BookChat: F.U.B.A.R.

Unless you've been hooked on a steady diet of Fox News and Oxycontin (mmm...hillbilly heroin) you've probably noticed that the good ol' US of A is heading into the crapper, but you may not be aware of just how bad things have gotten. Thanks to Sam Seder and Stephen Sherrill of The Majority Report, you now have a myriad of reasons to really be afraid. Their new book F.U.B.A.R.: America's Right-Wing Nightmare catalogs the countries woes with a healthy dose of sacrasm. The title is a military acronym that stands for "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition," and that's the premise the authors take in dissecting the state of the nation, answering such pertinent questions as:

I'm gay. Can I still be a Republican?
Do I need to own my own congressman, or is a time share okay?
Is New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman's mustache, in fact, the sign of the Beast?
I thought we ran the media. What happened?

Buy it for yourself or send it to a Republican frenemy of yours and let the healing begin.
