reviewed on + 109 more book reviews


Top notch political book with a sarcastic and highly comical look at Americans who are making themselves look bad. The writer reminded me of Bill O'Reilley and his patriots and pinheads proclamations but I like this book better because you like the writer better. You get the feeling this man backs up what he says and would be more willing to jump into the fire to help someone than someone who would either write a book about the fire or the failings of the fireman and I like that in a man and especially in a writer. I agree MJ had a deserving spot on this list and I find myself happy that Goldberg did not write but one line about MJ and it was right on given the light of recent events.
I recommend this book to others. I give it a 4 only because I dont care much for pinhead proclamations to me its better to award positive behaviour in people inorder to reinforce it than to point out mistakes, thats the women of this worlds job not men, and hey all people screw up at sometime in their lives!
My favs from his list are:
Eve Ensler,Sheila Jackson Lee,John Vasconcellos,Ingrid Newkirk,David Weston,Neal Shapiro and my worse favorites NANCY HOPKINS AND NORMAN MAILER AND LAST AND LEAST, IN A SENSE OF VALUE OF CHARACTER, ANTHONY ROMERO ACLU PRESIDENT.
