Description
The #1
New York Times-bestselling author takes an "unfailingly funny" look at global problems and offers his own political perspective (
The Washington Times).
In this volume, the political humorist and former National Lampoon editor-in-chief attacks fashionable worries-all those terrible problems that are constantly on our minds and in the news, but about which most of us have no real clue-and crisscrosses the globe in search of solutions to today's most vexing issues, including overpopulation, famine, plague, and multiculturalism. In the process, he produces a hilarious and informative book which ensures that the concept of political correctness will never be the same again.
"One of the funniest, most insightful, dead-on-the-money books of the year." - Los Angeles Times
"O'Rourke's best work since Parliament of Whores." - The Houston Post
"Bottom line: Buy the book." - The Wall Street Journal
