'Why We Suck'

Denis Leary's new book chimes in at an appropriate time in American history. Similar to this blog's main message, he focuses on our society as "fat, loud, lazy and stupid." I don't see us in such a harsh light, so I leave that to others, like Leary.

I haven't read the book, but according to the article, Leary's "feel-good guide" highlights the downers in our society: all the people who take themselves too seriously. Maybe it is what the disintegrating population needs; a publication that dishes it out like it really is, no sugar-coating involved. Not only does the comedian poke fun at America, he lays it on thick for the planet Earth as well.

I'm not sure if I'll be picking this one up, but if you skim it during your weekly visit to B&N, please post comments!
