Idiot America by Charles P Pierce
In his legendary career, Pierce has interviewed all manner of charlatans, politicians, demagogues and fanatics and is revered by journalists for his brilliant and ferocious Esquire articles exposing that idiocy in America is mainstream. More people vote for an American Idol than a president, the media is saturated with Paris and Britney, global warming is ignored and the internet is used a medium to spread ignorance. Pierce lets loose in him inimitable style on the foibles of society with a secret hope that being smart will fight against the trend to celebrate stupidity.

Pierce has written for, among others, Sports Illustrated, GQ, and Esquire. He is the author of the books Sports Guy, Hard to Forget: An Alzheimer's Story, Moving the Chains: Tom Brady and the Pursuit of Everything and Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free.
