5. From that Amazon write up:

"Charles P. Pierce: Cranks are noble because cranks are independent. Cranks do not care if their ideas succeed—they'd like them to do so—but cranks stand apart. Their value comes when, occasionally, their lonely dissents from the commonplace affect the culture, at which point either the culture moves to adopt them and their ideas come to influence the culture. The American crank is not someone with 600 radio stations spewing bilious canards to an audience of “dittoheads.” The concept of a “dittohead” is anathema to the American crank. He is a freethinker addressing an audience of them, whether that audience is made up of one person or a thousand. A charlatan is a crank who sells out."

I have "Kindle For PC" in my computers, so I'll probably buy & download the Kindle version ($10). Thanks for the heads up!

8. I'm 11% into the book at this moment, and it looks pretty good so far!

Before ordering the book, I checked the readers comments, paying particular attention to the "One Star" ones. There was some superficial merit in a`few, but the rest? Most (in my opinion) didn't have the balls to admit that they were part of the group he was attacking. Hypocrites, they also claimed to be on the side of "reason and sanity"!

9. I am sure a lot of negative reviews are from GOP supporters!
