Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off: The Yarn Harlot's Guide to the Land of Knitting Review










Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off: The Yarn Harlot's Guide to the Land of Knitting Overview



More tongue-in-cheek, laugh-out-loud observations on the world of knitting from the best-selling author and self-proclaimed "Yarn Harlot." Anyone who thinks knitting is for little old ladies hasn't met the Harlot. In her latest book�successor to her previous bestsellers At Knit's End, Knitting Rules!, and Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter�Stephanie Pearl-McPhee journeys deep into the land of those who are obsessed with yarn, needles, and what's on their needles now. Using a travel guide format, she describes and critiques every aspect of this territory she knows so well: its people (young and old, male and female), familiar phrases ("purl this, darn that"), strange beliefs, currency (skein trading), etiquette, holidays (any sale day at the local yarn shop), and customs. And, while the land of knitting is a mostly peaceful place, it does have its controversies, such as the acrylic vs. natural fibers and circular vs. straight needles debates, which Pearl-McPhee visits with relish and glee.

Spoiled Rotten America Review










Spoiled Rotten America Overview



Larry Miller is one of the most enduring and irresistible comic personalities at work today. Hundreds of stand�up appearances on Leno, Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and other TV shows, and his unforgettable roles in films as diverse as Pretty Woman and Best in Show have made Larry's acerbic wit and character (he calls himself "a founding member of the Cranky Nit�Pickers of America") a staple of the American comic diet. And in recent years he has gained a new, more political following, penning a regular humor column in The Weekly Standard and making frequent appearances with TV hosts such as Bill Maher and Dennis Miller.

Now, in Spoiled Rotten America, he fixes his gaze on the outrages of contemporary life�from "pop stars thinking deeply and sharing their thoughts"to "pillow�soft Americans who stop by the Pizza Hut before collapsing into the Wide�O�Lounger just in time to watch 22 pimple�faced steroid�eaters slam into each other at 14 miles an hour."

Mixing the political with the personal as deftly as P. J. O'Rourke or George Carlin, Larry Miller is today's new voice of outrage for the little guy�for "anyone who walks into the backyard at night, lifts a proud chin, and screams, 'I am not wrong!' before going back inside to resume getting quietly hammered while his wife sits in the next room watching figure skating."

Me Talk Pretty One Day Review










Me Talk Pretty One Day Overview



David Sedaris' move to Paris from New York inspired these hilarious pieces, including the title essay, about his attempts to learn French from a sadistic teacher who declares that "every day spent with you is like having a caesarean section". His family is another inspiration. "You Can't Kill the Rooster" is a portrait of his brother, who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers of food and cashiers with six-inch fingernails.





Me Talk Pretty One Day Specifications



David Sedaris became a star autobiographer on public radio, onstage in New York, and on bestseller lists, mostly on the strength of "SantaLand Diaries," a scathing, hilarious account of his stint as a Christmas elf at Macy's. (It's in two separate collections, both worth owning, Barrel Fever and the Christmas-themed Holidays on Ice.) Sedaris's caustic gift has not deserted him in his fourth book, which mines poignant comedy from his peculiar childhood in North Carolina, his bizarre career path, and his move with his lover to France. Though his anarchic inclination to digress is his glory, Sedaris does have a theme in these reminiscences: the inability of humans to communicate. The title is his rendition in transliterated English of how he and his fellow students of French in Paris mangle the Gallic language. In the essay "Jesus Shaves," he and his classmates from many nations try to convey the concept of Easter to a Moroccan Muslim. "It is a party for the little boy of God," says one. "Then he be die one day on two... morsels of... lumber," says another. Sedaris muses on the disputes between his Protestant mother and his father, a Greek Orthodox guy whose Easter fell on a different day. Other essays explicate his deep kinship with his eccentric mom and absurd alienation from his IBM-exec dad: "To me, the greatest mystery of science continues to be that a man could father six children who shared absolutely none of his interests."

Every glimpse we get of Sedaris's family and acquaintances delivers laughs and insights. He thwarts his North Carolina speech therapist ("for whom the word pen had two syllables") by cleverly avoiding all words with s sounds, which reveal the lisp she sought to correct. His midget guitar teacher, Mister Mancini, is unaware that Sedaris doesn't share his obsession with breasts, and sings "Light My Fire" all wrong--"as if he were a Webelo scout demanding a match." As a remarkably unqualified teacher at the Art Institute of Chicago, Sedaris had his class watch soap operas and assign "guessays" on what would happen in the next day's episode.

