Little, Brown and Company, 2007
Awesome! Great Gift.
+ Funny! + Brilliant satire

New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer 177 reviews Bill Maher
Rodale Books, 2006
Very Funny in a Realistic Way

The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn't 32 reviews Cliff Schecter
PoliPoint Press, 2008
One And McSame
+ Well researched and documented, preaching to the converted + A Smear Job, but a decent one
