If you want to understand what's wrong with this country, it turns out that one of the best informed and most thought-provoking analysts is this very funny pothead.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book was inspired by the \"editorial\" Bill delivers at the end of each episode of \u003ci\u003eReal Time\u003c\/i\u003e. These editorials are direct-to-camera sermons about culture, politics, and what's happening in the world. To put this book together, Maher reviewed more than a decade of his editorials, rewriting, reimagining, and updating them. Free speech, cops, drugs, race, religion, the generations, cancel culture, the parties, the media, show biz, romance, health-Maher covers it all. The result is a hugely entertaining work of commentary about American culture in the tradition of Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and H. L. Mencken.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42383594782781,"sku":"9781668051399","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781668051399_p0.jpg?v=1771580434","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781668051399","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
