If You're Going To Buy Just One Book Today...
Published by BG on Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 5:23 PM.Glenn Greenwald's new book, A Tragic Legacy "dropped" today (as the kids in the 'hood say), and I got mine.
You armed with the truth?
Glenn mentioned that "a book's success can force media outlets to provide a platform for the book’s arguments and to expand the range of voices and perspectives which are heard." Tim at Balloon Juice draws the natural conclusion:

Jesus god yes, that is a good enough reason for me. How about you?
Pick up A Tragic Legacy today. Support the best of the bloggers no matter what side of the argument you favor, so that bloggers don't continue to be marginalized as amateurs by the mainstream media. The best of what's out there is as well researched and constructed as any Krauthammer, Noonan or Will op-ed, so do what you can to help corrupt the narrative that bloggers are just virulent dirty hippies whose opinions aren't trustworthy.
Besides, you might learn something important along the way.

If you need a reason to buy Greenwald’s book, think about how fun it will be to see him on regular panels with Fred Kagan, Michelle Malkin and Anne Coulter. He drives them fucking crazy. James Carville and Paul Begala are pale substitutes for the kind of entertainment that a natural archivist like Greenwald can bring when he mixes with people who think they can make shit up and get away with it.
