We interrupt our regular programming to put in a plug for two books that everyone should read. The first is new and is called What's The Matter With Kansas? by Thomas Frank. It is due in paperback in early May. The book is about both Kansas as a place and as a metaphor for the origins of modern American conservatism. The second book is actually pretty old (1991) but seems as current today as when it was written. It is called Parliament of Whores and is written by conservative humorist P.J. O'Rourke. It attempts to explain the entire US Government, but could just as easily apply to the Oregon Legislature.
