Conservatives Are from Mars, Liberals Are from San Francisco: 101 Reasons I'm Happy I Left the Left [Paperback]

Burt Prelutsky (Author), Bernard E Goldberg (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2006

For years," Burt Prelutsky says, "the ranks fo the Right were so bereft of amusing people they had to point to William F. Buckley Jr. as their token funnyman. Finally, thank God, P. J. O'Rourke came along. Now he was really funny. I mean, on purpose." So beings the man who invented political incorrectness. In this delightful social commentary and rant on just about everything the Left does that offends him, he brings a biting wit. In 101 shorty, pithy chapters, Prelutsky applies his wit and wisdom to the big issues of the day. To quote him: "So Right-wingers, dig in and enjoy. Liberals, dig in and wise up."

This review is from: Conservatives Are from Mars, Liberals Are from San Francisco: 101 Reasons I'm Happy I Left the Left (Paperback)

I absolutely loved this book. Of course, if you're a liberal you will not find it funny. Mr. Prulutsky really hits the nail on the head on so many isues. I found myself laughing at his commentaries of current issues and also scared because they're so true. So, if you are a liberal and easily offended, don't buy it. Want to know what's really going on ? Read it.

When I saw the YouTube video of Burt Prelutsky reading one of the vignettes I had to buy the book. Search BurtPrelutsky at YouTube and you will see what I mean.

This is a collection of Burt Prelutsky's columns over the years. He advanced from tasting the weed to walking the straight and narrow, and from a lefty to darn good conservative. He's a great writer and has written a lot for television---check out his M.A.S.H episodes.

Go Burt! Keep up the good work.
