Short description

Satirical essays on current events, public figures, sports, and politics from a humorist’s perspective.

Extended description

Laugh your heart out as author Rose A. Valenta paints a satirical picture of the world today. Sitting on Cold Porcelain will entertain you with an amusing, perceptive, and laugh-out-loud take on the state of our country and our world, on celebrities and politicians, and all the news events that make us roll our eyes and groan.

Its satirical essays include "Giuliani's Gaffe Could Qualify for Political Darwin Award," "Rush Limbaugh: The Don Rickles of Radio," and "The Mona Lisa Had High Cholesterol?"

Witty and honest, Sitting on Cold Porcelain is an unapologetic yet unmistakably intellectual read that will challenge your ideas and stir your beliefs.

Review by: Roberta Beach Jacobson on May 05, 2011 :
Hysterical! This book is packed with laughs. (Watch the trailer if you don't believe me.) Most of us can no longer make sense of the world we live in, but we're in luck. Funny woman Rose A. Valenta explains the comical details to us and her zany cast of characters in Sitting on Cold Porcelain includes pirates, politicians and parrots - with a rare appearance by Punxsutawney Phil. Her timing is perfect and the punchlines powerful.
