Summary & Review:
Comedian and media personality Adam Carolla lays out his presidential campaign platform filled with gripes, observations, and solutions to some of the problems facing America today. Carolla focuses in particular on the rampant narcissism in our culture and the plague of broken families. Mixed in with serious analysis, Carolla offers a heavy does of comedic cynicism and sarcasm.
This was a pretty quick read. While Carolla did offer some sincere observations, most of the book was his humorous take on some of the ridiculous parts of American culture right now. Carolla leans somewhere between conservative and libertarian so I agreed with a lot of what he found wrong with our government and culture. He harped on over and over how broken families are at the heart of almost all of our social ills. I absolutely agree. Until children are raised in homes with intact marriages, i.e. a mother and a father, composed of parents who care about and love their children, we will continue to have issues especially in educational drop out rates, gang affiliation, poverty, and crime.
