Synopses & Reviews
While Laura Ingraham was walking through a Northern Virginia shopping mall one Saturday afternoon, it all became clear to her. Everywhere she turned, she saw signs of the impending disaster: zombie teens texting each other across a cafand#233; table; a man having his eyebrows threaded at a kiosk; a fiftyish woman shoe-horned into a tube top and skinny jeans; and a storefront ad featuring a Victoriaand#8217;s Secret model spilling out of her push-up bra and into the faces of young passersby. Ingraham wondered to herself, and#8220;Is this it? Is this what our forefathers fought for? What my parents struggled for? I wonder if Victoriaand#8217;s Secret is still having that two-for-one sale?and#8221; andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;A menacing force surrounds us. We see it, we feel it, we know it. The country we love is in grave peril. While politicians and and#8220;expertsand#8221; prattle on about the debt crisis at home, and terrorism abroad, a more insidious homegrown threat is emerging. It endangers our future and undermines our present. The uncomfortable truth is: We have become our own worst enemy. The culture we have created is now turning on us. Weand#8217;re on the verge of drowning in our ignorance, arrogance, gluttony . . . can you believe there are only three shots of vanilla in a Caramel Macchiato?!? andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;Now in an act of patriotic intervention the most-listened-to woman in talk radio casts her satirical eye upon all that ails American society. In this sharp-witted, comic romp, Laura Ingraham takes you on a guided tour through ten levels of our cultural hell. andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;You know weand#8217;re in trouble when . . . andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;and#8226; Airplane seats shrinkand#8212;just as the passengers expand. andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;and#8226; Celebrity baby names go from the peculiar (Apple, Stetson, and Daisy Boo) to the pathetic (Bamboo, Blanket, and Bronx). andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;and#8226; People meticulously tend their virtual crops on Farmville, while their children eat takeout. andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;and#8226; and#8220;Breaking Newsand#8221; usually means it happened yesterday. andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;and#8226; The weddings last longer than the marriages. andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;and#8226; Facebook has become a verb and reading has become an ancient art form. andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;andlt;Iandgt;Of Thee I Zing andlt;/Iandgt;is cultural commentary too funny to ignore, igniting a national conversation long past due. America, your cultural recovery begins here.

Synopsis
New from the #1
New York Times bestselling author of
The Obama Diaries .
From #1 New York Times bestseller and conservative radio phenomenon Laura Ingraham comes a shocking and hilarious look at the culture and habits of everyday U.S. citizens. With her signature wit and razor-sharp analysis, Ingraham serves up a biting spoof of Barack Obama’s Of Thee I Sing, skewering the president’s celebration of American heroes by uncovering the lesser qualities of our nation’s citizens. (We can’t all be Helen Keller, after all…). From parenting blunders, religious freak-outs, and education outrages to pop culture foibles and Facebook fails, Ingraham leaves no stone unturned, delivering a searing, laugh-out-loud portrait of the real America.
