Book: Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

By Al Franken. Funny ass book. Franken has an expert way of presenting issues. He's basically on a fact-checking mission here. The premise of his book is to catch politicians in lies. He gives a good setup, tries to assume they weren't lying, shows how he researched, concludes that they were lying and then makes some really funny jokes about it. Heather and I have been listening to it on long drives. We always get a good chuckle out of it. He's got Team Franken, a bunch of Harvard students who he's convinced to do his research. Adds credibility to his fact checking. I guess.
