Bringing together Matt Taibbi's most incisive and hilarious work from his "Road Work" column in Rolling Stone, Smells Like Dead Elephants shines an unflinching spotlight on the corruption, dishonesty, and sheer laziness of our leaders.

Story decent but narration too fast
Revisado: 08-10-15
Given the topic of the story (political buffoonery by out esteemed electorate), the narrator is reading way too fast. Need to slow down to I can digest the irony in the story. I've read (listened) to many other Taibi books, so imagine if you're not familiar with this author. You'd be lost by chapter 2.

In January 2007 two young stoners from Miami Beach - one a ninth-grade dropout, the other a licensed masseur - won a $300 million Department of Defense contract to supply ammunition to the Afghanistan military. Incredibly, instead of fulfilling the order with high-quality arms, Efraim Diveroli and David Packouz - the dudes - bought cheap Communist-style surplus ammunition from Balkan gunrunners.

Great story, performance has flaws

Overall the story was great and interesting. But the narrator for the audio book read the speaking portions of the "dudes" in a really annoying Russian accent (those guys weren't even Russian, they were Jewish guys from Miami). WTH?!

For the first time in history, the secrets of the living brain are being revealed by a battery of high-tech brain scans devised by physicists. Now what was once solely the province of science fiction has become a startling reality. Recording memories, telepathy, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis are not only possible; they already exist.

First of all I have to say I can't stand this narrator. He sounds like a machine.
As for the story, it's ok some chapters, and others just go off topic into areas of astrophysics and quantum theory. I know this is prof Kaku's specialty area but does everything he writes have to circle back to those? And some of the chapters were just unnecessarily long, adding fluff as if it's a high school essay trying to fill a word count quota.
