But things do...

Whether you lust after it, loathe it, or feign apathy toward it, fame is in your face. Cintra Wilson gets to the heart of our humiliating fascination with celebrity and all its preposterous trappings in these hilarious, whip-smart, and subversive essays.

This compendium is a highly opinionated, occasionally bogus representation of the most egregious modern examples of both common irritating folks and the rich and powerful who demean others while enriching themselves. It also includes real villains. <br><br>See if you can tell the difference. The subjects of this book barely scratch the surface of the total number of jerks worldwide.

This remarkably inexpensive volume gathers together hundreds of Twain's most memorable quips...
