Description

O'Rourke explores ideas ranging from why Americans love freedom and our founding fathers' unique perspective on the pursuit of happiness to the modern application of the Bill of Rights, an odd document of which Americans are inordinately proud, that guarantees our rights to Twitter, kvetch, and prevent the Pentagon from sending Marines to sleep on our fold-out couches.

Description

Using his signature wit and keen observational skills, O'Rourke reflects on his 40 year career as a political commentator, spanning his addled hippie youth to his current state of right-wing grouch maturity. He explores ideas ranging from why Americans love freedom to the modern application of the Bill of Rights.
