Description

Why is your brother-in-law concerned about the Estate Tax? Why do millionaire news reporters get everything wrong? Why are blood-sucking teachers bankrupting America?

Jimmy Dore, the comedy darling of America's Progressive Left, answers all these questions and more! In this laugh-out-loud collection of essays that are both street-smart and informed, Jimmy sets out to discover what's wrong. Crackling with caustic wit and insight, no aspect of American life is safe from Jimmy's hilarious scrutiny. He gets to the heart of the issues: why Republicans should support gay marriage or why the President shouldn't have Secret Security until the country has gun control, bringing clarity and hilarity to the incoherent noise of our punditocracy.

This outrageously entertaining manifesto is an excellent resource for those who have survived long arguments during family dinners. And in a media environment dominated by corporate interests, Jimmy's take-no-prisoners approach is fearless: going after both political parties, and all corners of mainstream news. A David against an army of Goliaths.

Equal measures of silliness and spleen-venting, Your Country Is
Just Not That Into You
is the most oddly uplifting political book of
the year.

    Jimmy Dore is one of today’s most important (and hilarious) voices. If you’re at all concerned about the direction this country, or world for that matter, is headed, I strongly urge you to listen to his podcast and read this book. You’ll learn a lot while you lol. But be forewarned. Jimmy doesn’t pull any punches. In a media landscape where most pundits are more concerned about what connections and back room deals they can parlay than actually telling us what’s really going on, Jimmy is only concerned about giving you the straight uncut truth. That is unless MSNBC offers him $30 grand A DAY to anchor an evening “news” show. But who can blame him, $30 grand A DAY can buy an awful lot of back room connections.
  • Hilarious and smart
