Due to the Republican Primaries, the coming November elections and all the lovely commentary spewed by talking heads on the radio and cable "news," laughter at the expense of these individuals/issues/predicaments has been my sanity-medication (no comment, mother...). This then prompted me to start writing some political satire, as well as letters-to-the-editor. What resulted is this book. I collected such writings which I felt were superior in terms of both overall quality and humor than the others (except for one letter-to-the-editor I wrote, which is without an element of humor, but did result in me receiving a handwritten letter from Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown and I felt it would have been wrong to have excluded it). As far as pages go, it is my shortest (and cheapest) of my six books. With Mitt Romney just recently clinching the victory for the Republican nomination to the coming November election, I felt it was best to release this book as soon as possible. Due to the title of the book, the cover and its content, I've already been asked if I'll need a bodyguard. Why? Because the writings poke fun at the far-right end of the political spectrum - the die-hard conservative evangelical Republicans. It's safe to say the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, Donald Trump, Rick Santorum and company won't be inviting me over anytime soon. The only such individual who may do this is Dick Cheney and that would be to take me hunting (for pheasants, of course). I've already declined the inevitable offer. The book, called LOL at the GOP, is comprised of 95 pages filled with 30,086 words, 111 footnotes and 0 references to Chuck Norris.
For a quick preview, here is what is written on the back cover:
Many people may be coy when touching the subject of politics, but in this book - LOL at the GOP - author Craig Rozniecki not only touches it, he grabs a hold of, caresses and rocks its world to the point where he may be charged and sent away for a while. In his sixth book, Rozniecki penetrates deeply into the following: What Mitt Romney's best pick-up lines are at bars, if it's true that the Ku Klux Klan endorsed Barack Obama for president, what a conversation might sound like between hard-core Republicans and Jesus, how many whoppers Rush Limbaugh has both told and eaten, and much more. LOL at the GOP is the perfect book for liberal and moderate readers, as well as conservative pyromaniacs. It's filled with more facts than a comic strip and more one-liners than you'd find at a Charlie Sheen party. So get the book, get the facts and get ready to LOL at the GOP!
