Although the topics author N. O. Slak chooses to write about contain humor, satire, and true personal stories, "The American Nutcracker" is intended for those who share his opinions, yet are hesitant to convey their message for fear of being politically incorrect. Differences of opinion are encouraged in the United States and are even considered healthy by some. Slak offers his interesting viewpoint on everything from the workplace and grocery shopping to celebrities and award shows. Here are some examples: Self-proclaimed environmentalists tend to do a lot of whining, but there's not much going on as far as action. Actors, like studio executives, come and go. But why do they continue to soak up-and even "beg" for-those gratuitous fifteen minutes of fame? You think the State of the Union Address is long and boring? Think again. Only at award shows can you hear the most long-winded, revolting, and obnoxious speeches. Slak is in no way bashful in his self-elected job of speaking for the silent majority. If you can't handle the truth, coupled with a little sarcasm and satire, then go ahead and put "The American Nutcracker" down and slowly back away.
