Funny, extreme, always provocative essays on the illusions and delusions of America's Imperial Age. Refreshingly incorrect and entertaining. There is something in this book to intrigue, annoy or offend almost everyone. Get a copy before it's banned or confiscated by the Department of Homeland Security. (Carry a copy on a commercial airliner at your own risk.) It makes a better gift than a bottle of screw top wine and you can claim you thought it was a guide to New York brothels. You'll learn little known facts about people and things you never even thought you were interested in. People like Charles Ponzi and Franklin Roosevelt; St. Nicholas and Peter the Hermit; Ben Franklin and Massasoit; and things like why arming our children is a good idea, and why licensing ferret breeders is a bad one. Collected essays written for his weekly column "The Extremist," published in Key West the Newspaper and elsewhere.
