text: I don't have a bible (or bibles), but "Insane President Clown" makes for very good reading. That is if one likes the "nitty-gritty" of the behind the scenes lunacy of the "right wing" and the state of the "Fourth Estate". Naturally, strictly from Matt Taibbi's perspective; lets say he doesn't wear red or blue glasses and he calls it as he sees it. Which is a refreshing change from the usual pablum across the spectrum.
  As gets mentioned in the book, quoting a Russian journalist "if you want to find out what the Americans are up to you follow the Russian news, to find out what the Russians are up to you follow the American news."
  I've been more or less doing that since '67, but added "Der Spiegel" and "NZZ" etc. to the mix. It doesn't hurt to get a bit of balance, along with perspective.
  Oh yeah and then there is the G&M. :)
