Insults

Insults are by nature rancorous and in modern times abetted by TV, talk radio, the Internet, blogs and email. This book reflects all of that while also entertaining and informing. Tracing centuries of disparagement and deprecation, the book is nevertheless up-to-date and lays bare the weaknesses of a representative selection of persons in power in various fields. It also exhibits the dangers of purposely non-transparent aspects of character, where disclosure would quell doubt and dissent and possibly restore confidence. A prime example is Barack Hussein Obama's refusal, in defiance of the Constitution and public demand, to clarify his birth status. -- Amazon.com.
