Title: Kleptocrats and Wobblycrats get equal time
Review: In what must be a first for recent political seasons, here's a book that lambastes both the Democrats and Republicans alike in equal measure. And Hightower writes without screaming on the page, either -- how about that? Although Hightower's progressive leanings are on full display here, with some obvious targets, "Thieves In High Places" offers a constructive section of things people of all stripes can do to get involved with the process. Whether you agree with his facts or not, Hightower's a real proponent of getting off one's duff, or even just getting off the fence. Some readers will find Hightower a perfect example of Ambrose Bierce's definition of an optimist: "a proponent of the doctrine that black is white." His approach is to remind the reader that it's always darkest before the dawn. At the very least this outlook, and this book, is a starting point for change.
