Bumped -- Jonathan
Al Gore's new book, The Assault on Reason, has been pinned at the top of Amazon's non-fiction #1 non-fiction book from the day it was released last week. Word has now hit the street that The Assault on Reason will debut on the NYT's non-fiction best-seller list at #1 this coming Sunday.

1. Fantastic!

I just got my copy yesterday, and am reading it.

One thing that struck me, in the introduction. Gore talks about the Age of Reason as a counterpoint to Feudalism. The printing press drove people to literacy, and paved the way for American Democracy. The Bushies, neocons, etc. are all about telling the people to let the ones in charge worry about setting policy...the Anti-Reason party. What they'd love is to go back to Feudalism, the divine right of kings, and the people just shutting up.
