Can you handle the truth?

Wouldn’t it be incredibly refreshing if people could cut the mealy-mouthed, politically correct gibberish and, for once, just tell the truth? That’s exactly what Jack L. Klinger does in 487 Indisputable Truths . . . for people who are not un-American weasels, hypersensitive PC types, or humorless bores.

In an age when the truth seems in dangerously short supply the author tells it “like it is” about the United States, education, entertainment, the media, politics, people, the government, and sports—plus a whole host of other topics that are no longer exempt from the truth. Here is but a sampling of the undeniable gems you’ll discover inside:

• People who want to live in the United States need to speak English

• Absolutely no harm would be done anyone by saying the Pledge of Allegiance, allowing a minute of silence for prayer, or posting the Ten Commandments in schools

• A comb-over haircut will not fool anyone into thinking you’re not bald

• The greatest contribution to humanity by the French is not fine wines, gourmet cooking, the French fry, or even the proper way to kiss; it is their 1985 sinking of the Greenpeace boat Rainbow Warrior

• AIDS is not spread by a lack of federal funding

• People with names like Chmura, Grbac, and Hrbek should be required to buy a vowel

• Many people are backwards: They think a life-saving heart surgeon doesn’t deserve $400,000 but an athlete somehow merits $8 million to play a kids’ game

At times deadly serious, at others outrageously irreverent, 487 Indisputable Truths boldly nixes the namby-pamby nonsense and presents the truth in succinct, straightforward style. So kick back and get ready because you’re bound to enjoy—provided, as the subtitle says, that you’re not an un-American weasel, a hypersensitive PC type, or a humorless bore!
