✦ Synopsis

SUMMARY: Best-selling political humourist, P.J. O'Rourke writes the mirthful political theory companion to his classic political science book, Parliament of Whores. Best-selling humourist P.J. O'Rourke is back with his latest political masterpiece, Don't Vote - It Just Encourages the Bastards. Using his signature wit and keen observational skills, O'Rourke reflects on his forty year career as a political commentator, spanning his addled hippie youth to his current state of right-wing grouch maturity. Proclaiming his political stance to the right of Rush Limbaugh, O'Rourke explores ideas ranging from why Americans love freedom and our founding fathers' unique perspective on the pursuit of happiness to the modern application of the Bill of Rights, an odd document of which Americans are inrodinately proud, that guarantees our rights to Twitter, kvetch and prevent the Pentagon from sending Marines to sleep on our fold-out couches. Far from your high-school textbook's survey of United States history, Don't Vote takes a hysterically sharp look at some of the most important issues Americans face today.
