A Ship Without An Udder
(Robert L. Steed is a generous man. Although he is persona...)
Robert L. Steed is a generous man. Although he is personal guardian to a virtual mother lode of opinions - both informed and uninformed - he is always quick to share them with anyone in need. That is, with anyone in need of a good laugh from one of America's quirkiest and most inquiring minds. With verve and vigor (not to be confused with the centerfold twins of the same names), Steed offers a hilarious diagnosis of the current social and cultural condition. No one (except paying clients) is spared his acerbic barbs in A Ship Without an Udder, especially the overindulgent and overserious.
