Review: The Humorously irreverent book that I needed to read
Rating: 5 out of 5

In one swoop, this book combines humor and social commentary in a way that is wise, insightful and smart. The Introduction; where the author details his own life and philosophy, struck the perfect balance of humor and insight and sets the tone for the rest of the book. Going through the book, you will find an eclectic mixture of photography, jokes, and interesting facts that simultaneously entertain and educate. Taking swipes at both Democrats and Republicans, the book is an equal-opportunity critic in a way that really resonates with America's frustration with its government. As a result, I was more intrigued with the deeper issues behind the punch lines than the issue of Democrat versus Republican.(I appreciated the temporary break!)The book is fast-paced (1-2 hour read), covering the author's personal insight on a variety of topics (from global warming to airlines to government debt) in his own quirky style. Because of this variety, you continue to turn the page (electronically in the case of Kindle) because you never know what the author is going to say next. It can be funny, satirically insightful, smart or even elegant.  Either way, you know you're going to be entertained. A unique book that embodies the craziness of these last few years in politics in a way that is truly classic. I appreciated the humor and the deep insight that came from this book! Hopefully, there's more to come!
