I have not read a funnier book since Bill Clinton's "My Life."

This collection of short pieces is just priceless. Each hilarious piece is a page or two long, so you can read here and there. Hilarious, sane, and educational.

I am buying this for all my friends.

Fred has topped himself with a witty vivisection of every form of modern political corretness. Fred pokes ,prods and bludgeons with a purpose, however he clearly is a man who understands that evaluating the modern condition cannot be done in a historical vacuum but must accompany honest evaluations of the strengths and weaknesses of the past.

I read this when I want a 'lift' it is so irreverent and true I immediately gain a better mood!

Hilarious. The PC crowd should be forced to read every page, maybe they would see the error of their ways. But, probably not.

I spent a couple decades wandering the globe after my time in Southeast Asia and Fred describes the characters one ran into with precision. I miss the road.

I started highlighting favorite paragraphs and dog earing pages. Halfway through I discovered that that just about every page was dog eared and highligted.

I have recommended this book to all of my friends and will be gifting it some who really need to read it.

Fred, keep up the great work.
