"Tracks Every 3 Minutes for Easy Bookmarking"--Container.
Read by Bronson Pinchot.
With his razor-sharp wit and erudite reasoning, Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, sidesplitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States and how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate. With Idiot America, Pierce's thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he hopes that, somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma and that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated.
