Description
P.J. O'Rourke embarks on supposedly more comfortable and allegedly less dangerous travels, often with family in tow, which mostly leave him wishing he were under artillery fire again. The essays take O'Rourke on a whirlwind of adventures, beginning at the National Mall in Washington, which he describes as having been designed with the same amazing 'greatest generation' aesthetic sensibility that informed his parents' living room.

Description
America's most subversive conservative, O'Rourke describes government as a devil's bargain between power, freedom, and responsibility, and goes on to hilariously skewer the politicians who have bargained with us to consolidate power, and the many mini-bargains and evasions that citizens have made with the consequences of their choice.
