This was an uncomfortable book to read. Although I read it about 6 years later than I should have, it is still very much worthwhile. If you can't read with an open mind, it will only piss you off, regardless of your political leanings. There is something here to offend nearly anyone.

I call it an uncomfortable book to read, because in reading Maher's short essays on a variety of topics, mostly related to the "war on terrorism" I find I must generally agree with them, even when they leave the finger of guilt pointing at myself. This is a book about the way we should behave - the way we should be. But like the instructions of Jesus, even if you accept in your heart of hearts that he is right, it will still be inimaginably difficult to follow the advice.

For any thinking American, this book should be required reading.

I commend Bill Maher for this book. I wish he were an advisor to the President. I only go with four stars instead of five because his humor is often out of place and sometimes unnecessarily offensive.

I am not much of a television viewer, and have never seen Maher's show. This book is my only exposure to him. ( )

Jamie copied a bunch of pics from this book and posted them all over town when we lived in Greeley :-) ( )

Very enjoyable, sometimes very funny commentary on the issues of terrorism and how our government attempts to spin it into a better light. I think I like Bill Maher better as a writer than as a stand up comedian or a talk show host. ( )