It all adds up to the most distinctively skewed autobiography since Spalding Gray's Swimming to Cambodia. The only possible reason not to read this book is if you'd rather hear the author's intrinsically funny speaking voice narrating his story. In that case, get Me Talk Pretty One Day on audio. --Tim Appelo

No longer in master Bertie's employ, Jeeves travels with his new employer, Lord 'Chuffy' Chuffnell, an old friend of Bertie's. True to form, thus follows a comedy of errors which is guaranteed to raise a smile, as Wooster himself travels to one of Chuffy's rental properties in Dorset to carry on his banjolele practice in (dubious) peace.

Don't Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Never- Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems Review










Don't Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Never- Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems Overview



The Indignities of Coach Class, the Torments of Low Thread Count, the Never-Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems

David Rakoff�s collection of autobiographical essays, Fraud, established him as one of our funniest, most insightful writers. In Don�t Get Too Comfortable, Rakoff journeys into the land of plenty that is contemporary North America. Rarely have greed, vanity, selfishness, and vapidity been so mercilessly and wittily portrayed.

Whether contrasting the elegance of one of the last flights of the supersonic Concorde with the good times and chicken wings of Hooters Air, portraying the rarified universe of Paris fashion shows where an evening dress can cost as much as four years of college, or traveling to a private island off the coast of Belize to watch a soft-core Playboy TV shoot, where he is provided with his very own personal manservant, David Rakoff takes us on a bitingly funny grand tour of our culture of excess, delving into the manic getting and spending that defines the North American way of life.

Somewhere along the line, our healthy self-regard has exploded into obliterating narcissism, and Rakoff is there to map that frontier. He sits through the grotesqueries of �avant garde� vaudeville in Times Square immediately following 9/11. Twenty days without food allows him to experience firsthand the wonders of �detoxification,� and the frozen world of cryonics, whose promise of eternal life is the ultimate status symbol, leaves him very cold indeed (much to our good fortune).

At once a Wildean satire of our ridiculous culture of overconsumption and a plea for a little human decency, Don�t Get Too Comfortable is a bitingly funny grand tour of our special circle of gilded-age hell.

Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington: Understanding Political Doublespeak Through Philosophy and Jokes (Recorded Books Unabridged) Review










Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington: Understanding Political Doublespeak Through Philosophy and Jokes (Recorded Books Unabridged) Overview



Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein, authors of the national bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar, aren�t falling for any election year claptrap�and they don�t want their readers to either! In Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington, our two favorite philosopher-comedians return just in time to save us from the double-speak, flim-flam, and alternate reality of politics in America.

Deploying jokes and cartoon as well as the occasional insight from Aristotle and his peers, Cathcart and Klein explain what politicos are up to when they state: �The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.� (Donald Rumsfeld), �It depends on what the meaning of the word �is� is.� (Bill Clinton), or even, �We hold these truths to be self-evident�� (Thomas Jefferson, et al).

Drawing from the pronouncements of everyone from Caesar to Condoleeza Rice, Genghis Kahn to Hillary Clinton, and Adolf Hitler to Al Sharpton. Cathcart and Klein help us learn to identify tricks such as �The Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy� (non causa pro causa) and the �The Fallacy Fallacy� (argumentum and logicam). Aristotle and an Aardvark is for anyone who ever felt like the politicos and pundits were speaking Greek. At least Cathcart and Klein provide the Latin name for it (raudatio publica)!

Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules Overview



From the #1 bestselling author of Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim comes a collection of the short stories David Sedaris loves most. Containing the work of both contemporary and classic writers, CHILDREN PLAYING BEFORE A STATUE OF HERCULES, edited and introduced by Sedaris, gives his legions of fans a glimpse at the writing he finds inspiring - and helps them discover the truth abut loneliness, hope, love, betrayal, and certain, but not all, monkeys.

David Sedaris fell in love with short stories while living in Odell, Oregon. Sedaris writes, "When apple-picking season ended, I got a job in a packing plant and gravitated toward short stories, which I could read during my break and reflect upon for the remainder of my shift. A good one would take me out of myself and stuff me back in, outsized, now, and uneasy with the fit." Featuring such notable writers as Alice Munro, Tobias Wolff, Lorrie Moore, and Joyce Carol Oates, readers will reconnect with classics, as well discover fantastic but lesser-known writers.

