Soc Sec Expert Says Conason is On the Mark!
I worked as an expert on US Social Security policy for 7 years in Washington, DC: 4 years at the Social Security Administration (Office of Policy) and 3 years as assistant director of Social Security policy research for a non-partisan Washington, DC non-profit organization. (Type "Kelly Olsen and Social Security" into any search engine if you're unconvinced that I know what I'm talking about ...

I laughed till I cried, and then I cried
Being a member of a 12-Step Program and having endured many well meaning attempts at guided meditation, I thought I would "bust a gut" the first time I started listening to this tape. For all that I laughed, the ending is truly Adult Child work, and it moves me to tears every time I listen. In fact it is one of those "non conference approved" aids that I recommend to those I sponsor.

Painfully Funny, and (at times) Just Painful
Al Franken's books are generally wonderful. They're funny, informative and insightful. This one also happens to be devastating. It's a chronicle of George W. Bush's 2004 re-election campaign, and some of the lower lights of the Republican party during the early part of that term, including players in the campaign in Iraq. I consider myself a conservative (though I'm really more of a ...

A backstage guide to SNL
A long, long time ago Saturday Night Live was simply Saturday Night. John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Chevy Chase were among the cast-members. Elliot Gould, Richard Pryor, and Paul Simon were all guest stars. This book chronicles the first 2 seasons of SNL. It features interviews, scripts, pictures, and other miscellaneous information about the show that gave us all a reason to ...

Al Franken is very funny.
This is the 1st audiobook I bought by Al Franken. I think hearing him reading his book is better than reading the physical book. I just wish it was unabridged, because the paper book has even more funny stories.

I Can Enjoy This Book
I have read all of Al Franken's books up to this point with the exception of this one. I had been a fan of Franken since his days of Saturday Night Live, particularly his Stuart Smalley character. This book further demonstrates the depth and intelligence of his humor. The book is very similar to the movie based on it (Stuart Saves His Family). Having already seen the movie, I was anticipating ...

From someone who ACTUALLY read the book...
Beautiful book...this ought to be required reading for anyone interested in modern American politics. Some of the other "reviews" here just don't give the impression that they actually read this book and if they did probably skimmed it and didn't comprehend what they were reading...or just read it with their right-wing propoganda goggles on which is basically like not reading it at all. Franken ...

Laugh out Loud Funny
I read this book and could not stop laughing. Al Franken was more comic then and just beginning to talk about politics. It deals with Rush Limbaugh and the shout show personalities. It also talks about the hypocracy of the then Republican Family Values platform. Especially considering the marital track records of prominent republicans at the time like Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole. And who can ...

How did this happen?
I love most everything Al Franken has done-- SNL, books, radio. AL:so really liked the other Air America CD " The O'Franken factor". Which makes this CD all the more puzzling. It has maybe one clever and somewhat funny track, the Bill O'Reilly war story. The rest of the tracks are, puzzling. They're so unfunny you wonder how they got recorded for posterity. There's 11 minutes of a ...

Oh, the Puzzling Poor Reviews You'll Read
If you're expecting one of Franken's biting political satires, you'll be disappointed. If you're expecting Stuart Smalley, you'll be disappointed. If you have no expectations whatsoever, and your sense of humor is even remotely in tune with Franken's, you'll have a blast (plan on a) chuckling a lot, b) laughing hysterically only slightly less, and c) even (who knew?) being moved from time to ...

Give it a rest, you haters!
Al Franken is a satirist and comedian. He's meant to use satire and irony. If you don't like it...too bad! Besides, Al Franken would never tell people to "shut up" or tell them "get outta my studio before I tear you to f**king pieces!" like O'Reilly did. By the way, why do you right-wingers never actually give REASONS for why conservative issues are important? You just put down liberal ...
