When the red states trumped the blue states in the 2004 presidential
election, many Democrats were left wondering just what makes the
conservative mindset tick. Wonder no more. Join self-described
infiltration journalist, Harmon Leon as he goes undercover to explore
what being conservative really means.
A flaming liberal in real life, Leon has been called a cross between
Michael Moore and South Park. He shares with readers his hilarious
misadventures as he dons the pesona of a pissed-off convenience store
clerk ath the Knob Creek Biannual Machine Gun Shoot in Bullit County,
Kentucky. Next, he's working security in southern California at an
Arnold for Governer rally, where he has several memorable encounters
with the Terminator himself and finds himself constantly promoted!
But this is only the beginning. Leon paints on temporary tattoos, wears
a black T-shirt reading Kill'em all. Let God sort'em out! and then
entertainingly describes the reactions he gets when he tries to purchase
a condominium in an exclusive gated community.
Uncertain about whether his inspiration is Jane Goodall or journalist
John Howard Griffin, author of the 1950's classic Black Like Me, Leon
nonetheless perseveres from one adventure to the next, hoping not to be
found out and get his head broken. Leon's daring anthropological romps
into finding out how the other half lives are by turns outrageous,
disturbing, and hilarious, yet always illuminating. Don't be surprised
to find yourself laughing out loud as you turn each page!