Included in CHILDREN PLAYING BEFORE A STATUE OF HERCULES are:

Introduction by David Sedaris

"Oh, Joseph, I'm So Tired" by Richard Yates

"Gryphon" by Charles Baxter

"Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri

"The Garden Party" by Katherine Mansfield

"Half A Grapefruit" by Alice Munro

"Applause, Applause" by Jean Thompson

"I Know What I'm Doing About All the Attention I've Been Getting" by Frank Gannon

"Where the Door Is Always Open and the Welcome Mat Is Out" by Patricia Highsmith

"The Best of Betty" by Jincy Willett

"Song of the Shirt, 1941" by Dorothy Parker

"The Girl with the Blackened Eye" by Joyce Carol Oates

"People Like That Are the Only People Here: Canonical Babbling in Peed Onk" by Lorrie Moore

"Revelation" by Flannery O'Connor

"In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson Is Buried" by Amy Hempel

"Cosmopolitan" by Akhil Sharma

"Irish Girl" by Tim Johnston

"Bullet in the Brain" by Tobias Wolff

Epilogue by Sarah Vowell

Borrowing the book's name from an Adriaen van der Werff painting, CHILDREN PLAYING BEFORE A STATUE OF HERCULES is David Sedaris's attempt to share his passion for short stories with a wider audience-and his enthusiasm is contagious. "The authors in this book are huge to me, and I am a comparative midget, scratching around in their collective shadow. 'Pint sized Fanatic Bowing Before Statues of Hercules' might have been more concise, but people don't paint things like that, and besides, it doesn't sound as good."

David Sedaris is publishing this book to support 826NYC, a nonprofit tutoring center in Brooklyn, New York. All of his proceeds, after permission expenses, from CHILDREN PLAYING BEFORE A STATUE OF HERCULES will benefit this organization designed to help students ages six to eighteen develop their writing skills through free writing workshops, publishing projects, and one-on-one help with homework and English-language learning. In the book's epilogue, Sarah Vowell describes the fine work done by 826NYC.

American Thighs: The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Preserving Your Assets Review










American Thighs: The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Preserving Your Assets Overview



Whether young enough to look �hot� or of the age to only feel that way (in flashes with buckets of sweat), every woman has given, or will give, ample thought to preserving her best �assets� (thighs included), so that the dread transition from �cute girl� to �ma�am� won�t be quite so unsettling.

Here are stories of growing up and learning about life � usually the hard way! From disastrous haircuts and color jobs to fashion or verbal faux pas committed, from the kiss wished for but never gotten to the one that should have been skipped, these are the moments that mark each of our journeys from what we thought back then to what we now know. Since to say that Youth is wasted on the Young has got to be the understatement of all time, it falls upon Browne, as one older and wiser, to take a �Hit and Run� down Memory Lane for the sake of offering �Asset-Preserving Tips,� with astonishing disclosures about:

� Why women have risked their lives just to get a little bit blonder
� How the muumuu has been fashionably resurrected as the �patio dress�
� Why it�s important to always have a good photo of yourself on hand � just in case
� How, no matter what skin you�re in, to make it last a lifetime
� Why you can never trust anyone over eighty-five

Interstate Audio- Comedy Volume 2 Overview



Journey back to a time when radio reigned supreme in the hearts and minds of most Americans. Enjoy four Comedy shows from the golden age of radio. 2 hours of rip-roaring comedy thrills.

CD1-

The Aldrich Family- The Barter System starring Ezra Stone and Jackie Kelk

Ezra Stone first starred as Henry Aldrich in Clifford Goldsmith s 1937 Broadway play What a Life. Stone reprised his Broadway role in skits on Rudy Vallee s Royal Gelatin Hour and The Kate Smith Hour before The Aldrich Family as the 1939 summer replacement for the Jack Benny Program. The Aldrich Family was awarded its own weeknight birth that fall, and was an immediate ratings powerhouse, achieving a mammoth Crossley rating of 33.4 in 1941. Henry answered his mother s call for 13 years on radio, with Stone voicing the title role through most of the run. Stone s understudy Norman Tokar, Dickie Jones and Raymond Ives filled in during Stone s World War II military service, while TV-Henry Bobby Ellis assumed the famous role for the final radio season. Jackie Kelk (who also costarred as Jimmy Olsen on Superman) costarred as Henry s friend Homer Brown through most of the run, with Johnny Fiedler, Jack Grimes, and Michael O Day taking over during the final 1952-53 radio revival.

