Ponderings of a Scientist

About a week ago I found time to finish reading a book titled Politics Lost: How American Democracy was Trivialized by People who Think You’re Stupid. I thought the book was a nice break from the whining, partisan blame game that is most politically minded books. Mr Klein makes his moderate position known and does a pretty good job of sticking by it; ridiculing equally the pollster, adviser, and speech-writer driven campaigns of both the democrats and the republicans. He rather blatantly points out the problems, with little regard for any solutions, which was fine by me since 1) that was his stated intention and 2) I don’t want to read about another journalist’s idea on how to fix the political system. I found the book to be brief, perhaps missing some key examples, yet well-written and amazingly non-partisan. I recommend it, however click here to see what other readers thought, amazing all the republican’s hated it and all the democrats liked it - perhaps honestly is a bipartisan trait!
