100 People Who Are Screwing Up America Description:

100 People Who Are Screwing Up America review:
4 stars (these reviews are ideal) - in showing the split in America's political seam. Um, I don't imagine there'll be a melding-of-the-minds anytime soon. Both sides are right, of course, and both are wrong. Everyone seems to agree America's going to hell in a hand basket and whose fault is it? Why it's your fault, and it's my fault, and it's that guys fault and well, there's a lotta fault to go around...cause everyone really knows how the world runs, or is supposed to run and if only THEY just listened to ME...cause I know, I really do...I'm well learned and stuff. Hey, don't sweat it, lighten up, a book like this is fun...even if it contributes to the problem.

To quote L. Cohen

"I'm not left or right, I'm just staying in tonight"

Peace and Love
4 stars (Good book) - This is a good read. Some of the people mentioned are not well known, so I cannot comment on their appearance in the book, but I certainly agree with Goldberg on those whose names I do recognize, although not always in the sequence that he places them. Still, Goldberg points out the absurd conduct of a lot of the bad actors in our country.
1 stars (Unfunny neo-con propaganda) - If you're Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh or anyone who would associate with any of them, you'll love this book. Otherwise, this is a failed attempt at Al Franken satire with some of the most forced humor I've ever read in a book of its kind. The section about Al Franken was desperate (not to mention he hid the cuss words behind asterisks - wouldn't want Brent Bozell to read this book and have a stroke), the diatribe about Eminem sounds like something Andy Rooney would write in 15 years when he's even older and MORE out of touch, and although I agree with his assessment of #95, Courtney Love (all he wrote was the word "ho"), he resorts to this writing device too often without bothering to explain why people such as Love are such a threat to America. Not to mention that it sounds about as embarrassing, cringe-worthy and out-of-place as if George F. Will called her a ho instead.



Only when he targets obvious listees like Paris Hilton's mother and father does he say stuff most of us can agree on, and even then he sounds like an utter and complete fuddy-duddy.



But the bottom line is that it's his list, it's his opinion, and we're free to agree with it (if we're "normal") or disagree with it (if we're America-hating tree-hugging liberal scum). If you're turned off by neo-con propaganda, avoid this book and just let this poor guy preach to his choir. Or read it and get a good laugh at just how forced and awkward this kind of new-millennium agitprop can get.