Amos n Andy- Adoption Woes starring Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll-

Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll starred as Amos Jones and Andy Brown for a third of a century, creating serialized radio drama and later helping perfect the situation comedy. Inspired by serial nature of newspaper strips like The Gumps, Gosden and Correll set out to create a comic strip of the airwaves. The duo debuted as Sam n Henry on January 12, 1926 over the Chicago Tribune s WGN, and the 15 minute serial was relaunched as Amos n Andy when Gosden and Correll moved to WMAQ beginning March 19, 1928. The syndicated serial moved onto NBC network beginning August 19, 1929, and reigned as radio s most popular program for several years. During the early 1930 s, the nation virtually stopped for 15 minutes each day as a third of its citizens tuned into the comedic misadventures of Amos Jones, Andy Brown and the wily George Stevens, the Kingfish of the Mystic Knights of the Sea lodge. The daily serial left the airwaves on February 19, 1943, but the Amos n Andy show returned on October 8, 1943 as a weekly sitcom. The revamped half-hour series featured a large interracial cast that included such superb African-American performers as Lillian and Amanda Randolph, Eddie Green, Johnny Lee, Ernestine Wade and Oscar-winners Hattie McDaniel and James Baskett. In 1955, Gosden and Correll returned to a daily format with The Amos n Andy Music Hall, a disc jockey series that continued over the CBS airwaves through November 25, 1960.

CD2-

Fibber McGee & Molly- Back From Vacation- Unpacking starring Jim and Marion Jordan-

Fibber McGee and Molly starred the husband-and-wife team of Jim and Marion Jordan, who had first auditioned for radio in 1925 to win a bet with Jim s brother. The top-rated series by former cartoonist Don Quinn, who had first teamed up with the Jordans on their earlier Smackout series. During the first season, Fibber and Molly were portrayed as a middle-aged couple exploring America in their automobile, a format that provided plenty of opportunities to promote their sponsor s line of auto waxes. The McGees eventually settled down at their famous 79 Wistful Vista address, where their lives were continually interrupted by visits from their Wistful Vista neighbors.

The Great Gildersleeve- The Matchmaker starring Hal Peary

The Great Gildersleeve was radio s most-successful and longest-running spinoff, and pioneered the popular sitcom format of an inept single father figure raising children on his own.

Things I've Learned From Women Who've Dumped Me Overview



The Emmy award-winning former executive producer of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report has assembled a stellar lineup of men who have one thing in common: all have been dumped...and are willing to share their pain and the lessons learned.

Relationships end. And in almost all of them, even the most callow among us take something away. This is a book about that something, whether it be major life lessons, like "If you lie, you will get caught," simple truths like, "Flowers work," or something wholly unique like, "Watch out for the high strung brother in the military."
This anthology will be comprised of longer and shorter pieces, drawn from an array of impressive celebrities, writers and public figures. Some pieces may be a paragraph in length while others will be full-blown essays. All of them will be about that salient something men take away from a failed relationship. Yes, men learn.
This is not a touchy-feely book. This is not a self-help book. This is a book packed with smart, funny and insightful stories from men you probably thought never got dumped, or if they did, would never admit it.






Things I've Learned From Women Who've Dumped Me Specifications

100 Bullshit Jobs...And How to Get Them CD Review










100 Bullshit Jobs...And How to Get Them CD Overview



The scholarly discipline of Bullshit Studies has blossomed in the last several years, fertilized by a number of critical works on the subject and the growing importance of the issue across a wide range of professions. Now, best-selling author and lifelong practitioner Stanley Bing enters the field with a comprehensive look at the many attractive jobs now available to those who are serious about their bullshit and prepared to dedicate their working life to it.

What, Bing inquires, do a feng shui consultant, new media executive, wine steward, department store greeter, and Vice President of the United States have in common? What, too, are the actual duties performed by a McKinsey consultant? Other than sitting around making people nervous? Could that possibly be his core function? Likewise, what does an aromatherapist actually do, per se? Sniff things and rub them on people, for big fragrant bucks? Is that all?

The answer in all cases is "Yes." They all have bullshit jobs.

