Product Description

"For years," Burt Prelutsky says, "the ranks of 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 begins the man who invented political incorrectness. In this delightful social commentary and on just about everything the Left does that offends him, he brings a biting wit.

• On politicians: "If you have a politician for a friend, you don't need an enemy."

• On lawyers: "How is it than in a society in which everything from toys to toasters comes with dire warnings attached, lawyers don't?"

• On working people: "While liberals sing folk songs celebrating the wonderful folk who build the bridges, till the soil, and make the world run, they just don't want them to vote."

In 101 short, pithy chapters Prelutsky applies his wit and wisdom to the big issues of the day. To quote him: "So rightwingers, dig in and enjoy. Liberals, dig in and wise up."

5.0 out of 5 stars Hits the Nail on the Head !!!, January 3, 2007

By	Helen Ross (SEattle,WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Burt's Letters, June 7, 2007

By	Rodney E. Willis "Rod Willis" (Tallahassee, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

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.
