"Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the
Left"
by Al Franken (E.P. Dutton; (August 29, 2003) ISBN: 0525947647) is #2 on
the
New
York Times Bestseller list for nonfiction. It was number 1 last week,
and
has
been on the list for 6 weeks.

While you may not like or appreciate Franken's brand of left-leaning
humor
and
satire, hitting the number two spot on the NYT Bestseller list is no mean
feat--and it's the kind of counterexample I referred to.

Also (since I seem to be on a roll here), the number 4 spot is held by
that
darling of Conservative America (NOT), Molly Ivins, with her
"Bushwacked."
This
is her first week on the list, so it will be interesting to see where her
book
goes.

OB. BOAT CONTENT:

I got nothing.

(Joke follows. Install sense of humor now

Could it be that there are a lot of liberal books on the NYT best seller
lists
because the typical conservative already blew his or her entire book
budget for
the year buying "Treason" by A. Coulter, and it will take them from now
until
the 2004 elections to sound out the bigger words?


Perhaps. But thanks to the Bush tax rebate, we were able to buy enough
copies of "Who's Looking Out for You?" to make it #1.
