Bill is a great example of what good satire can do: draw blood and belly laughs at the same time. He writes in the book that his mantra for the editorials is “just don’t be earnest.” But that doesn’t mean there’s no conviction in them. In fact, they're allconviction — and deeply funny. His passion for the truth means he makes fun of both sides. “I’m sure I’ve lost fans over the years for not toeing the line they wished I would toe; I do not miss them,” he writes. “This show is not for them. My show, and this book, is for those with an open mind and those who recognize that, especially now, there’s ample crazy on both sides.” He knows that the dangers of each side are not equal, but that his goal is to “break through the bubbles” on both the right and the left.
