Negative Positive
Title: Bright Orange Warning Sign
Review: The author of this book, whose writing chops appear to have been honed primarily by his experiences as editor of his college newspaper, presents the face of a person who is both self-aware and soul-searching, but against the larger context of the recycled right wing tripe (Republican = Christian; Democrat = Atheist; No other options exist) he publishes on his personal weblog, the projected circumspection is frankly difficult to believe. The single most effective line in the entire volume: "If nothing else...when this is all over I'll be able to say that I spent the night in a Mexican jail." This bit of dark humor is overshadowed by the poorly executed "Blue-Haired Conservative," a piece largely composed of self-important boasting ("Ooh, look at me, I'm gnarly AND a republican AND totally original!") and personal propaganda. If that sort of writing turns your crank, by all means, buy this book.
