About this audiobook
The United States has survived clueless presidential administrations before. But no matter how enormous the crisis -- the Great Depression, Vietnam, Watergate, Monica Lewinsky's thong -- America's always come out looking like, well, America.
This time, however, something's different. Things aren't just screwed up; they're f!d up beyond all recognition. Welcome to F.U.B.A.R., a hilariously scathing satirical rundown of the Radical Right's takeover of America, by the creators of Air America's Majority Report.
If you're a liberal who's somehow not panicked over the state of our union, or if you're a Republican who's just having voter's remorse, or if you think what's happening to the country is just politics as usual, F.U.B.A.R. will open your eyes to our current national nightmare. With completely unfair and unbalanced analysis, authors Sam Seder and Stephen Sherrill take readers on a whirlwind tour of what's left of the United States, exposing the truth about the Right's blueprint for total domination -- over your money, your mind, your sex life, and even your place in the afterlife (yes, they have a plan for that, too).
Finally, Seder and Sherrill offer a helpful and hopeful vision for a future that remarkably doesn't look like a cross between the Matrix and Mayberry. F.U.B.A.R. is the wake-up call America has been waiting to receive -- and it will probably be wiretapped.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is functionally a horror story, tbh. Finishing this, I feel similar to how I felt finishing an Octavia Butler novel. It's hard to realize that everything is really the same, and just how much we've learned nothing as a society.
I've been a daily listener of The Majority Report for about ten months now. I find Sam's voice really comforting, so despite the content being disheartening, it was nice to listen to. Janeane's bit at the end wrapped it up perfectly. It's not Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition. It's completely recognizable. If only more of us would recognize it. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This time, however, something's different. Things aren't just screwed up; they're f&#!$d up beyond all recognition.
