There were a few "Worst Ideas" in the "Politically Incorrect Politicos" section that lead me to believe this. My only gripe with the book is that the authors seem to be left-leaning in their politics. So if you wanted more info on the crazy governor who is essentially at fault for the death of an entire city, you know where to look. While you don't get a ton of information on each "Worst Idea," there is a really good bibliography in the back, broken down by idea. And the volcano erupted and killed everyone. This was one of the "worst ideas" that I'd never heard anything about! Apparently a governor of a small island city actually told the city's residents not to worry about the smoking volcano they should stick around to vote for him the next day. Each of the 100 worst ideas in history gets a two page spread outlining "The Bad Idea," "The Genius Behind It," when "The Brainstorm Struck," etc. The format is consistent throughout the book. I love learning new fun facts to sprinkle into conversation!
