AmBush of America: A Book of Poems

I'm not really sure how to describe this book of poems. Well, first I'll start with the cover, I actually quite like the art on the cover, it's whimsical and harsh at the same time. It also states its point quite clearly. As for the poems themselves, most of them I enjoyed, however the overlying theme was quite obviously Bush is evil and the cause of everything wrong with our country, I might be exaggerating a bit but the sad thing is I'm not exaggerating by much. I personally am not a fan of Bush, however I don't believe he's quite as evil as this book makes him out to be. The biggest problem I had with this book however may seem trivial to some, but I was quite disturbed by it. There was a drawing on the back of Bush and stamped across his face was a return to sender message, which is fine with me, but what really bothered me was underneath it. There was a little message stating "Male is usually bad", It was a double entendre joke, however I don't appreciate the humor. I personally believe that men and women should be treated as equals and this kind of ultra feminism is conducive to gender discrimination and counter productive to a race of equal human beings. This book of political poems may be somewhat extreme by my standards, however I still enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.
