Product Description
Can't we all just get along? The 2004 election is over and people are pissed. The re-election of W for a second term has divided the country in ways we haven't seen since the OJ verdict, since Britney v. Christina, since paper v. plastic. The cultural divide between the liberal elite and the compassionate conservative has pitted family member against family member, co-worker against co-worker, and on a much larger scale, the Blue Stater v. Red Stater. We're supposed to be the "United" States, but right now, we're about as united as Shaq and Kobe in the NBA finals. RED v. BLUE is an irreverent guide to the history, demographics, ideals, and philosophies of "the enemy." This hilarious humor book is an equal opportunity offender, and the Red side of the great divide will embrace how its handbook showcases the hypocrisies and vulnerabilties of the opponents. The book includes: The History of Stater Hating, including origins of Red v. Blue; A rundown of divisive issues defining each side's position on Coke v. Pepsi, creamy v. chunky, Roe v. Wade, paper or plastic, Vietnam, Leno v. Letterman, Big Mac v. Whopper, Ruben v. Clay, et al.; The 10 Commandments (according to the Red side); State of the Red nation—laced with fun factoids—with an in-depth look inside the mind of Red Staters regarding morals, foreign policy, drinking, smoking, and drugs, religion, entertainment, and consumer characteristics.; Quizzes to determine what shade of red you are.; A turncoat's survival guide (ways to survive in you're living in a state of the other color). And much much more hilarious commentary on the great divide.
