Ann Coulter Is A Skinny Blonde Idiot! (Beltway Barbie ' America's Newest Village Idiot) is a thought provoking and amusing look at how the political debate in America has turned into a battle dominated by political pundits relying on name-calling and insults to rally their readers to action. From Joe McCarthy to Dan Quayle, to Pat Robertson, America's Village idiots have come and gone during the past fifty years in painful succession. Ann Coulter Is A Skinny Blonde Idiot is a look back on the history of America's Village Idiots and what they have had to say that qualified them for the position.The author focuses on conservative Ann Coulter and her well-crafted ability to label anyone she disagrees with (Democrats, liberals, Muslims, Feminist, and the Supreme Court to name just a few) in ways that are outlandish, amusing, and sometimes scary.

Containing the complete and annotated texts of six pamphlets written between 1609 and 1620, "Custome Is an Idiot" makes an invaluable contribution to the scholarship on early modern British cultural history, specifically on competing opinions about the role of women in society. During the early seventeenth century a fierce debate raged in British intellectual society regarding the role of women, how much is ordained by God, and how much is merely custom. The pamphlets that circulated at the time reveal a great deal about the terms of the debate, and these six constitute a significant body of primary literature, allowing the contending voices to be heard anew. Included here are two pamphlets about gossips by Samuel Rowlands, William Heale's treatise against wife-beating, Christopher Newstead's argument for the superiority of women, and Hic Mulier and Haec Vir, two pamphlets that address the theme of cross-dressing. Introductions by Susan Gushee O'Malley place each pamphlet in a wider context, and detailed annotations shed light on the individual texts.
