C-SPANNING The Country

Like most Americans facing the prospect of $4/gallon gas, I’m really concerned about the impact on C-SPAN’s Book TV bus.

I mean, that dude is huge!

Cspan Book TV Bus

You may not know this, but the Book TV Bus, a new 45-foot coach bus outfitted with a state-of-the-art production studio and the latest TV technology and Internet café, has visited 36 states, 135 cities and logged nearly 30,000 miles since it headed on the highway looking for adventure whatever comes its way September 2005.

We can’t tell you the mileage it gets, or if it needs regular unleaded or premium, or if the  interior is full of empty sandwich wrappers, or if the bus goes below 50 mph does the bomb go off, but it’s no secret that Book TV has aired approximately 2,500 hours of non-fiction programming and featured about 1,200 individual authors.

And they’ve got really cool T-shirts, modeled here by sweet Emily, the Littlest Extreme Mortman.

    Howard: Would Miss Emily be calling on the Democrats, Republicans, or Independents line?

    How cute, Howard! I just found your site via Michelle Malkin. I worked with you back in the 80’s at the RNC, Bush Inaugural, etc. Love your blog!
