"The real slums are another matter. The bad parts of Tondo are as bad as any place I've seen, ancient, filthy houses swarmed with the poor and stinking of sewage and trash. But there are worse parts - squatter areas where people live under cardboard, in shipping crates, behind tacked-up newspapers. Dad would march you straight to the basement with a hairbrush in his hand if he caught you keeping your hamster cage like this." —from Republican Party Reptile |
"Not content to rest on his laurels, the bestselling humorist O'Rourke instead settles back on his caustic couch to offer a wide-angled worldview from his own living room, his salon of sarcasm. . . . Though his vitriolic wit is couched in humor that elicits the gamut from giggles to guffaws, O'Rourke never cushions its impact."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Unless something cataclysmic happens, [The CEO of the Sofa] is likely to find its way to best-sellerdom."—Library Journal “O’Rourke swings cheerfully into action . . . nothing has softened [his] wicked sense of fun.” —Allen D. Boyer, The New York Times Book Review “His fans will love it. Democrats will grit their teeth and laugh to ease the pain.” —Chicago Sun-Times |
