Haven't read more than the synopsis yet, but are we to believe Friedman's call for a "green revolution" when it's published on 70% new paper, and only 30% recycled material?
That's a revolution?
When Friedman apologizes for his part in cheerleading for the waste of over a trillion dollars in ...

Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
A must read
+ A review of the reviewers and the book itself!

+ K.O. Power
Certainly, those persons who spend their days as apologists for the Bush Administration, with their heads firmly buried in the sand, will list out all the reasons why this book is owned by the democratic party, and they'll shriek out the usual evangelistic defenses of Dumbya. But truly, Olbermann ...
