The Conscience of a Liberal
Paul Krugman
W. W. Norton, 2007
Congratulations!
I merely wish to congratulate the Swedish committee-members on having the good sense to award the 2008 Nobel Prize for Economics to Paul Krugman. That's almost enough to redeem the Swedes for their egregious error of awarding a previous prize to Milton Friedman, whose ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
A Book for the Intellectually Honest Seeking Truth About American History
It is very unfortunate that people use the review process to attack a book which they are very unlikely to have read. It is always fascinating that the very same people who so often lecture to all of us about "tolerance" are the least so. It is particularly bothersome ...

The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule
Thomas Frank
Metropolitan Books, 2008
"The Wrecking Crew" in the midst of a wreck
I've still done little more than scan "The Wrecking Crew" during this week of deciding if the "wreckers" should be given $700 billion. I come from Hofstadter's time and find my eyes blinking at the audacious ugliness that envelops us in so many ways. I'm old and the ...

The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism
Andrew Bacevich
Metropolitan Books, 2008
IRAQ WAR VETS AGREE
Even before I read Col. Bacevich's OUTSTANDING book, I wrote several letters to the editor at my local level warning the same thing; most were not printed as they were seen as being too long or stinging. Every vet who knows anything about anything that I served with in ...

Dick Morris, Eileen Mcgann
Harper, 2008
Fleeced

The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court
Jeffrey Toobin
Doubleday, 2007
Well written story of fascinating people
Of the three branches of government, far less is known about the inner-workings of the judiciary-and most specifically the Supreme Court-than the other two branches. Much of this is due to traditions that have developed over the years, but much is innate in the ...

The Conservative Soul: Fundamentalism, Freedom, and the Future of the Right
Andrew Sullivan
Harper Perennial, 2007
Conservativism as Attitude to Life
Andrew Sullivan is one of our premier public intellectuals and a delight to read. Both facts are confirmed by this book. While at first glance you would think he will be making talking points for a political perspective, Sullivan quickly disabuses the reader of such a ...

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans
Ann Coulter
Crown Forum, 2007
Lonely stick-woman calls people names, writes another book
It just doesn't stop. What is this, the sixth book by stick-woman? Does it matter? It's the same book, every year. The same shtick, all the time.
I'd like to write a wittier review of this book, but it's difficult. I never bought a Coulter book, I never will. ...

JAJ Publishing, 2006
Eye-opening
I am a Republican, but I never realized ALL that the democrats have done to the individual and our country. This book was spellbinding. I was up almost all night reading it. And I will still go back to it to read again and again.
