Mostly Harmless
Douglas Adams
Del Rey, 2000
Mostly satisfying
+ Panic
+ Are We There Yet?
The unfortunately final entry in the Hitchhiker's Guide series is also perhaps the best.
There are some grounds for complaint. Adams' summarily writing out Fenchurch was disappointing, though necessary to make this story work. And the ending is decidedly bleak--yes, even worse than when Arthur ...

Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right
Al Franken
Dutton Adult, 2003
Stays with you
+ To Those Wondering About Franken's Credibility
I enjoyed this book, and found myself laughing out loud at some of the well-researched anecdotes. The main point of the book, obviously, is that the Bush administration, with its close ties to various conservative mouthpieces, consists of habitual liars who continue to try to pull fast ones on the ...

Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics
Anonymous, Joe Klein
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2006
good novel about a scandal-filled presidential campaign
+ good read, especially at this time
This novel was based on a presidential primary campaign from the 1990's. It follows the campaign of a southern governor who is smart, inspirational, and surrounded by personal scandal. What is does well: it creates a realistic view of the excitement, frenzy, idealism, and cynicism of a presidential ...

Ann Coulter
Crown Forum, 2004
I actually read the book

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R224FEPDV6YT2Z Coulter's right, liberals really do lie. The first lie liberals tell is that they are not really liberal, but that hardly stands up to much scrutiny, because a true liberal will throw a tantrum once their "facts" are revealed to be ...

Stupid White Men
Michael Moore
Penguin Books Ltd, 2004
RIght - Right -Right
+ IT'S STILL THE ECONOMY, STUPID PART II
+ I think Micheal Moore is Right
He was 100% right on everything. Time is the true judge and it show Michael 100% right about Bush. He picked his buddy to run government. How many have resigned, been indicted, be convicted? Remember FEMA and Katrina?
