Book of the Week

Poor Joe Bageant may never be as hip as Thomas Frank or Rush Limbaugh but I found his take on Red State America to be a welcome breath of fresh air when I first read it back in 2007. I'm just sorry it took me so long to find an occasion to mention it.

I read a lot of books in my spare time but I don't always find time to mention the ones worth reading. And this book was definitely worth reading. It would be nice to think that Obama's election has made this particular book out of date -- but I doubt it.
