Amazon.com description: Product Description: WE'RE KNEE DEEP-- ARE YOU SHOVEL READY?
Politicians who say anything and do nothing . . . People lamenting Constitutional rights they don't have . . . Protesters equating "everyone "to Hitler . . . Teeth-gritting partisans! Tax-evading congressmen! Fact-evading Americans! If you're incredibly disenchanted, if you feel that this great country of ours is suffering from chronic bullsh*t at the federal, state, and local levels, good news: Not only are you in good company, but here's a book to make you feel a little bit better--
THE B. S. OF A.!
Whether you voted for "hope" in 2008, or "change" in 2010, odds are you're feeling a tad despondent. Here at last is a straight-talking, partisan-busting look at politics from humorist Brian Sack, who mercilessly pokes fun at "The B.S. of A. "with a double helping of objectivity and wit, pulling no punches and giving partisans, politicians, and their politics a well-deserved shellacking.
"The B.S. of A. "takes full advantage of our poorly understood First Amendment to fearlessly cut through the bull on both sides of the aisle and ask serious questions: Why does this enormous country have only two real parties? How does a bad idea become a terrible law with a misleading name? How can you identify the Seven Habits of Highly Partisan People? What's the deal with this Constitution thing people keep citing? Can we stop comparing people we don't like to Hitler?
You'll find a handy glossary to thoroughly expand your political vocabulary. And, perhaps most important, you're guaranteed to finish this book with a complete understanding of how to solve America's biggest issues--including gun control and abortion!*
"The B.S. of A.": You're in it, so get to know it.
*Actually, these issues can't be solved. Their complexity was "misunderestimated."
