An essential collection of career-spanning writings by the political satirist and #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Parliament of Whores. From his early pieces for the National Lampoon, through his classic reporting as Rolling Stone’s International Affairs editor in the 1980s and 1990s, and his brilliant, inimitable political journalism and analysis, P. J. O’Rourke has been entertaining and provoking readers with high octane prose, a gonzo Republican attitude, and a rare ability to make you laugh out loud. Christopher Buckley once described his work as “S. J. Perelman on acid.” Thrown Under the Omnibus brings together his funniest, most outrageous, most controversial, and most loved pieces in the definitive O’Rourke reader. Handpicked and introduced by the humorist himself, Thrown Under the Omnibus is the essential O’Rourke anthology. “The funniest writer in America.” —The Wall Street Journal

It's 2010. In North Georgia, a 44-year-old owner of a convenience store in the County Seat town of Clearmont is a divorced man with a shady past. Disillusioned with his life without a purpose, he sells his store in its prime location to an Indonesian Cartel. They remodel it into one like their other 250 stores scattered throughout the South. Harrold is surprised when he learns the buyers are Muslims. The six-year-old daughter of the Muslim family that moves into the store's annex is killed in a tragic hit-and-run accident on the highway in front of the store. Law authorities never discover the killer. Harrold Holden, now Clearmont's mayor, learns the killer's identity but cannot reveal the secret. In an unpredictable event, Saudi Arabian oil money builds a large Islamic complex near Clearmont City. The result is an invasion of thousands of Muslims into the region's traditional culture. The result is catastrophic! Bloodshed follows. This culture clash has severe repercussions on traditional Christianity and especially on Mayor Holden and his new religious beliefs. Some might say his life has a heartbreaking ending in 2045. Others say just the opposite. What do you say?
