Reviews"The least boring book I've ever read."--John Cleese "This book is so funny you may not notice how smart it is. The only thing that will make you want to put it down is to take a moment to tell someone else about it."--Donna Brazile "I love Bill Maher. He's often brilliant, occasionally maddening but unfailingly original. He's the unfiltered, hilarious voice we desperately need during these batshit-crazy times."--Katie Couric "Whether you agree or disagree with him--and I do both--Bill Maher had proven himself to be an illuminating force in a world that values heat over light. His is a vital voice, keeping the left honest and calling the right to account for itself before the bar of reason and of decency. I'd say 'thank God for Bill,' but he doesn't believe in God. So I'll just say thanks."--Jon Meacham

SynopsisFor all those who are constantly demanding an apology for jokes: Maybe it's you who should apologize to us. For all the great jokes that we never got to hear. For all the brilliant thoughts that never got uttered. This country is in quite a pickle. Conservatives govern without shame, and liberals shame without governing. It shouldn't be that surprising that America is full of fed-up, unhappy people who just want to break shit. I don't understand how a society that's so in love with spoiler alerts can also be into trigger warnings: Tell me what's gonna happen-but don't tell me!, The hilarious and controversial host of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher has written his funniest, most opinionated, and most necessary book ever--a brilliantly astute and acerbically funny vivisection of American life, politics, and culture. Some of the smartest commentary about what's happening in America is coming from a comedian--this comedian being Bill Maher. 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. The book was inspired by the "editorial" Bill delivers at the end of each episode of Real Time . 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, and adding new material to speak exactly to the moment we're in. 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., The hilarious and controversial host of HBO's "Real Time" has written his funniest, most opinionated, and most necesssary book ever -- a brilliantly astute and acerbically funny vivisection of American life, politics, and culture.

  • Funny book

    I lean conservative and wanted to see his liberal point of view. He does point out left mistake and he makes you laugh over and over again.
