AMERICA OFF-LINE: REAGAN TO O.J. is an anthology of the most famous (& infamous) essays from THE PROGRESSIVE PRAGMATIST, the long-running journal of political & social satire that pop-culture historian Joe Bob Briggs called "both funny & intelligent..a rare combination." From 1986-1995, THE PROGRESSIVE PRAGMATIST covered the American scene, offering a sardonic spin on the hijinks of the Reagan-Bush era, & the shenanigans of the political & religious right. In the early 1900s, when the awful specter of "Political Correctness" insidiously inserted itself on to the national landscape, THE PROGRESSIVE PRAGMATIST was there to expose the leftist "thought police." As iconoclastic gadflies determined to sting hypocrites of every stripe, we were bi-partisan in our slaughter of sacred cows. Neither didactic nor dogmatic, AMERICA OFF-LINE is a time capsule of the not-too-distant-past, presented in the breezy, entertaining yet thought-provoking style that made THE PROGRESSIVE PRAGMATIST a hugely popular subscription newsletter for almost a decade.
