Chris Hedges

I admit I wasn't a huge fan of "American Fascists", but I hope this book turns out well, because it's an important and overlooked dimension to this argument. Regardless, it's guaranteed to be a much more eloquent postulation of the rudimentary arguments I've posted here. And, of course, it'll be fun to watch his former friends in the liberal blogosphere queue up to crucify him.

Throw in this as well, and it means I'll have to check out some of Hedges' earlier work.
