Found this through BoingBoing. I don’t really go for Lee’s “someone has to speak up” spiel with regards to the current U.S. president. There’s a whole cottage industry and genre of nonfic. dedicated to Bush & Co. In short, lots of people are getting publishing deals but no one’s doing anything about it. America knows it has a criminal for a leader. It’s just too much of a weenie to do anything about it. Still, Lee has a straightforward way in his diatribe that’s at least worth idling through the free previews:
I hardly recognize this country anymore. The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a pack of lies. Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don’t need it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we’re fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That’s not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I’ve had enough. How about you?
