Description:

The #1 New York Times-bestselling author takes an "unfailingly funny" look at global problems and offers his own political perspective (The Washington Times). In this volume, the political humorist and former National Lampoon editor-in-chief attacks fashionable worries--all those terrible problems that are constantly on our minds and in the news, but about which most of us have no real clue--and crisscrosses the globe in search of solutions to today's most vexing issues, including overpopulation, famine, plague, and multiculturalism. In the process, he produces a hilarious and informative book which ensures that the concept of political correctness will never be the same again. "One of the funniest, most insightful, dead-on-the-money books of the year." --Los Angeles Times "O'Rourke's best work since Parliament of Whores." --The Houston Post "Bottom line: Buy the book." --The Wall Street Journal
