Parliament of Whores

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book
Review: For those who are sick of left-wing comic/journalist types (Michael Moore, Al Franken etc etc) having the monopoly on political laughs, you'll find O'Rourke a great alternative. He's a conservative journalist who's also very funny. His views range from the comically/farcically cruel to the middle-of-the-road views so everyone will find something to both agree and disagree with.

In this book, he disects the US government, with an essay addressing each aspect. It's amazing how he makes facts and statistics about things like fiscal policy fascinating, humorous reading. And you'll learn something too. He talks about things that are rarely explored in mainstream media. If you've never read anything by him, this is a great book to start.

Summary: Excellent insight, Hard hitting humor, and Regretably true
Review: This is a great read. As usual O'Rouke's witty humour does not let you down as he explains the government. He takes a dry mudane subject and injects it with humor and insight while making it once agian cool to be conservative.
