Book Description

We're supposed to be the "United" States, but right now, we're about as united as Shaq and Kobe in the NBA finals. BLUE v. RED is an irreverent guide to the history, demographics, ideals, and philosophies of "the enemy." This hilarious humor book is an equal opportunity offender, and the Blue side of the great divide will embrace how its handbook showcases the hypocrisies and vulnerabilties of the opponents. The book includes:

" The History of Stater Hating, including origins of Red v. Blue

" A rundown of divisive issues defining the Blue side's position on Coke v. Pepsi, creamy v. chunky, Roe v. Wade, paper or plastic, Vietnam, Leno v. Letterman, Big Mac v. Whopper, Ruben v. Clay, et al.

" The 10 Commandments (according to the Blue side)

" State of the Blue nation-laced with fun factoids-with an in-depth look inside the mind of Blue Staters regarding morals, foreign policy, drinking, smoking, and drugs, religion, entertainment, and consumer characteristics.

" Quizzes to determine what shade of blue you are

" A turncoat's survival guide (ways to survive in you're living in a state of the other color.

And much much more hilarious commentary on the great divide.
