"A raucous rant against the armies of the right. . . . Pierce is at his scathing, insightful best." -The Boston Globe "A lively and, dare I say, intelligent study of the ongoing assault on gray matter." -Stephen Amidon,The New York Observer "[A] witty and pointed indictment of our nation's disturbing ability to vilify smart people and elevate chowderheads to positions of power and influence." -The Salt Lake Tribune "For a good (if painful) laugh about creationism and other bits of American lunacy, try Charles Pierce'sIdiot America. It's a funny, sly version of an argument made recently by Al Gore inThe Assault on Reason, and by the brilliant Susan Jacoby inThe Age of American Unreason." -John A. Farrell, USNews.com "There is only one Charles Pierce, and while that may be a good thing, it is also a damn good thing we have his unique combination of gonzo, erudition, fearlessness, and eloquence to help us make sense of a senseless world. I stand in awe, and appreciation." -Eric Alterman, authorWhy We're LiberalsandWhen Presidents Lie "Pierce penetrates, and the world feels less idiotic already." -Roy Blount Jr., author ofAlphabet JuiceandLong Time Leaving "Charles Pierce takes us on a brilliant and hilarious tour of the back roads of American idiotocracy through history-skewering Atlantis-seekers, evolution deniers, jackasses, nincompoops, and right-wing know-it-alls with his trademark sledgehammer wit. Reading Pierce'sIdiot America, I laughed myself stupid." -Amy Dickinson, author ofThe Mighty Queens of Freeville "Engaging. . . . Pierce delivers a rapier-sharp rant on how the America of Franklin and Edison, Fulton and Ford has devolved into America the Uninformed." -Publishers Weekly "There's a guy down at the end of the bar who's furiously angry, hilariously funny, and has an Irish poet's talent for language. He's been traveling the country, and he's been alternately appalled and moved by what he's found there, and, lucky you, he wants to tell you all about it. Listen." -Peter Sagal, author ofThe Book of Viceand host of NPR'sWait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, "A raucous rant against the armies of the right. . . .

Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER The three Great Premises of Idiot America- Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise moves units Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is determined by how fervently they believe it With his trademark wit and insight, veteran journalist Charles Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States. Pierce asks how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has somehow deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate. But his thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he hopes that somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma, and that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated. Erudite and razor-sharp, Idiot America is at once an invigorating history lesson, a cutting cultural critique, and a bullish appeal to our smarter selves., NATIONAL BESTSELLER The three Great Premises of Idiot America: - Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise moves units - Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough - Fact is that which enough people believe.

- h***t (165)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe shoes look great. But, I tried to cancel the order 2 hours after I purchased them, and I got a message saying it was too late to cancel. I looked, and there was no tracking number available . He was untruthful when he said it was too late to cancel. So, I think the seller is unprofessional, untruthful, and greedy. I would not by anything else from him ever again. I’m just grateful that I ended up liking the shoes.BRAND NEW GIRLS ANKLE STRAPE ZIPPER CLOSE FAUX LEATHER SANDALS (Nr. 401520714946)