These few, of course, are just the beginning. Across the length and breadth of this shrinking globe, skillful bullshit artists have secured pleasant, lucrative employment, and are enjoying themselves more than you are. In virtually every occupation, from Advertising to Yoga Franchising, lucky individuals who "work" in these coveted positions enjoy the best lives imaginable -- they are paid well, they rarely break a sweat, and their professions are highly respected, because nobody really knows what they do.

At once funny, useful, and tolerably philosophical, this groundbreaking work takes a close look at 100 bullshit jobs -- the money they bring with them, the actual tasks and activities involved (if any), and famous and successful examples of each position, who will provide the neophyte with inspiration. Most crucially, Bing goes on to offer what others so far have not--a clear, concise strategy to help job-seekers at every level reach for that brass ring, knowing full well that it may be attached to the nose of a bull.

The Worst Case Scenario Handbook : Travel (Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbooks) Review










The Worst Case Scenario Handbook : Travel (Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbooks) Overview



Providing frightening and funny real information, this indispensable follow-up to the New York Times best-seller, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, continues as the definitive handbooks for those times when life (and travel) takes a sudden turn for the worse. Another essential companion for a perilous age. Because you never know...





The Worst Case Scenario Handbook : Travel (Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbooks) Specifications



Be very, very afraid. When you step through your door for an innocent excursion, grave danger awaits. You might be mugged; tied up; attacked by scorpions, piranhas, or tarantulas; trapped in a falling plane or elevator, a runaway train, a car on a cliff, a sandstorm, a riptide, or a riot. But now it's safe to take that vacation anyway. Just pack The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel, and you'll know what to do when you find yourself, say, leaping between rooftops: "Because you will not be moving fast, it is safe to roll head over heels, unlike jumping from a moving vehicle." Now you'll also know what not to do: never pick up a tarantula, as the spines on their abdomens are like little harpoons, and don't yank the reins of a runaway camel ("Pulling on the nose reins can tear the camel's nose--or break the reins"). You may have the sense, if a leech invades your air passage, to gargle with a 50 percent solution of 80-proof alcohol--but without this book, would you remember not to inhale?

In short, this is the most delightfully terrifying, all-true, laugh-out-loud hilarious book since the original Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, which covers such horrors as alligators and quicksand. Don't leave home without it! --Tim Appelo

The Suburban You: Reports from the Home Front Review










The Suburban You: Reports from the Home Front Overview



You are about to discover that living in the suburbs is a whole lot funnier than you ever thought possible. For this country�s 145,892,494 (give or take) suburbanites, Mark Falanga is an utterly deadpan (and thoroughly entertaining) spokesman.

Mark Falanga is a slick urban dweller, at the top of his game professionally, with a gorgeous corporate executive wife and a hip coterie in the coolest neighborhood in the city. But when baby makes three, Mark and his family enter the twilight zone called the suburbs, where public schools are good, many wives stay home, and children ride their tricycles in the driveway.

Nothing is the same ever again.

With the dry wit of David Sedaris, and Dave Barry�s love of the absurd, Falanga details his new, suburban landscape from the point of view of a bewildered but gung-ho everyman. From the complex political pecking order in the neighborhood, with its ultracompetitive block parties and its consuming holiday-card rivalry, to the surprises lurking on every corner�such as the twelve-year-old pyromaniac next door and the suspiciously broad-shouldered �lady� on the commuter train�The Suburban You describes in slyly understated prose the vicissitudes of life in the �burbs.

A Goomba's Guide to Life Overview



Attention would-be paesans: Can�t distinguish �gabagool� from �pasta fazool�? Not sure how to properly accessorize your track suit with gold chains? Does the phrase �go to the mattresses� make you sleepy? Now Steven R. Schirripa, The Sopranos� own Bobby Bacala, exposes the inner mysteries of this unique Italian-American hybrid in A Goomba�s Guide to Life so that anyone can walk, talk, and live like a guy �from the neighborhood.�

�ber-goomba Steve Schirripa shows how being a goomba made him what he is today, offering lessons learned on his own journey from Bensonhurst to Vegas, and to his current gig as Bobby Bacala on one of TV�s most popular shows. Along the way, he shares secrets that will help you get in touch with your own inner goomba. You�ll learn what music to enjoy (Sinatra, yes; Snoop Dogg, no), what movies to watch (Raging Bull, yes; Titanic, never), which sports to follow (baseball is good; golf and tennis, fuhgeddaboudit), and even tips on goomba etiquette. Ever wonder how a real goomba gets the best seat in the house? (Hint: It involves tipping, jewelry, and intimidation.) Schirripa even includes goomba do�s and don�ts (never, ever criticize a goomba�s mother or her gravy; always wear more jewelry than you think you need).

