Angry in the Great White North

At Amazon (US), the book from Cindy Sheehan, the top of the news only four months ago, is ranked at #6,502. The book hit the stands November 11, Veteran's Day.

Despite that bit of clever, if tactless, marketing, a mere two weeks has passed and the book is tanking. Not all that many people seem to want to hear what she thinks about war and peace and the United States.

Maybe they've already heard it. And maybe it wasn't all that well written:

I was hoping for some fresh insight from someone more involved in the political side of this conflict than I am. Instead, I found this to be a poorly written, dogmatic screed, full of the same cliches and unsupported accusations that have been thrown around again and again. I really expected better.

Other political views seem to sell better, though. Better written? Better ideas?

At #24 we find Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy by Peter Schweizer, who argues that when "conservatives betray their publicly stated principles, they harm only themselves and their families, but when liberals misbehave, they harm their principles first and foremost".

At #204, we find the hardcover version of Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild by Michelle Malkin, who chronicles "the bizarre world of leftists gone mad in their natural habitats: the mainstream media, academia, Hollywood, and Washington".

I didn't bother putting in the link to Cindy Sheehan's book. Didn't seem worth the effort.
