Think you’ve got it all figured out? Think again.

Neal Boortz continues to be edifying, infuriating, and enjoyable talk radio audiences for a lot more than 3 decades along with his blend of straight talk and twisted humor. In Somebody’s Gotta Say It, Boortz warms up for the arriving political season with a preemptive hit in the Battle on the Individual: ‘The Democrats’ theme for 2008 will become ‘The Common Great.’ I can’t speak for you personally, but I am a person. Government exists to protect my rights, never to order about Somebody’s Gotta State It my life. And I damn sure don’t can be found to serve authorities.’ He assumes liberal catchphrases like offering back (‘Nobody actually earns anything anymore. Why do liberals think in this manner? Because they find it impossible to acknowledge that people work for cash’), our rampant civic idiocy (‘We are not a democracy. Never were. Weren’t said to be. And we shouldn’t end up being’), and YOUR GOVERNMENT (‘We have smoke-free workplaces. We have drug-free school areas. I say let’s start building government-free oases, where we are able to become free to leave our chair belts unbuckled, and peel off the labels off anything we choose’). And somehow, along the way, he discovers area for pop quizzes and an answer, forever, to the eternal issue, ‘Neal, why don’t you run for chief executive?’-in a section called ‘Zero Way in Hell.’

Filled with irresistible wisecracks and irrefutable libertarian intelligence, Somebody’s Gotta Mention It is one man’s response to America at a time when the government overreaches, the people underperform-and the reality hurts.
