ARMED MADHOUSE

America needs more fire-breathing investigative reporters like Greg Palast. He is passionate about America and passionate about exposing the crimes, greedy plots, and crooked world-influencing schemes of the Bush Administration and its international cronies. What's refreshing is Palast's ability to also mock himself as his excoriating, deeply researched screed unfolds. Does he relent as we near the end of the final CD? No, Palast ramps up the intensity and outrage, as real patriots are known to do. Add a star-studded guest list of readers, actors, activists, and various others to Palast's angry and deeply aware delivery, shake gently, and watch the fireworks.
