I picked up Al Franken's book!
Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them (a Fair and Balanced Look at the Right)

It's sooooo funny. And true.

A quote, from the introduction:
(Al is having a conversation with God, comments by God are all caps, as in the book)

"Look, God, I'm flattered, but I think you got the wrong guy. The kind of book you're talking about would require months of research"
And God said, "LET THERE BE GOOGLE. AND LET THERE BE LEXISNEXIS."
"Very funny God. I use Google all the time."
"YES, I KNOW," God said. "FOR HOT ASIAN TEENS."
"You must be thinking of my son, Joe."
"AL? I'M OMNISCIENT."

2. Picked it up today too!
I've gotten through the first few chapters. Classic Franken. Found it at Waldenbooks. The clerk, a young woman, said "My dad asked me to pick this up for him". I said "I guess it's a bestseller already". She said "Really? This is the first one we've sold". I didn't remind her that it was located on the Current Best Seller Stand at the front of the store.
