Description
From the Book Back
Will Rogers never met a man he didn’t like. He also never encountered a bag of hot air he didn’t deflate, a stuffed shirt he didn’t lampoon, or a social ill he didn’t treat with the marvelous medicine of laughter. He was a sage in a jester’s mask, a piercing observer of American life who neither blinked nor winked at claptrap and pretension, an inimitable entertainer who pricked the conscience as he hit the funny bone, and a national resource whose wit and wisdom are as vital and valid today as when he delivered them, with malice toward none and meaning for all. Organized alphabetically by subject, this entertaining book also includes biographical information to give readers a glimpse of the man behind the words.
