Whats a wingnut? A wingnut is someone on the far-right or far-left wing of the political spectrum professional partisans, unhinged activists, and paranoid conspiracy theorists. Barack Obama campaigned as an antidote to the politics of polarization, promising to transcend the old divides of left and right, black and white, red states and blue. But in the first year of his presidency, he is presiding over an eruption of hate and hyper-partisanship that threatens to mock the promise upon which he was elected.

First of all, download it; it's a great book. The thing that keeps popping up to me was how isolated the "rational" majority feels in this overtly partisan political and media landscape. It's good to know that there are a lot of other people out there that are clear minded and agree with both sides while also hating them. If I hear Keith Olberman say "Sir" one more time to Dick Cheney, I'm going to barf and this book really taps into how moronic both parties can be sometimes. It also spotlights how the lack of campaign finance reform (curbed even further by the Supreme court) now makes it even harder to get clear thinking people into government positions. Avlon really is balanced in his approach and I think he's pretty good on CNN as an analyst. There's plenty of material from both parties to get mad about. Good read overall and now I can come proudly out of the closet and say that I truly am a Centrist...

From the author of Blue Like Jazz comes a road-trip memoir about three months spent crossing the country in a Volkswagen camping van, wondering out loud if there is more to life than nine-to-five jobs, than the ruts the entire world seem to be stuck in. Follow Don and Paul as they dive headlong into the deepest of human questions and find answers outside words: answers that have to be experienced to be believed.

It's amazing how many times this guy has to use analogies...his writing is tedious and one can really get the sense that this author is truly in love with his use of adjectives and flowery language
