by Denis Leary
First published 2017
Denis Leary declares war on America's political madness in this blistering comedy manifesto. The comedian refuses to pick sides between Right Wing Nutjobs and Left Wing Snowflakes, instead founding his own protest movement called Gray Lives Matter. Leary attacks the screaming pundits on CNN and Fox News with equal fury while tackling the absurdities of modern American life. He examines our obsessions with Twitter, Instagram, fame hunting, and diet vodka in a country where jelly donuts pose a greater threat than Vladimir Putin. College students fear Ann Coulter more than HIV. Hillary Clinton's pantsuit supply remains mysteriously endless. Trump's presidency proves that anyone with a canceled TV show and thin skin can reach the White House. Leary positions himself as the voice of sanity in an insane time, defending double cheeseburgers and free porn while trying to Make America Laugh Again. His mission centers on reminding Americans what keeps the country ranked number seven on the list of Best Countries To Live In.
