I found the link to this over at Little Green Footballs, which I read almost daily.
http://mission1accomplished.com/
Supposedly this site is for people who want to sign a petition thanking President Bush for keeping us secure from terrorist attacks since 9/11, but I have to wonder given the prominent "Mission Accomplished" displayed and it's relationship to the unfortunate fiasco with the banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln years ago, if it's not meant to be darkly ironic and to poke fun at Bush supporters.

Yeah, Poe's Law is a bitch. It's hard to tell whether that's an outlandish spoof or some really demented people putting it up. Of course, it could be both.

Nope, no spoof. Here is the site that put it up. A quick trek through it will tell all. It's quite well done, actually.

| With an approval rating of just over 20% that is still a lot of people who think that "Georgie did a heck of a job". Of course I think he left us in one incredibly deep shit hole and it's difficult for me to even think about the ignorant arrogant bastard without getting angry. |

Well, there still is many people that believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was responsible for 911. Or that the mistakes were an error from the intelligence community rather than an outright lie from the White House.
If you have yet to reject these lies from the past administration, Bush's mistakes will appear much more palatable... |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Yeah, I had gone to the Mullerhaus website and the little bit of perusing I did last night wasn't enough to convince me either way. Looking at the section of book covers under their "Politics and Culture" section shows a number of titles that seem way over the top and don't seem to be real books.
The first one, titled "The Burden; a Presidents sacred responsibility to make war". The cover showing a picture of Bush with a tear rolling down his cheek. Neither the title nor the author can be found in Google.
The second book. "Risky Schemes; the history of catch phrases sound bites and posturing, and why this trusted strategy is now killing democrats" Again, neither the book title nor the author can be found with Google.
Ditto with the next two books "Conspiracy at Blackrock" and the "Iron Lady", one claims a conspiracy between network news and the DNC and the other a biography of Margarete Thatcher. Again, neither titles nor authors can be found by Google.
I guess it could be on the up and up and all these books either haven't been published yet, or maybe were self-published and just don't have a wide enough distribution that anyone has heard of them. |

Mullerhaus is confused. Despite what they claim about themselves, they don't seem to be very good at publishing. A search of Amazon for their name returns only 23 results, many of which are in German and so probably aren't about this Tulsa, OK, company. They seem to do better with romance novels and Christian titles. What they're showing off online is the cover artwork that they created, regardless of whether the book was ultimately published. For example, Mullerhaus includes this book in their examples, but it was published by Barbour Publishing, Inc. - Mullerhaus only produced the cover. |
