Liberal Values Defending Liberty and Enlightened Thought

My wife and I had lunch earlier and then ran into a book store next door.  I primarily went in to pick up David Plouffe’s book on the Obama campaign, The Audacity to Win. I also wound up buying a book I had never heard of before but couldn’t resist: Republican Gomorrah by Max Blumenthal. (I wonder if any relation to Sidney Blumenthal.) It’s on the take over of the GOP by the authoritarian right, subtitled: Inside the Movement That Shattered the Party. Naturally I couldn’t resist it after glancing through it at the store.
