Everyone's Crazy Except You and Me... and I'm Not So Sure about You: America's Favorite Contrarian Cuts Loose by Lionel
Everyone's Crazy Except You and Me... and I'm Not So Sure about You: America's Favorite Contrarian Cuts Loose

wyatt, August 4, 2008

Lionel's book title includes a nearly direct quote from the 1931 Universal Pictures film Dracula, as I recall. In it there is a bit of comic relief in which one bit player says to the other, in a cockney accent, "Sometimes I think they're all crazy, except you and me. And sometimes I have me doubts about you."

It's a title that reflects the times. The last eight years we have been living in a metaphorical vampire movie, with more blood being sucked out of us daily. Disastrous national debt, failed 'trickle down" economic policy, a horrible war that we were lied into, world opinion turned against us...God save us from John McCain. I look forward to the book.
