Summary

In the style of the enduringly popular Mad Libs (Price Stern Sloan, 2008) comes a hilarious spoof that invites readers to play a game of fill-in-the-blanks, creating fanciful sentences from the greatest hits and the most outrageous misses of contemporary conservative rhetoric. Including chapters such as 'The Ann Coulter Memorial Section', 'Ode to a Decider', 'A Beck Word Finder', 'Drill, Baby, Drill!' and 'A Teabagger Fill-In', Mad Cons will provide hours of comic relief for weary liberals everywhere.

Author Biography

Shelby Gragg is a lifetime New Yorker who is currently holding up well during his exile to Boston. He distracts himself from worrying about our nation's fate by poking at the right with a sharp stick, despite his belief that they are armed and dangerous. Although he has worked in publishing for many years, this is his first book. Stefan Petrucha has written twenty books and scores of graphic novels. His most recent work includes the parody Harry Potty and the Deathly Boring, the vampire novel Blood Prophecy, and the nonfiction Paranormal State: My Journey into the Unknown. He does not want anyone to know where he lives.
