Why not <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/adbl\/entry\/offers\/productPromo2.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&amp;productID=BK_ADBL_000050\">download it<\/a> so you can listen to it in the car on the way to work or school?  You can work on your Yosemite Sam impression as you try not to swear in front of the kids. And you can burn calories as your blood pressure rises and your blood boils. Imagine the excitement on your kid&#8217;s face when you tell her you won&#8217;t be listening to her favorite Elmo Sings Elvis CD (the same one you&#8217;ve listened to over and over again every single time your gotten into car for the last six months)  since you will be listening to the Iraq Study Group report on your way to school.  How much would that be worth to you? $10? $5? How about a buck? Well, it&#8217;s free and I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s worth it.<br \/>\nI hope Baker is the one reading since his voice is more interesting than Hamilton&#8217;s.  (You don&#8217;t actually think I&#8217;m  going to listen to it to find out, do you?  Why would I waste my time?
