review 1: The author has a way of making really serious issues seem really trivial by bringing them all 'down to his level'. He can't seem to identify problems without making a snide remark (apparently humour, but none of it really funny), and offers few serious solutions to any of them. This kind of cynical carping is tolerable from a drunk and cantankerous uncle around the lunch table for an afternoon, but I can't make it through a whole book.
review 2: No one can be as wrong and as right, and hysterically funny, as right-wing P.J. O'Rourke.One of my favorite quotes: "What's important about morality in politics is us. We own the chicken farm. We must give our bird-brained, feather-headed politicians morals. Politicians love to think of themselves as "free-range" but... more they do not have the capacity to hunt or gather morals in the wild. If we fail to supply them with morality, politicians begin to act very scary in the barnyard. These are enormous headless chickens and they have nukes." less
