Tomorrow morning in thousands of newspapers around the country, opinion editorials (or "op-eds") will appear by well-paid columnists like George Will, Michael Barone, Linda Chavez, and many others. Their sharply tuned vocabularies and finely crafted articles serve an important function in shaping public opinion on politics, social issues, and more. But they ain't the only ones. The Internet has made publishing and widespread distribution available to a new brand of opinion writers. They are teachers, lawyers, construction workers and parents with plenty of insightful things to say. And they're saying them at OpinionEditorials.com. OpinionEditorials.com is the only online editorial site that publishes op-eds from writers of all levels and backgrounds-from seasoned columnists to everyday Americans-on a wide variety of topics. The popular web site has become the only resource for what "the rest of America is saying." Americans on Politics, Policy, and Pop Culture contains 101 of the best op-eds published to date at OpinionEditorials.com. In it you'll find a wide variety of short pieces on everyone from President George W. Bush to John Kerry. You'll also find opinions both poignant and humorous on: Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction CBS' newsroom malfunction Howard Dean's brain malfunction What other book offers you that?

What do they say? Opinions are like, um, noses ... everyone's got 'em? (Of course "noses" isn't the exact phrase, but you get the picture) Yet, I challenge the average fella to sit down and write an opinion on any subject and have the result interesting, informative or even readable. It isn't as easy as one might imagine.
That is what we have here, scores of people from everyday life, some with extensive educations others who've attended that school of hard knocks, sitting themselves down to write an opinion piece for the general reader. And what many of them come up with is both interesting and informative as well as very readable.
As the forward of the book says, the internet has opened the door for millions of people to disseminate their opinions, ideas, desires and hopes and this book captures all that well. It is sometimes thought provoking, sometimes humorous and sometimes a bit polemic, but always fun.
Get this book. See what American citizens are saying. Then get thyself to a computer and JOIN them at the task! We are all Thomas Paines now. (
