F*U*B*A*R: America's Right-Wing Nightmare

The United States has survived clueless presidential administrations before. But no matter how enormous the crisis—the Great Depression, Vietnam, Watergate, Monica Lewinsky's thong— America's always come out looking like, well, America.

This time, however, something's different. Things aren't just screwed up; they're f&#!$d up beyond all recognition. Welcome to F.U.B.A.R., a scathing satire of the American Right's bad behavior, by the creators of Air America's Majority Report.

If you're a liberal who's somehow not panicked over the state of our Union, or if you're a Republican who's just having voter's remorse, or if you think what's happening to the country is just politics as usual, F.U.B.A.R. will open your eyes to our current national nightmare. With completely unfair and unbalanced analysis, authors Sam Seder and Stephen Sherrill take readers on a whirlwind tour of what's left of the United States, exposing the truth about the Right's blueprint for total domination—over your money, your mind, your sex life, and even your place in the afterlife (yes, they have a plan for that, too).

Advance Praise for F*U*B*A*R

F.U.B.A.R. is F.I.B.A.R!*
—Al Franken, author of The Truth with Jokes.

If you've ever wondered what really happened to the dinosaurs, if you're in the market to buy a congressman, or if you just need to know your place in the coming rapture, run and get yourself a copy of F.U.B.A.R.—the essential guide to building a new America for the 16th Century.
—Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, found of Daily Kos and co-author of Crashing The Gate.

The reason I did not like this book is because it's funny, and I am one of those humorless lefties who can't find anything funny about Bush. But that's just me.
—David Cross, funny man.

F.U.B.A.R. is as funny as it is angry, and if Seder's and Sherrill's phones aren't already tapped, then (everything else is redacted with a black line through it)
—Arianna Huffington, author and proprietor of The Huffington Post.

Just what you'd expect from a couple of men—probably male couple, I'm just sayin'—named Sherrill and Seder; Sherrill's a girl's name last I checked, and if I'm not mistaken, a Seder is the Passover meal enjoyed annually by those who have most vocally declared war on Christmas. If you're the kind of Freedom Hater who takes exception to bogus wars waged on cooked intelligence, illegal wiretaps, and gratuitous gay-baiting, then F.U.B.A.R is the book for you. (I trust the preceding will remove my name from any audit list. Thank you.)
—David Rakoff, author of Fraud and Don't Get Too Comfortable.

Sam Seder and Stephen Sherrill analyze American politics with insight, imagination and wit—the only way to stay sane when your government is F.U.B.A.R.
—Joe Conason, journalist and author of Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth

The Republican Rapture is coming and F.U.B.A.R. skewers the cast of characters who making it happen. Humor is the best weapon we have, and Seder and Sherrill wield it skillfully. If the right-wing fantasy is your nightmare, you'll need this book to help you survive the next few years.
—Atrios, of the blog Eschaton.

This is the book that gay Republican with neurological damage caused by the pharmaceuticals from the drugs they were forced to take in Abu Ghraib don't want you to read.
—Randi Rhodes, host of The Randi Rhodes Show on Air America Radio.

*Funny, Incisive, Balanced,** And Readable

**—It isn't really balanced, but I needed a "B" to make the joke work, and "Brave" just seemed kind of, I don't know, wanky.

F.U.B.A.R is right. The era of right-wingery in which we all live is one of those laugh-or-cry situations. Given the choice, we might as well go with laugh. That's where Seder and Sherrill come in. Thanks to F.U.B.A.R., now we can.
—Hendrik Hertzberg,
Senior Editor of The New Yorker, and author of Politics, Observations and Arguments.
