What People are Saying about the Book

"A fun read and deserves success."
- Art Buchwald, Dean of Political Satirists

"Toss Dr. Seuss, Mother Goose and Lenny Bruce in a Cuisinart, add a dash of Ogden Nash, the iconoclastic gall of Mort Sahl, and you get a tart but richly satisfying smorgasbord of Don Davis's irreverent verse."
- Will Durst, Political Satirist

"Our political culture no longer makes sense. The most we can possibly hope for is just to make it rhyme. Kudos Don Davis!"
- Mark Katz, Speech writer, Humorist, and Author of Clinton & Me: A Real Life Political Comedy

"Red State Blue State packs 'punch' in its 'satirical twists on the political and social hot-button issues of the day.'"
- Roll Call -- The Newspaper of Capitol Hill Since 1955 (Sept. 13, 2005)

"Someone had to help us overcome the [Red/Blue Divide] by Seuss-ifying the partisan sniping that is ripping the nation apart, and Don Davis is just the person to do it... Davis skewers the issues, in a style that could be described as Ogden Nash works the Borscht Belt."
- Campaigns and Elections Magazine, September 2005

"Davis hits the mark with his comic, satiric verse and has been likened to Mort Sahl and others making politicians uncomfortable."
- The Journal News (A Gannett newspaper serving Westchester, Rockland and Putnam Counties in New York) (Nov. 1, 2005)

"From Mark Twain to Will Rogers, to Russell Baker to Art Buchwald, the art of political parody has occupied a distinctive place in American literature and journalism. Don Davis ably carries the torch of that tradition, as he demonstrates the uncanny knack of finding the satiric soft underbelly of virtually every controversial issue that currently divides the body politic."
- Prof. Joseph Dorinson, Long Island University

"This book is in the best tradition of political satires such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Its parodies of the culture wars, and virtually all of the hotly-contested issues of the day, are not only hilarious, but also shine a spotlight on our often misplaced priorities and shortcomings as a nation. This is one of the most clever and entertaining books that I have read in a long time."
- Jack Halpern, New York reviewer

"For any connoisseur of political satire, it just doesn't get any better than this. Funny, smart, and provocative, this book consistently delivers biting social commentary with the force of a heavyweight's knock out punch."
- Bruce R. Cowan, New Jersey reviewer

"This book is hysterically funny and right on target on so many issues. I can't remember when I laughed so hard. If you're a fan of political humor on the late-night talk shows, this book is definitely for you."
- Connie Macari, New York reviewer

"This is a fine little book for everyone, which is rare these days. Everyone is backed into their own ideological corner with little in common. A humorous and enjoyable read."
- Bradley E. Marks, Portland, Oregon reviewer