With knockout photographs of Schirripa and his compares, and insider information on how to think goomba, speak goomba, cook and eat goomba, and even how to behave at goomba weddings and funerals, A Goomba�s Guide to Life will show any wiseguy wannabe how to sing like a Soprano.

The Men Commandments Review










The Men Commandments Overview



'Women have Bridget Jones. Men have no one. Until now.' Ricky Gervais In the best-selling tradition of Clarkson and Moyles, this is TV and Radio personality Christian O'Connell's take on all things men. For ten years Christian has dispensed his wisdom and advice to millions of lucky radio listeners on every topic conceivable. It was when he saw his wife reading and laughing at a book 'How to Kill Your Husband' that he realised he had to write this book. In his sage opinion, men need to be saved from themselves. Women need to understand men better and stop hating them and men need to make sense of why they are they way they are. 'The Trouble With Men' reveals some hard but hilarious truths about the male race. Who do men actually look to for inspiration? The Hoff? Simon Cowell? James Blunt? Why do men behave in that odd way at barbecues? Why can a man have his heart broken a thousand times by his football team and yet still forgive them more than he would a woman? With his outspoken humour and his ironic take on life, Christian explores male-dom, celebrating all that is great about being a man and unravelling the mysteries of masculinity that have stumped women for centuries. Includes: / Superheroes -- all of them let us down. Here's why. / The Ultimate History of Men! from caves to Ikea. / The Man Test -- a highly unscientific flow chart to determine just how confused you are right now. / The Perfect Man -- if Apple designed men! / Men and Cooking -- the most important part of nutrition. TV snacks. / What We Want from Women -- show up naked. Bring beer. / Rules and Codes -- the unwritten, never discussed rules about how to behave in bathrooms, cars and out and about / Men and Sex -- 'touch them there and they love it.' / Imagine a World Without Us -- heaven or hell? / Communication -- friend and foe. / What's the Point of Us? -- enough with the slagging off. Here's what we rule at!

Dave Barry Does Japan Overview



Barry samples Japan's native cuisine ("things that have eyeballs or suckers or other flagrantly unacceptable organs still attached to them"); experiences the agonies of Kabuki and the ecstasies of karaoke; takes his first (and last) bath in public; and explores culture shock in all its humorous forms.






Dave Barry Does Japan Specifications



Is this comedic tour of Japan discreet, tasteful, or politically correct? The answer, thank god, is Naaah! Yet Dave Barry's travelogue never grows mean-spirited, and he's always ready to laugh at his own country--and by extension, himself. An example: "I understand that, even if two Japanese have worked together for many years, neither would dream of using the other's first name. Whereas Americans are on a first-name basis immediately, and by the end of the first day have generally graduated to 'Yo, Butthead!'"

The Rants Review










The Rants Overview



Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but, don't these radical religious right leaders scare you a little ? I'm not talking about good simple religious folk here. I empathize with you people. I know you're frightened. It looks like the bad guys are winning. And I know you want to do the good Christian thing and save some of the bad guys, but you're probably preaching to the unconvertible. This is a long trail ride, and occasionally a satanic heifer or two is gonna head over the ridge and go off on their own. Let them go. Quit trying to set God up on blind dates with people he has nothing in common with...

...Look, America has always been a violent country. Rent "Birth of a Nation " if you doubt that. But nowadays we've gone off the Richter scale. I can remember when I was a kid leaving our screen door unlocked at night. I can remember going to the playground and my mother worrying about me getting hurt on the swings, not me getting snatched and duct-taped into the trunk of some loser's Trans Am...

Dennis Miller is here, folks, and he takes no prisoners. Whether the subject is dope-addled baseball players, do-nothing politicians, or the nation's resigned acceptance of violence as a way of American life, Miller's monologues are funny and angry. More significantly, they shatter the conventions of comedy by simultaneously making us laugh, think, and seethe.

Here at last is a collection of more than a dozen of his favorite invigorating and thought-provoking rants that showcasing Miller's singular point of view.

Of course, they're just his opinions. He could be wrong.
