Title: Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse

Author: James Wesley Rawles

Rank: 49

Blurb: “Part novel, part survivalist-handbook, Patriots tells of a small group of friends facing every American’s worst nightmare — the total collapse of society. The stock market plummets and hyperinflation cripples commerce and then a seemingly isolated financial crisis passes the tipping point when an unprepared government fails to act. Practically overnight, the fragile institutions of democracy fall apart and every American is forced to survive on their own.”

Hyundai Assurance Commercial [Funny or Die]

The smiling Dad in this picture is the Honorable Jay S. Bybee.  He is a judge on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He’s a practicing Mormon.  He has taught constitutional and administrative law. He worked at the Department of Justice until he was nominated for the Ninth Circuit. A Bush appointee, he was confirmed in March of 2003.
