It's excellent. It's not light reading, but well-written and interesting. Gore digs deep into the causes of the public's disengagement.

i am in an area where I cannot pick up the signal of the weak station that carries her. but, if she is on tv I always watch. i think she is amazing.

12. I'm thinking of reading it as soon as I finish |
|
God is Not Great,by Christopher Hitchens. I wonder if Al explains why he never could--or didn't even try--to get Clinton to increase the mpgs, on American auto's.
