LAWeekly! Sore Winners (And the Rest of Us) . . . in George Bush’s America. JOHN POWERS, in an excerpt from his brand-new book, a pop mythology of the Bush years, takes on The Apprentice, spoiled athletes, greedy CEOs and the politicians who brought us the war in Iraq. Plus, the Napoleon of Terror — Osama as Sore Winner. + Love and Loathing in Boston: What’s going down at the Democratic National Convention is nothing short of a passionate preamble to overthrowing government one more time. Or is it? MARC COOPER follows the dollars from the Fleet Center to fancy spreads of Wellfleet oysters and mango lobster cakes and overfed delegates basking in the attention of the nation’s most influential corporations. JOSHUAH BEARMAN watches Howard Dean make a case for the youth vote. HAROLD MEYERSON goes to the floor to see what party unity really sounds like. + A Considerable Town : Dump Bush ... er, never mind: Microsoft calls JAN STRNAD a hatemonger. But the only person he hates is George W. Bush; Free speech, milady: The good people of the Kingdom of Porn just want to have a ball. BY PETER GILSTRAP
