A funny book for a gag gift, October 13, 2009
This review is from: 888 Reasons to Hate Republicans: An A to Z Guide to Everything Loathsome About the Party of the Arrogant Rich (Paperback)
At last, there is a book that reveals the honest truth about our political system. Barbara Lagowski and Rick Mumma have produced a simply wonderfully insightful book entitled "888 Reasons to Hate Republicans" with the subtitle "An A to Z Guide to Everything Loathsome About the Party of the Arrogant Rich."
The book provides readers with great wisdom. Some of its humor is hilariously thoughtful, such as the observation that Republicans "would rather outfit the family in acid rain-proof L.L. Bean "barn coats" than place intrusive regulations on the smokestacks of America." Other observations are not quite up to snuff. Still, this is a fun joke book that would make a great gift for Democratic friends or to irritate your favorite Republicans
A major criticism is the research is horribly sloppy. Authors who limit themselves to only 888 reasons to hate Republicans have obviously not spent the proper amount of time delving into their subject. In this respect, this book turns out to be a major disappointment.
This book has major limitations preventing me to fully recommend it. Failing to do more with such an obvious topic places it primarily in the "gag gift" category

And Another Waste of Money, December 18, 1999
This review is from: 888 Reasons to Hate Republicans: An A to Z Guide to Everything Loathsome About the Party of the Arrogant Rich (Paperback)
This is another uncreative, unfunny list - a jumble of isolated words and quotations that are intended to bring laughter (I suppose) but which quickly become tedious and oppressive.
A real waste of time and money as is its companion volume - 888 reasons to Hate Democrats.
