'The Great Derangement' by Matt Taibbi *SPOILER * alert
Edited on Mon Jul-14-08 07:15 PM by underpants
Turns out, Warren Buffet did it... no seriously right there at the end....

anyway

I really enjoyed this book. I am a huge fan of his for a longtime so that isn't a stretch.

At 269 pages and Taibbi writing I finished this thing in two days-that's fast for me.

Basically he goes undercover in Hagee's church and attends enough 9/11 Truther meetings to get it. 9/11 theorists, LIHOP/MIHOP people will NOT like this book especially chapters 8 and 10.

Taibbi is an old style progressive and it shows. Post-Marxist union organizing class warfare kind of guy so he has that going for him, which is nice.

I highly recommend it. I learned a lot about the actual process of rules becoming bills that become laws in Congress and the horrifically bad process that both the Republicans and our guys have turned it into.

No one is spared here including Taibbi himself and us (we're all suckers).

Seriously right there at the end he says Warren Buffet did it, at least that what I thought it said eh too much effort to get it back down off the book rack. Sedaris waits.
