2. Al gives a mean chair shot! Wonder if he learned that in his college

wrestling days?
:evilgrin:

5. I still can't quite grab ahold of the image of....

Al Fraken wrestling in college. Although it's easy to see him as the WWF Pro wrestler Al "Fightin Mad Jew" Fraken, I see a cape of stars-n-bars and a red,white and blue mask like Batman. I love his books but his radio show seems a bit flat.

3. Looking forward to it

Also have to get "The Party Album," from his show.

Eagerly waiting for Fran Lebowitz's book as well. Ticked that the bookstore person said Progress won't even be out until 2008, though...

Still, after the classic that was "Lies," anything from the good Mr. Franken should tide me over for a while.

4. Excerpts

AL FRANKEN ON…

IRAQ
They told us that when we invaded, we'd be greeted with sweets and flowers. They left out the crucial modifier: "exploding."

GAY MARRIAGE
George W. Bush wants to amend our Constitution to make it illegal for gays to marry. But evidently, he has no problem with terrorists getting married. America can't afford a president who is soft on terrorist marriage. Because unlike gays, terrorists can breed.

BILL FRIST DIAGNOSING TERRI SCHIAVO FROM 800 MILES AWAY
The FristCam Act of 2005 would place a video camera in every one of America's Intensive Care Units. The FristCams would pan the ICUs, and the Senate Majority Leader would give each patient a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down.

BUSH'S 9/11 BAIT AND SWITCH
Bin Laden must have been furious. Here he had gone to all this trouble to murder thousands of Americans, and Saddam—Saddam, the infidel!—was getting all the credit! Who was the head of al Qaeda?! Who was funding al Qaeda?! Somewhere along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border there was a very angry terrorist mastermind.

6. It seems like folks prefer Al writing to broadcasting on AAR

Is that a fair assessment?

7. YES!!!!!!! (n/t)
