Laddar... The Worst Years of Our Lives: Irreverent Notes from a Decade of Greed200 | 1 | 135,432 |
(3.64) | 10 | Ehrenreich here reprints a selection of her elegantly satirical essays that were originally published in Ms., Mother Jones and other journals during the Reagan years, articles in which she skewers political figures and others for causing a decay in human values. A strong sense of the ridiculous informs Ehrenreich's attack on those she judges guilty: phony evangelists, moneyed polluters and developers, Wall Street bandits, officials heedless of the poor. There are pieces on Nancy Reagan's memoir My Turn and on Oliver North as warrior prince of the secret government.

I am no saint, and in this case I might just revise my bright-side fantasy to include myself, crouching outside the bunker where the men in charge have taken refuge, waiting for the heavy door to come creaking open, with a rock in my hand.
