Like the massively bestselling Rick Mercer Report: The Book, Rick's newest collection brings together his weekly "rants," interview excerpts and other choice items from his show, chosen from all of those broadcast since RMR went to press. But instead of the blog items and brief commentaries that graced the previous collection, this one contains a much more attention-grabbing set of entirely new, 3,000-word pieces by Rick, including a hilarious behind-the-scenes account of his bungee-jump with Rick Hansen, his reflections on the "vote mob" response to his call for students to vote, and his moving reflections on the rant that has meant the most to him, on the suicide of bullied gay teenager Jamie Hubley.
     The book's title is also the name of a new speech that Rick will be giving at private dinners and corporate and charity gatherings across Canada for the forseeable future. The book and the speech share a name but will contain quite different material. Rick has a LOT to rant about.
