4. Palast does rule
But I haven't read Franken's yet.

_Best Democracy_ is so important because Palast did the research that proved they stole FL. For that alone, he gets my :kick:

15. Yes!
This is the book that opened my eyes beyond opening my eyes that were already open, or so I thought. (Does that make sense?)

note to self: never attempt to write a book

3. Represent
I voted for Ivins 'cause we Texans represent, yo.

But right now I have to say that the Bush Haters Handbook is my bedside favorite for now.

5. I voted other....
Edited on Fri Jan-16-04 09:21 AM by chenGOD
"The Naked Lunch" by William S. Burroughs. If that book doesn't give Republicans a heart attack, I dunno what will.


Ooops, that was supposed to be a reply to the thread starter.

8. couldn't agree more JCCyC..
Even though I wouldn't consider it an overtly liberal book, Demon haunted world was one of a couple of books that changed my life. How I miss Sagan! We need to do more to bring Skepticism to the masses, and he was the best.

10. The Clinton Wars
was my favorite book about American politics. The Clash of Fundamentalisms was my favorite about global politics. But I liked Lying Liars quite a bit as well!
