Wonderful, funny, trenchant commentary on our crazy times as they developed over the last quarter century.  How Perkins keeps his sanity dealing with all this muck is beyond me!  Actually, I know how he does it--sardonic laughter!  Keep it coming, Tom T.!

I laughed out loud too many times to count, yet completely agreed politically with 99% of his platform!

Great fun! Gutfeld's humor kills me and this book was a treat! Not only that, he shines a bright light on those who try to bully non-liberals into silence.

Rick Wilson's book follows the title's theme to a T.  It outlines the first part of the chaotic presidency of Donald Trump like no other political book written these days does.  And it's both laugh-out-loud funny and disturbing sad, as "Never Trump" republican strategist takes us through the 2016 campaign for the presidency, up to the spring of 2018, highlighting the history-making incompetence of Trump himself, and those who surround and enable him.  For political junkies, it's a must-read.  For those who want a good laugh, it doesn't disappoint, although readers may find themselves on the verge of tears often while contemplating the future of our great country.

In these ridiculous times of politics with the "I VOTE FOR NO ONE" ideals, this is the perfect book for your politician-loving, loud-mouthed family member who always has something to say about everything. With real quotes from real politicians who have spouted the most ridiculous of phrases throughout their lives and campaigns, this book will give anyone a laugh whether you're an elephant or a donkey. And I know a couple of jack@$$es running for president right now!

This guy is like the conservative Christian version of George Carlin. Very clever, witty, and animated. And here it is 2018 as I write this and this special of his came out in 2011 and yet it could never be more poignant than it is today. This guy was saying "make America great again" long before it was ever printed on a red hat.

I wrote a review for Jon Stewart's book awhile ago. It was before it was released, and then dissappeared for unknown reasons. Well in it I promised a review once I had read it, and now I have. It met and exceeded my expectations. The book is so funny, and drips with the sarcasm that characterizes The Daily Show. It was even funnier than I had originally expected. The layout it identical to a grade school text, though some of the language I'm sure parents would prefer not to have their kids read. The topics are hilarious. Special features by other Daily Show reporters like Stephen Colbert and Ed Helms. My favorite of them is Colbert's rant against Warren G. Harding. Why? Because Harding sucks.

Like a school book, it offers discussion points and activities for students. For example in a way simulate the Electoral College, kids are divided up into 50 seperate rooms, and each room is given a value, and it goes on. There's also the topic over elections, by suggesting "disenfranchise a black student". Just the delivery is priceless.

Yes, there is a lot of Bush bashing in the book. But it is not strictly an attck on the Bush administration, as some people have suggested. There's lots of reference to past institutions. The Puritans get hammered by Stewart, as does the McCarthy era. The modern media has perhaps one of the longest chapters and features a rant as a fake openning to the chapter.

Things to watch for:

Third Party Cemetary

FDR Action Cards and other silly political swag

Shadow Government Pullout poster

Past Campaign slogans

Five Great Moments in Congress History

Dress the Supreme court

Introduction by Thomas "TJ" Jefferson

If you're confused about any of these moments check out America. Don't worry about political affiliation, just enjoy the silliness that is this book.

Brilliant!  Devin Kerins has somehow found a way to mesh the works of Tom Clancy with those of Christopher Moore.

To think that you can find a laugh a page among subject matter including but not limited to terrorist attacks, depression, drug use, release of chemical and biological weapons, hand to hand combat, mental instability, and use of tactical nuclear weapons would be hard to fathom.  Yet this book has found a way to do it.

Those who realize that Political Correctness is boring, and fans of dark comedy will truly enjoy this book.

An entertaining must read.

The world can also be thankful that in his spare time, the author has rid the world of the dreaded Asian Longhorn Beetle.  What a guy.

Looking forward to part Deux.  Fruuuunnnnnkkkkkkuuuuuussssssss!

Trump's book could have been depressing in another context (or if I'd read it a few years ago when he first wrote it), but given that he's running for President this book will put a big smile on your face. I find myself literally laughing out loud at points, laughing with sheer delight.

Trump is using his "call a spade a spade", "go for the jugular" approach & he employs the rigor and the data and the conceptual models that regular politicians NEVER use. He presents the relevant performance data everyone in DC ignores while discussing policies & their impact. He points out the documented & evidence-based discrepancies, the genuine impacts, the failures of leadership, etc. and he holds them accountable for their crap policies & crap results.

Better yet, he discusses real world solutions based on real data & real human/political/economic/social dynamics. He reframes everything based on reality instead of political correctness. And, OH BOY, does he love America, care about our national interest, and care about the lives of individual, less-privileged Americans!!

This book is sheer delight because the criticism of our current bad situation doesn't get you down when you know he can actually implement the solutions he offers once he's in office.

