Recently read: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy by Greg Palast.
I’ve been meaning to read this book for a couple years ever since being introduced to Palast’s work. This book chronicles the treasonous fraud, more than usual, that was the 2000 presidential election. I decided to listen to the audio book of this book because not only does Palast read it, but other awesome people like Jello Biafra and Amy Goodman do as well.
