What better antidote to our post-presidential-election weariness than this stupendous anthology of political inanities? In this current climate of spin and soundbites, there has been a deluge of choice pickings. Ranging from Abortion to Armed Forces, Grammar to Gun Control, Media to Morality, Terrorism to Transportation, and the Welfare State to Women at Work, The Ruling Asses is chock-full of one-liners that will have you laughing out loud.
