The B.S. of A. Hardback - 2011

by Sack, Brian


Summary

WEâÈçRE KNEE DEEPâÈ' ARE YOU SHOVEL READY?

Politicians who say anything and do nothing . . . People lamenting Constitutional rights they donâÈçt have . . . Protesters equating everyone to Hitler . . . Teeth-gritting partisans! Tax-evading congressmen! Fact-evading Americans! If youâÈçre 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 hereâÈçs a book to make you feel a little bit betterâÈ'

THE B. S. OF A.!

Whether you voted for âÈêhopeâÈë in 2008, or âÈêchangeâÈë in 2010, odds are youâÈçre 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? WhatâÈçs the deal with this Constitution thing people keep citing? Can we stop comparing people we donâÈçt like to Hitler?

YouâÈçll find a handy glossary to thoroughly expand your political vocabulary. And, perhaps most important, youâÈçre guaranteed to finish this book with a complete understanding of how to solve AmericaâÈçs biggest issuesâÈ'including gun control and abortion!*

The B.S. of A.: YouâÈçre in it, so get to know it.

*Actually, these issues canâÈçt be solved. Their complexity was misunderestimated.
