NATIONAL BESTSELLER 
　　The three Great Premises of Idiot America: 
　　· Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or
otherwise moves units 
　　· Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough 
　　· Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is determined
by how fervently they believe it 
　　With his trademark wit and insight, veteran journalist Charles
Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the
glorification of ignorance in the United States. 
　　Pierce asks how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has
somehow deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote
for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate. But
his thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he
hopes that somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma, and
that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated. Erudite
and razor-sharp, Idiot America is at once an invigorating history
lesson, a cutting cultural critique, and a bullish appeal to our
smarter selves.
