As a comedian and the host of Red Eye, whip-smart funny Tom Shillue grounds his ideas about our current culture and political climate in stories from his childhood. Growing up as one of five kids in a devout Irish Catholic family in a small town outside of Boston, Tom sincerely believes that the rough-and-tumble, rules-dominated world in which he came of age was a better America - a time and place that made him into the well-adjusted, happy, successful man he is today. In Mean Dads for a Better America, Tom reminisces about his childhood, his family, and the traditional values he cherishes. He takes us back to a time when neighbors disciplined each other's children, without fear of being sued. When kids made it to the family table for dinner, when parents' rules were gospel, when the occasional fistfight was considered a fair way to solve a problem, and when children were free to roam, make mistakes, and experience the first tastes of independence. On Red Eye, Tom debates, debunks, and entertains his panel of guests and audience with his hilarious approach to issues of the day. Here, he brings that talent and wisdom to this memoir, tackling the issues that confound many Americans, like our hypersensitive culture and overzealous parenting. As Tom celebrates the stability of family life and the sanity of days gone by, he encourages us to hold on to our sense of humor and look back at our own lives, as we work towards creating a better future for ourselves and our kids, all while making us laugh. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Shillue, Tom. 650 0 Comedians|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Television personalities|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Irish American families|zMassachusetts. 650 0 Families|zMassachusetts. 700 1 Shillue, Tom. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11876838?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ hpc_9780062675538_180.jpeg
