In fact, I think I like him better as an author than as a talk show host.

they are red. Barnes & Noble is blue
(and I like him better as an author, too. his writing is sharp as hell, but his timing is a little off for stand up or radio hosting)

3. Barnes and Noble or Borders... |
|
Borders is apolitical, and I've noticed that liberal books seem to get much more prominent display at Borders.

5. I'll check it out from the library. |
|
But, yeah, I love Franken's books. I read "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot," then listened to the book-on-CD, read by Franken. Funnily, it was even better that way.

6. Yes, and buy it from Buzzflash. |
|
It'll cost you a few bucks extra, but that goes to their site and they ship really fast. I haven't seen it listed yet, but I'm sure they'll offer it soon.
I read "Lies and the Lying Liars" in two sittings. I remember reading part of it in Starbucks one day and laughing out loud many times. People must have been looking at me funny.

I having a sneaking feeling it will be the "Dude, Where's My Country?" to "Stupid White Men". "Lies" being "Stupid White Men" in this case. I hope I'm wrong though. "Lies" was a great read. Operation Chickenhawk II was one of the most brilliant things I've ever read.

I really don't like him as a radio host, he's kind of slow on his feet and ack, boring :-( As a comedian and writer though, he's brilliantly funny!
