I bought this book about six months ago but just couldn’t set aside the time to read it.  After all, it’s by an economist.  And it depressing to read about what is and has been going on in this country for the last few years.

I finally finished it today, leaving me with a nice, fresh sense of outrage at Bush & Co.

It’s mostly a collection of his N.Y. Times columns grouped by subject rather than chronologically, each area with a brief introduction.  If you’re a masochist:  the entire book, other than the intros and preface, can be found online by reading the archives of his columns.  A brief, recent review (odd, since the book has been out for quite a while) is here.

This book is a must read for a wake-up to the lies that are taking place around us.  It’s interesting that the same things discussed in the book are still taking place.  And the media still isn’t reporting it.
