In THE LIBERALS MUST BE CRAZY, a collection of humorous essays and stories, Desmond Lindo shows why British Columbia is the best place on earth--and also the funniest, to live.

The title is from one of the essays in which the author proposes to re-make the South African film, 'The Gods Must Be Crazy' but with British Columbia as the setting. The plot of this re-make would center around an unemployed man in a remote Vancouver Island community who finds a job when it falls out of the sky and lands at his feet. The job must be a gift from the Liberals, the man decides--and anyone who has seen the original film will have an idea where this premise will lead. Other essays deal with B.C.'s lumber industry, same sex marriage, Gordon Campbell's 'horizontal gaze nystagmus', and assorted other topics.
