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). F.U.B.A.R. is F.I.B.A.R!* 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. 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. 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) 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.) 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. 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. 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. *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. |
