The Partly Cloudy Patriot by Sarah Vowell
3.0
2002 was a simpler time.
George W. Bush had just stolen the presidency, terrorists had attacked on American soil, and we were launching ourselves into an illegal war -- ah, those were the days.
The twelve years of endless combat, financial collapse, and increasing national division that have intervened now make that 2002 America, portrayed in this book, seem like a Normal Rockwell painting.
So, if you're interested in a trip down Memory Lane to those halcyon days when you felt freshly outraged and afraid, not yet resignedly outraged and afraid, grab a copy of this book.
