Historia
One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past 50 years, Judith Butler's Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial. Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, "essential" notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category "woman" and continues in this vein with examinations of "the masculine" and "the feminine." Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality.

- De: Judith Butler

Supernaurally idiotic ideas wrapped in dreadfully poor writing.
Revisado: 03-19-24
This was the worst read I have ever been tortured by. I would relay what it is about but its about nothing except maybe infentile crying about the privations imposed by reality. After the first few sentence it became just a test of human endurance and pain tolerance. I world say it is a pretentious world salad but that would be an insult to words and salads. It is better described as unintelligible random word vomit. There is not one reference to a single fact let alone a single appeal to empirical reality. It is just one pretentious assertion after another. No one writes this poorly and incoherent. Writing this bad can only be bad by intention. I contend it is a purposeful joke at the readers expense. Worse - this dirty joke has legs and has spread to the detriment of all western culture.

Historia
These wide-ranging essays - on many individual political, economic, cultural, and legal issues - have as a recurring, underlying theme the decline of the values and institutions that have sustained and advanced American society for more than two centuries. This decline has been more than erosion. It has, in many cases, been a deliberate dismantling of American values and institutions by people convinced that their superior wisdom and virtue must override both the traditions of the country and the will of the people.

Sowell at his best
Revisado: 03-13-21
This is one of the best books I've ever read. Sowell is always great but this is Sowell on steroids.

Historia
Booker T. Washington fought his way out of slavery to become an educator, statesman, political shaper, and proponent of the "do-it-yourself" idea. In his autobiography, he describes his early life as a slave on a Virginia plantation, his steady rise during the Civil War, his struggle for education, his schooling at the Hampton Institute, and his years as founder and president of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, which was devoted to helping minorities learn useful, marketable skills.

Dreadful and childish
Revisado: 03-09-20
This book is awful. It provides a childish perspective on all levels from evaluation to presentation. It bypasses the crucial aspects defining the coveted Presidents. For example the Clinton sex scandals and abuses of fellow Democrat women is absent.

Historia
Alexis and Elliott get to know the Vermonter with a maligned legacy, number 30, Calvin Coolidge. Coolidge’s hands-off style of governing has been blamed for paving the way to the devastation of the Great Depression, but personal tragedy may be as much to blame as his fiscal conservatism. Alexis speaks to political scientist Robert E. Gilbert about Coolidge’s long-time struggle with depression.

Bad hit piece of a great man

The narrative shows a plebeian understanding of the root causes of the Great Depression. Read Milton Friedman.

Historia
Alexis and Elliott go back to the '90s to look at the president they grew up with. Bill Clinton has been in the public eye for more than a quarter-century, and rather than re-tell his familiar story, they pose three questions: What was it like to share the stage with Clinton when he played the saxophone on The Arsenio Hall Show in 1992? What did Toni Morrison mean when she described Clinton as the "first black president"? And finally, does Clinton really have a photographic memory?

Harding is a pervert but not Bill - amazing. There is no mention of his known predatory libertine crimes. There is no mention of Jaunita Broderick the rape victim. Hillary is already anointed President - WOW! There is no sleazy bias here! Read “No One Left to Lie too” if you doubt Slick Willy’s sexual predatory nature. I wonder if this was done before the me to insanity infected the culture?

Alexis and Elliott take a closer look at the man many consider to be one of the country's worst presidents, #29 — Warren G. Harding. They talk with The New Yorker writer Jane Mayer, former Nixon counsel John Dean, and enlist the help of comedian Paula Poundstone, Radiolab's Robert Krulwich, and others, to bring Harding's raunchiest scandal to life.

Sick hot piece
Revisado: 10-15-19
This is beneath contempt. Nothing we know about Harding and his issues with sex remotely compares to Bill Clinton who is almost certainly a raper and is absolutely a predator and abuser of women. We have Harding the least racist president in history directly following Wilson the most racist president. Wilson good guy Harding bad guy WOW.
