Author Thomas Frank on PBS Now with Bill Moyers tomorrow Fri 7-9
Tomorrow night on NOW on PBS: Thomas Frank with Bill Moyer.

"Author Thomas Frank discusses working-class voters; gathering evidence for war crimes."

You should REALLY check this guy out. He is the BOMB when it comes to analysis of what brought America to this neoliberal, darwinist, corporate capitalistic endgame.

Here is a sample: http://www.thebaffler.com/gts.htm

and an interview:

Also, see amazon for reviews of his book:

1. Thanks. I'll check these links out, and perhaps order the book.
But the first link (The Baffler) didn't work. Perhaps this is what you had intended: http://www.thebaffler.com/frank1excerpt.html

2. Frank's book is excellent
The title is What's the Matter with Kansas. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to understand why working class Americans contunue to vote against their own economic interest.

3. Clarify
I should say it explains why some working class Americans continue to vote against their own economic interests.
