lying liars, and the liars who tell them.

if your able to absorb and either agree or disagree with his points of view, you will enjoy the book.

if you are like most of the people on the right and blinded by the sun, you will not like his humor or his book.

i expect to hear primarily from right wingers who will not have read his book but will be able to, sight unseen, critizise everything in the book.

and that's why little w might get elected again.

Haven't had the opportunity to read it yet.

I am a Bush supporter but I don't mind other points of view. I love watching the Daily Show on Comedy Central. Jon Stewart certainly takes jabs a the pres (but also the the Dem candidates). Not much gets me rattled politically anymore. I think everyone is entitled to thier points of view...

I find Franken very funny, and enjoy the way he researches. I have a copy if anyone wants to read it.

One World Order...

that has been the agenda and on the plate for many a years now... first heard it spoken in public from Bush Senior back in his day... before it was talk of League of Nations.. only then when GB Senior spoke this outloud.. that is what is truth... when this comes about you better have your **** together no matter where or what your at in state of affairs...

Hog

btw Alan Key's is also a good one to read...

the man has his **** together!!!!!

Rick, don't know about the NWO other then wrestling.. but OWO is an agenda by the league of nations...

and it is also strongly writen in the good book about what to watch out for... it doesn't come right out and say OWO... but many people know what it is....

I care about the political opinions of comedians even less than than I do those of actors and musicians.

I’ve never understood why celebrities seem to think that their opinion matters anyway. If anyone could show me a correlation between fame and wisdom/intelligence I would love to see it. Most of the outspoken celebs out there have less than or up to a high school education at best. (and no, acting school does not count toward higher education.)

I may consider wiping it with Al Frankin's stupid hair... But only after a really nasty ****, the kind that pours out like water and explodes and leaves a nasty mess that's tough to get off with several flushes...

Funny and well written with solid clearly stated agruments and at times shocking with it's points, and very well researched. I think that it almost becomes a diatribe against Frankens nemisi, O'Reilly, and Coulter, (not to mention President Bush whom he seems to love catching in, the name sake of the book, lies. There are some definate slow spots in the book with long winded stories that don't seem to really fit in with the book's structure and it could have been better were it 100 pages shorter. However this book has become a socio-polital standard, regardless of what side you are on, and those who disregard its importance are only staking a claim to ignorance.

I know all about Franken and still do not like him! How many of you know that he wrote the screen play for the movie "When a Man Loves a Woman" with Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia?

Yes, he is a smart man, but is a slight bit leveraged to the far left! Do I agree with him, No, and will I read his book, NO!

I do my best not to limit my reading material to material which mirriors my own views, which Franken does not. If I did that, it would be closeminded. Closeminded people brought us the crusades, Nazi Germany, and the Taliban.

Personally, I find Al Franken to be pretty funny. He's almost as funny as Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Miller and Bill Maher. When I hear any of these political commentators or satirists speak it usually cracks me up. I love political humor and I really don't care which way it cuts. BTW, I know that Rush isn't trying to be funny but that's usually the way it hits me.

When it comes to real information I tend to discount all the crap that these guys spew out. They're frickin' entertainers and that's it. Just like all the Hollywood folks that like to dabble in politics.

65GTOMAN,

I read just about everything. Have been a prolific reader, since I was in my grade school days. In High School, I repeatedly tested at 1800 wpm with a 90% retention rate. I read an average of 4 new books a week, and reread, a book that I have read before, usually go through 2 a week, every night to fall asleep, so I don't get wrapped up in it, and try to finish it, and lose sleep. LOL

I really am unfamiliar, with Savage, and I would be glad to read his work. If you have a copy, you would like to part with, I would love to have it.
