Goodnight Moon as a jumping off point. Described as a “traumedy” by its authors, the book touches on issues including torture, war for profit, the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina, and the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
