( CNN ) -- In Roseanne Barr 's third book , `` Roseannearchy : Dispatches from the Nut Farm , '' the comedian candidly discusses everything from her half-Jewish , half-Mormon upbringing in Salt Lake City , to the sitcom that made her world famous , to ex-husbands and owning her very own macadamia nut farm in Hawaii . `` Roseannearchy '' certainly wo n't leave readers wondering how Barr , 58 , really feels about the state of the world . `` My writing just comes out , and then I try to edit it and try to goose it up or down , '' she told CNN . When the subject turned to politics , Barr said , `` I 'm running for president of the United States and prime minister of Israel -- that 's kind of a twofer -- on the Solutions Party and the Green Tea Party seeking solutions . And I would advise President Obama , if asked , to do the same , look for solutions . '' Some fans might be surprised to learn that Barr 's first husband , Bill Pentland , wrote the foreword to `` Roseannearchy . '' Pentland was the inspiration for Dan Conner in the sitcom `` Roseanne , '' which ran from 1988 to 1997 . `` He was always a great writer , and that was our bond when we first met , we were both writers , '' Barr said . `` We had three kids together , and they were the blueprint for Darlene , Becky and D.J . So I thought it was apt [ to have him write the introduction ] , and I think he did a great job . '' In his foreword , Barr 's ex-husband recounts the years the couple spent ( pre-kids , pre-fame ) living in the mountains of Colorado in the 1970s . ( Read : No running water , just a pump . ) `` We were big hippies and roughing it , '' Barr said . Barr also said she believes that the legacy of `` Roseanne , '' which lives on in daily reruns in the U.S. on TV Land and Oxygen , lies in the people who watched it and continue to do so to this day . `` That 's kind of cool , '' she said . `` The fact that they found it and watched it is the best . '' Barr keeps in touch with most of her `` Roseanne '' cast mates and is delighted that the show -- which tackled hot-button issues that other shows would n't touch in its day -- remains relevant . `` A lot of writers were made on the 'Roseanne ' show , '' Barr said . `` A lot of good ideas were mined over and over and over from that show . '' Barr also said she was flattered that `` Roseanne '' was spoofed on `` Family Guy , '' although she said did n't get to see the episode `` because I never know when anything is on , so someone told me about it , but 'Family Guy ' is a good show . '' Barr also discussed how the popular CBS sitcom `` The Big Bang Theory '' has become a `` Roseanne '' reunion of sorts . `` The Big Bang Theory '' stars Johnny Galecki as Leonard ; Galecki played Darlene 's longtime boyfriend David on `` Roseanne . '' Sara Gilbert , who played Darlene , had a recurring guest role on `` The Big Bang Theory . '' Laurie Metcalf , who portrayed Jackie on `` Roseanne , '' guest-starred as Sheldon 's mother on `` The Big Bang Theory . '' Barr hinted at an interest in partaking in an episode when she said , `` it 's kind of weird that they do n't ask me . '' Perhaps someone should start a Facebook group ? As for upcoming projects , Barr said , `` I just want to continue to write . ''
