Publisher: Feral House, 2004

Sterling (editor of the online publication The Konformist) offers a concise polemic on why George W. Bush "has something to anger everyone." He distills his reasons into 50 short sections declaring everything from "he stole the election" to he's a "wimp" and a "dumbass." Many of the separate topics could conceivably have been grouped under single headings, such as the various corporate scandals, different aspects of the 2000 election theft, attacks on civil liberties, separate pieces of the Iraq war, and charges of complicity with 9-11.

From Publishers Weekly:

Fifty seems to be the number of choice for political handbooks this year (see MoveOn’s 50 Ways to Love Your Country and Ben Cohen and Jason Salzman’s 50 Ways to Show George the Door in 2004). Sterling, of Konformist.com, appeals to those who are so disillusioned and cynical about both major political parties that they didn’t even vote in 2000. "Lest the election be close enough to steal again, make sure that your friends go to the polls, if only out of anger," he advises. Most of Sterling’s 50 reasons will be familiar to those who follow the news-the Enron corruption scandal, the failure to find Osama bin Laden, the charge that Bush disregarded intelligence about a terrorist move on the U.S.-and like other Bush-hating texts, this one brings together disparate pieces of information. The harsh tone (and four-letter words) won’t appeal to all who want to unseat Bush, but those who sat on the sidelines in 2000 may be tempted to check this out. The book includes short contributions by bestselling author Greg Palast, Paul Krassner and others.

Review:

Robert Sterling is bracingly rude. -- The Guardian (UK), 7/10/04

Sterling's concise handbook of facts, figures and felonies (is) enlivened by his sardonic (some would say "demented") wit... -- New York Press, June 2-8 2004

Very provocative... very informative tell-all book... laid out in a nice, neat and easily referenced format. -- L.A. Vess, gaywired.com
