Description

The hilarious and controversial host of HBOs Real Time with Bill Maher has written his funniest, most opinionated, and most necessary book evera brilliantly astute and acerbically funny vivisection of American life, politics, and culture.

Some of the smartest commentary about whats happening in America is coming from a comedianthis comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand whats 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 whats 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 were in. Free speech, cops, drugs, race, religion, the generations, cancel culture, the parties, the media, show biz, romance, healthMaher 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.
