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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668051399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Bill Maher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276410216629,"sku":"9781668051399","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_3ce6bcd7-1c3d-41ba-9dd7-891b55c977e8.jpg?v=1744123131","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/what-this-comedian-said-will-shock-you-9781668051399","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
