Ron White, Published Author

Say what you will about the Blue Collar Comedy Tour (examples might include: "This blows," and/or "Who thinks this sh*t is funny?"), but I believe Ron White is a man of blunt honesty, and such qualities just aren't as valued as they should be in America. For instance, this question and answer from a recent interview:

[USA Today]: Before we go, maybe we should talk about the book for a second. Why exactly did you write it? Did someone tell you to do it, or is this something you thought about doing for awhile?

[White]: I did it for the money. The publishers put up a ton of money to get me to do it, and I also had an arrangement where I had to put no effort into it whatsoever. They illustrated my act ... I threw in some road stories about my drug days, and days where things weren't going so good, it turned into a book-shaped product that I haven't read. I just hope the people that do buy it enjoy it. It seems overpriced to me, but if you want it, there it is.

It takes serious integrity to admit that you have no integrity. The whole interview is pretty solid -- give it a look see.
