Conservatives Are from Mars, Liberals Are from San Francisco

Welcome to the world of Burt Prelutsky, the man who invented political incorrectness. A delightful work of social commentary, Conservatives Are from Mars, Liberals Are from San Francisco is a rant about just about everything the loony Left says and does that offends him. Along the way, Bernard Goldberg writes in the foreword, he "captures the whole sorry, snobby, hypocritical mess that has become modern-day liberalism." Among Prelutsky's observations: On working people: "While liberals will sing folk songs celebrating the wonderful folk who build the bridges, till the soil, and make the world run, they just don't want them to vote." On lawyers: "How is it that in a society in which everything from toys to toasters comes with dire warnings attached, lawyers don't?" On Hollywood: "I think we can all agree that Hollywood wears its heart on its sleeve, even if it keeps its brain in the cookie jar." On the IRS: "I...can assure you that America's tax collectors never lost their ability to give leeches lessons in blood-sucking." On campaign finance laws: "What [the politician] wants is to get money out of his opponent's election process."
