I thought so highly of this book, while scanning it in the bookstore, I almost bought a copy. Then I regained my fiscal sanity and passed on it. Can't wait til the day I get out of college, starts making money, and be able to afford luxuries like spending $30 on a fiction.
tonight's Daily Show correspondent segment deals with Elgin, Texas you know that crappy little town between Houston and Austin on 290 where the speed limit goes down to 30mph.
Indeed, but at least Elgin has some redeeming characteristics - Giddings only redeeming characteristic is the view on the way out of there. To get this back on track - Stewart has always seemed deceptively smart to me. He comes across on the show as a goofy host, so it seems as though he's not all there - but then somebody will come in spouting the party talking points and Stewart will half-self-deprecatively tear them apart.
Too true! Although the book is very funny, Stewart is deadly serious in a lot of what he has to say. It's funny in that "I can't believe this happens in America" kind of way.
so is it just a whole book bashing bush the way the Daily Show does? or does it look at both sides? not that the Daily Show isn't hilarious, and not that Jon Stewart isn't hilarious, but it can get a bit tiring. it's like watching bill maher, except it's funny.
