    <body><![CDATA[One (well, me) occasionally hears the notion bandied about that conservatives aren’t funny. This is, of course, as reductive generalizations tend to be, complete and utter bunk; as incontrovertible evidence, I offer the sublime, wicked, merry-making stylings of Mr. P.J. O’Rourke.

    <body><![CDATA[This book is based on automotive magazine articles done by O'Rourke, re-issued and (more than once) re-worked for the current political situation, where the Obama &quot;fun-suckers&quot; rule the roost in Washington. O'Rourke is a conservative libertarian, and he skewers both political parties, as w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73199746">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[O'Rourke is one of my favorite writers and humorists, so I expected a lot more from this book. In most of the new material, it feels like he's playing a caricature of himself, and in the old material, he hasn't finished sharpening his voice yet. Maybe he just loses something when he's not talking po...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75744240">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[O'Rourke serves up his irreverent wit in this collection of articles exploring the changing place of the automobile in the American imagination. Its high-flying silliness manages to tackle serious issues that might otherwise be dull or dismal. This would be a pleasure in audio form as well.   ]]></body>
