Title: Making the simple look foolish
Review: Ronson whines that his books aren't as popular in the US as in the rest of the world. Perhaps because he insults his subjects, approaches them with disdain and ridicule.America has its kooks and eccentrics, but we rather like them. Ronson adopts the smug smirkiness of a David Letterman to get a few yuks.Then he decides the war on terror is a joke.I found his THEM to be engaging, mostly because he found that some of the "wackos" were just guys having a good time, and it was those who believed in the "Thems" that were the weirdos. for example, the Bohemian Club. In "Goats" the um, kid gloves are off, I guess.
