I could not put this book down any more than I could turn the television off during the Florida recount. Franken has provided illuminating, highly specific and in-depth coverage of the workings of the right wing media and the current government of the United States. He does so in an elegent combination of high quality humor and inspiring integrity. The book is a testament both to our First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech and to our need to protect it. A must read for anyone who cares about making a difference now and in the next election.
