I laughed, I cried, I wet my pants: Yes, Baby Boomers do suck, but that's not what makes this book so great- it's great because Finley is a master of picking out things in our culture and society and looking at them from a distance. His comments on the Boomers' selfishness (everything's about them), their cronyism (uh, Bush), their sense of entitlement (all of them) and everything else are poignent and hilarious. I love the cartoons about the whining mullet-promoters and the fast facts like one on how many baby boomers think they made a good parent (just after the chapter on why they sucked at parents.) Hilarity and sadness- I laughed, I cried, I wet my pants.
A doctrine of generational rebellion: This is a witty (though Mr. Harrison isn't as funny as he thinks he is) collection of essays complete with statistics and cartoons about the largest generation on Earth (they still are, I think)- the Baby Boomers. Harrison makes the obvious disgruntled points like the Boomers are ruining Social Security and their political correctness is becomming so oppressive, and some great original points like how they were social activists only when it made their parents mad (then became greedy Yuppies) and how, as parents, they just want to be the cool parent and forget about responsibility to their kids. People need to read this book if not for its humor, then for its sociological proclamations. Highly recommended!
Crackin my arse up: Why Baby Boomers Suck!: (No Offense Mom) This shiz is crackin my arse up. A lot of the books out there are funny but they don't really make sense- this one makes political statements and it's hilarious. I bought 5 for my cousins. Peace out- Tio
Gen X suck! From a Gen Y: The dork author got this all wrong. Boomers dominate, Gen X suck. Theyre the whiny little slackers.
