Synopsis
WEâÈçRE KNEE DEEPâÈ' ARE YOU SHOVEL READY? Politicians who say anything and do nothing . . . People lamenting Constitutional rights they donâÈçt have . . . Protesters equating everyone to Hitler . . . Teeth-gritting partisans! Tax-evading congressmen! Fact-evading Americans! If youâÈçre incredibly disenchanted, if you feel that this great country of ours is suffering from chronic bullsh*t at the federal, state, and local levels, good news: Not only are you in good company, but hereâÈçs a book to make you feel a little bit betterâÈ' THE B. S. OF A.! Whether you voted for âÈêhopeâÈë in 2008, or âÈêchangeâÈë in 2010, odds are youâÈçre feeling a tad despondent. Here at last is a straight-talking, partisan-busting look at politics from humorist Brian Sack, who mercilessly pokes fun at The B.S. of A. with a double helping of objectivity and wit, pulling no punches and giving partisans, politicians, and their politics a well-deserved shellacking. The B.S. of A. takes full advantage of our poorly understood First Amendment to fearlessly cut through the bull on both sides of the aisle and ask serious questions: Why does this enormous country have only two real parties? How does a bad idea become a terrible law with a misleading name? How can you identify the Seven Habits of Highly Partisan People? WhatâÈçs the deal with this Constitution thing people keep citing? Can we stop comparing people we donâÈçt like to Hitler? YouâÈçll find a handy glossary to thoroughly expand your political vocabulary. And, perhaps most important, youâÈçre guaranteed to finish this book with a complete understanding of how to solve AmericaâÈçs biggest issuesâÈ'including gun control and abortion!* The B.S. of A .: YouâÈçre in it, so get to know it. *Actually, these issues canâÈçt be solved. Their complexity was misunderestimated.

About Wonder Book
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