There is NO other candidate of either party who could write such a book. I think any sensible person who reads this book will vote for this extraordinarily accomplished, competent, knowledgeable & clear-sighted man-of-action; even a lot of Obama-voters would be turned around by this book. Republicans know they've been lied to by treacherous Republican establishment "leadership" who promised to fight the Obama agenda and didn't. But a lot of Democrats know they've also been lied to: they were promised the Obama agenda would make their lives better when actually all it's doing is sending the entire country into insolvency & economic/military weakness -- which is not only hurting the middle class, but the most vulnerable in our society are hurt first & hurt the most.

Most politicians leave their brains & their manhood at home when they head to Washington -- substituting their own personal ambition for moral courage. As this book shows in spades: TRUMP IS THEIR NEMESIS.

It is funny, sad, irreverant and Tom Cox's writing style is a wonderful blend of wit and sarcasm will keep you glued to the book. I haven't had such a good time reading about a man's tribulations in life and Cat Handling. If you're a follower of The Bear or Tom Cox on Twitter, you're going to love this book!

"The Cant't-idates" is for anyone interested in the current political craziness.  Craig Tomashoff brings a keen reporter's insight to every one of the people he profiles, from the courageous can't-idates to the pathetic ones.  Along the way, you get to know the author, his motivations for writing the book and his own challenges. By driving 10,000 miles across America and interviewing people in bedroom communities and hollows, Tomashoff paints a "Travels with Charley"-esque portrait of an America that has seen its precious democracy get buried under sacks of cash.  "The Can't-idates" is a must read!  It's a lot of fun, too.

This is one of the best, funniest, most smartly-written political satires to come along since "Wag the Dog"; great cast, scathing satire about politics, war & the media.  Peter Capaldi is hilarious as the foul-mouthed British govt. spokesman who somehow makes you like him anyway despite his constant barrage of "colorful" invectives against anyone and everyone who crosses, annoys or otherwise just gets in his way!

This absurd, tongue-in-cheek romp from former Monty Python player Michael Palin gives laughs from start to finish.  In a hilarious parody of the American political system, Palin writes from the viewpoint of a former beauty queen who incongruously rises from the PTA, through the governorship of an imaginary state, and on to nomination as the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate!  Be forewarned, conservative readers may be offended by the relentlessly unflattering way the author portrays the far-right wing of the party.  But it's all in good fun, and a great addition to the wacky nonsense the Pythons are known for.  Can't wait for the movie!

I am one of CJ Werleman's many star-whores on Twitter. I love everything he says. So, it would come as no surprise that I loved this book. He's funny and smart and knows more about American politics than most Americans. And he's not even a natural-born American!

Any intelligent liberal with a sense of humor will enjoy Crucifying America. The people who should read this book, though, never will.

Aside from George Bush's surprise re-election, I had never given any thought to election rigging by Republicans. CJ Werleman describes a process known as redistricting, which redraws districts to give a party an unfair advantage, and how some areas were eliminating early voting and changing polling locations and hours to confuse voters and prevent them from casting a fair vote on election day.

He talks about Republicans rejecting essentially all of President Obama's efforts: the Affordable Health Act, the proposal to increase minimum wage, the idea that everyone should have access to college, etc...

He also describes how big corporations "want only a few things: elimination of government regulations; the destruction of unions, labor laws, social security, unemployment insurance, public education, Medicare, Obamacare and, of course, they want lower taxes."

Additionally, I highlighted so many great quotes from this book:

"If you're filing legal action to prevent others from declaring, 'Merry Christmas', then you most definitely are an *hole!"

"If the South were to secede, then we in the blue states would pay lower taxes because we would no longer have to support the poorest states in the country."

"Hostage taking, ultimatums, walkouts and tantrums are now the hallmark of the Tea Party and the Christian Right."

"Scientists base their belief in facts and evidence, whereas Republican lawmakers base theirs in special interest PR literature ('Why Global Warming is Bunk' by Exxon) and campaign contributions; while Christians base theirs in the earth "science" found in the Bible."

Anyone who favors logic and reasoning will appreciate Crucifying America. I will most certainly be reading more of his books in the near future.

The epitome of Republican, yes I said republican humor. Liberals don't have the handle on humor, obviously, and P.J. has done it again with his O'Rourke finesse!  Many kudos to a laff- a- line guy.  Get it and laugh your left(ist) sock off!  Infact, get every one of his hilarious books and laugh both socks off.  You'll be glad you did.  When will he give us the President this country needs and sit on the White House lawn with a fine cigar and a tall one? We can only hope.

For those of us who are fans of Tom Elia's website -- The New Editor -- these parodies come as no surprise:  Tom repeatedly shows himself to be on the top of every news cycle, and to view today's events with a sensibility that combines intelligence, healthy cynicism, and a vast tolerance for foolishness, especially the foolishness from the political Left.  Of course, sometimes that foolishness is so great that it's difficult to distinguish between Tom's cleverly written satire and the real state of the news today -- and if that doesn't scare you, nothing will.

If you'd like an enjoyable and thoughtful read for an affordable price, this book should is the one you should buy.

Milo, as eloquent as ever, explains how the left has been hijacked. His book is engaging and thoughtful and pretty funny to boot. Milo has weaponized his trolling to bring sanity back to American politics, and it's incredible watching him work.
