From the Back Cover:
In DON'T VOTE - IT JUST ENCOURAGES THE BASTARDS, bestselling humorist PJ O'Rourke, whose On the Wealth of Nations about the foundations of economics has been published in 18 languages, delivers a hilarious theory of politics. America's most subversive conservative, O'Rourke describes government as a devil's bargain between power, freedom, and responsibility, and goes on to hilariously skewer the politicians who have bargained with us to consolidate power, and the many mini-bargains and evasions that citizens have made with the consequences of their choices. P.J. O'ROURKE begins with a party game that comes to us from late night giggle sessions in all-girls boarding schools: Kill, F@#%, Marry. Pick three men - or, in O'Rourke's version, three political ideologies, i.e., Democrat, Republican, and Independents (a.k.a. Confused). Then you have to choose which to terminate with extreme prejudice, which to go for a roll in the hay with, and which to settle down with permanently for a boring life in the suburbs. This astute tool of political analysis works on the parts of government as well as on the political thinking that led to those parts: Kill the Department of Education, screw Social Security, and marry the Armed Forces. The same for political policies: Screw the bailout, marry (more...)
