So I look at this month's webscription release, and what do I see:

Taxpayers' Tea Party
A Manual for Reclaiming Our Country

What the heck? This appears to be some right-wing political clap-trap. I suppose it could loosely be categorised as "Fantasy", but it's really not what I want to see in my beloved Webscription release. I do hope that Baen aren't going to start publishing political manifestos like this on a regular basis .

Very disappointing.
I'm afraid Baen are showing the right-wing bias of some of their authors. I'd advise going for the alternative July 2010 webscription that is only $12 and doesn't include that book:

I don't think they're likely to be including such books on any kind of regular basis.
