How would you like to read some good satire by a man who can actually make the day's headlines seem funny?
TRENDING: Instead of the 25th Amendment, House should invoke the 12th
That would be WND columnist Burt Prelutsky, the author of the latest from WND Books, "Conservatives Are From Mars, Liberals Are From San Francisco."
Years ago, Prelutsky, the iconoclastic Hollywood comedy writer cum conservative curmudgeon, self-published a collection of his essays, choosing the title "Conservatives Are From Mars, Liberals Are From San Francisco."

This is a brand new book, with much new original material – complete with a foreword by best-selling author Bernard Goldberg, another media myth-shatterer.
"For years," Prelutsky says, "the ranks of the right were so bereft of amusing people they had to point to William F. Buckley Jr. as their token funnyman. Finally, thank God, P.J. O'Rourke came along. Now he was really funny. I mean, on purpose."
Among the pearls of wisdom cast by Prelutsky:
- On politicians: "If you have a politician for a friend, you don't need an enemy."
- On lawyers: "How is it that in a society in which everything from toys to toasters comes with dire warnings attached, lawyers don't?"
- On working people: "While liberals sing folksongs celebrating the wonderful folk who build the bridges, till the soil, and make the world run, they just don't want them to vote."
"Most of the conservatives I know," Prelutsky writes, "including myself, started out somewhere else on the political spectrum and evolved through time and knowledge and experience. I personally do not know of a single case of an individual evolving in the other direction. I will leave it to the Darwinists to make of that what they will."
