I guess your recommendation will make it my English language book present. I've chosen one in Portuguese about a bigger than life journalist of futebol, João Saldanha.

Sounds like an interesting read. But I have a problem with "the new face of American politics". Ain't nothing new about it. Believe me, if Orwell was alive, nothing would surprise him about our media. As you know, Noam Chomsky has been writing and speaking about government biased, corporate media propaganda for 30+ years. And, as a result, he's been basically ignored by the very media's called out for their complicity in brain-washing Americans. Nice to see some folks finally catching up to the most important intellectual alive.

TW, George Lakoff, Frank Luntz and Drew SomethingOrOther were on a panel at the NYC Library discussing this subject. It's been repeating on C-Span all this week. It was really interesting. Definitely worth watching if you run across it.

At the risk of being thought of as a hater, Frank Luntz was completely disappointing, as always. The guy talks about the obvious so much, you want to fall asleep. Plus, he whined about all the "hate" on the left -- like there's no "hate" on the right at all. But, the other two were really great to listen to. George Lakoff is one cool dude!
