Strangelovian Subtitles and Political Books

I always treat these books as trash. You know what I'm referring to, they absolutely dominate the front tables and Barnes and Noble. Titles like Fight for the Right: Why Liberals Are Horrible and They Make the Dollar Decline and Reid, Pelosi, Obama = Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels. Or books that go for the instructional cover. Why so-and-so did something wrong and how you can save yourself! Just going on and on and on, creating a mini-rant out of the book title. Save it for when I open the cover, for Christ's sake.

Here are some gems:

The Predator State: How Conservatives Abandoned the Free Market and Why Liberals Should Too

The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries Are Failing and What Can Be Done About It

Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk-Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, and Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments are Scamming Us... and What to Do About It

That last one is, of course, authored by Dick Morris. There are so many things laughable about that title that it's hard to know where to start. The "... and What to Do About It" is especially good. There's nothing you can do. You can vote for McCain. That's what you can do. Or write your congressman repeatedly about the importance of voting nay on the Fairness Doctrine. Or take every terrorist threat seriously. The idea of being taught how to act by a rotund dwarf-turned-pundit is hilarious.

It still boggles the mind how many books exist already that condemn Obama. He. Hasn't. Accomplished. Anything. At least wait for Jan. 20th. Corsifail.
