Make Common Sense Common Again: Exploring Current Events in the Age of Mass Confusion

Has the United States gone insane? Considering the political circus of recent years, the easy answer is "yes." But John Sheirer looks deeper to identify the underlying confusion and show us the core American values that can overcome the insanity, let us laugh at ourselves, and find common sense solutions to our nation's confusion. We don't expect political commentary to come in the form of compelling literature, but Sheirer's gentle wit, knowledge of the issues, compassion for his fellow humans, and highly tuned B.S. detector lift this book from being just another partisan rant to a literate and readable examination of our shared citizenship and humanity. "John Sheirer brings an everyman's approach to any number of issues. Like reading your favorite comic strip first, John's columns take priority over everything else on the Op-Ed page, always making sharp and compelling points without resorting to the sledgehammer techniques of others." - Bob Flaherty, Morning Host, WHMP-96.9 FM, 2014 New England Radio Personality of the Year, Author of novel "Puff"
