Dominating the headlines are stories of greed and controversy; news reports that reveal the corrupt, the immoral, and the idiotic. With so much attention given to the region in recent years, it inevitably leads one to ask: Who and what defines us?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>NEPATIZED! investigates the most recent scandals, controversies, and corruption in Northeastern Pennsylvania. With more than thirty interviews by local politicians, media figures, and activists, this book takes a critical look at some of the people and events that have redefined the region. Lou Barletta\u2019s anti-minority rage; Bishop Martino\u2019s divinely-inspired bigotry; and Steve Corbett\u2019s cacophonous diatribes are all part of, what the author calls, \u201ca spectacle of unequivocal idiocy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With wit and intellect, author Kenny Luck\u2019s fact-filled expose, complimented by Ted Michalowski\u2019s engaging illustrations, explores the region through the people who have helped to mold it: Lackawanna County Recorder of Deeds Evie Rafalko McNulty, former WILK host Kevin Lynn, Filmmaker Josh Fox (\u201cGas Land\u201d), Political Scientist G. Terry Madonna, Union Leader Michael Milz, Blogger Dan Cheek, and King\u2019s College student Justin Vacula tell the recent story of Northeastern Pennsylvania in their own words, their roles in shaping it, and their grievances against it.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author Kenny Luck and I will be at Borders in Dickson City, PA on April 15th at 6PM to 8PM.
