Boomsday DoomsdayBy James Hamilton

Chris Buckley's new novel, Boomsday, is getting lots of attention these days. And why shouldn't it? In typical Buckley style, he satirizes a catastrophic problem hurtling toward every American: the future of entitlement spending.

While Buckley's solution to the coming crisis is, um, unorthodox, his attempt to raise the issue above the complacency of elected officials and most Americans is commendable. I wish him well!
