In his new book, DON'T VOTE - It Just Encourages the Bastards, bestselling
political humorist P.J. O'Rourke writes the mirthful political
theory companion to his classic political science book, Parliament of
Whores.
Best-selling humorist 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 as to the right of Rush Limbaugh, O’Rourke explores
ideas ranging from why Americans love freedom and the 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 inordinately proud, that guarantees their rights
to Twitter, kvetch, and prevent the Pentagon from sending Marines to sleep on fold-out
couches.
Far from the typical 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.
