1. I hope it's as good as his other books.

I liked the last one...

In fact, I think I like him better as an author than as a talk show host.

2. Cool. But Not From Amazon

they are red. Barnes & Noble is blue

(and I like him better as an author, too. his writing is sharp as hell, but his timing is a little off for stand up or radio hosting)

3. Barnes and Noble or Borders...

Borders is apolitical, and I've noticed that liberal books seem to get much more prominent display at Borders.

4. Whatever.

I'm getting the Palm version.

5. I'll check it out from the library.

But, yeah, I love Franken's books. I read "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot," then listened to the book-on-CD, read by Franken. Funnily, it was even better that way.

6. Yes, and buy it from Buzzflash.

It'll cost you a few bucks extra, but that goes to their site and they ship really fast. I haven't seen it listed yet, but I'm sure they'll offer it soon.

I read "Lies and the Lying Liars" in two sittings. I remember reading part of it in Starbucks one day and laughing out loud many times. People must have been looking at me funny.

7. I wish he'd announce he's running for the senate already. nt.

8. Nah

I having a sneaking feeling it will be the "Dude, Where's My Country?" to "Stupid White Men". "Lies" being "Stupid White Men" in this case. I hope I'm wrong though. "Lies" was a great read. Operation Chickenhawk II was one of the most brilliant things I've ever read.

9. I am

I really don't like him as a radio host, he's kind of slow on his feet and ack, boring :-( As a comedian and writer though, he's brilliantly funny!
