Isn’t it time that we are told the insider TRUTH regarding the intentional and unintentional cover-ups made by the big boys in “Detroit.” An industry, the Auto Industry, driven by profits-over-principle according to many of its critics. Be prepared to buckle-up and enjoy this ride! This book is the first tell it like it is, of its kind!Why is it so difficult to tell the truth? Jason Vines starts this book with a simple question: why is it so difficult to tell the truth? Sadly, spoiler alert, he ends it with the same question.From Richard Nixon to Bill Clinton to Lance Armstrong to the IRS to Brian Williams to Bill Cosby to Tiger Woods and the NFL; why is it so painfully difficult?Vines cautions the reader up-front: “Relax, this is not a book about Jesus. However, he does appear in two chapters: first as a Hispanic grandfather from Waterford, Michigan, and later as the real Prince of Peace. No, this is a book about my life in the public relations blast furnace in the automotive industry; a quickly-derailed attempt to help a friend rebuild Detroit’s tattered image, thwarted by the sex, lies and corruption of former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick; and, finally, trying to avoid another crisis with the number one selling book of all time. No, not Harry Potter; the Bible.”

The Detroit News syndicated editorial cartoonist Henry Payne describes Jason Vines best: “This hilarious, profane, politically-incorrect, former automotive communications Jeep is an American original.” So when Payne created The Michigan View - a funny, un-PC, opinioned, commentary publication for The Detroit News in 2010, one of the first people he turned to as a columnist was Vines. This book is a hysterical compilation of the best of his more than 350 “Wisecracker” columns between 2010 and today.Jimmy Hoffa Called My Mom a Bitch! is broken up into various chapters of pure stupidity and satire: Stupid Democrats, Stupid Republicans, Stupid Atheists, Stupid Christians, Stupid Criminals, Stupid Policies, Stupid People and so on; from Detroit to Sacramento to Washington, D.C. to Kim Jong Ill’s North Korean insane asylum. No one is safe – not Bill and Hillary, President Obama, the Reverend Al Sharpton, Charlie Sheen, Michael Moore, Ted Cruz, Newt Gingrich; nor those wacky, smelly stoners at Occupy “Whatever.”The “Stupid Criminals” chapter contains one of Vines’ most popular columns. Issued June 29, 2010, “Globe Al Warming Gets Rubbed the Wrong Way,” hysterically takes on allegations that the former VP got inappropriately horny with female masseuse at a Portland, Oregon hotel; and Gore’s bizarre account of what “actually” happened. You won’t believe most of the stories in this book, although 83.5 percent of them are true. The remaining 16.5 percent are based on what Vines’ often calls his “incredibly unreliable and shaky, yet talkative” sources.
