I wanted to like this book. I tried to like this book. The premise was, I though, a good one: to use the principles of logic to dissect popular arguments of the day, and to recognize fallacies for what they are. Unfortunately, the author does a great disservice to the noble enterprise by falling victim to those same fallacies in the attempt to poke holes in arguments. Straw men and ad hominem attacks abound, and more often then not the book provides an excellent example of what not to do.
