I never buy books like this one but did this time. I enjoyed if very much. It had me laughing out loud as I read it and people would look at me funny.lol

David Brenner is a well-known comedian of course, but his
book goes beyond quick humor. He also displays a formitable
intelligence and the ability to honestly analyze our everyday
situations, including our problems with national security,
diversity, race relations, language, etc., all while having
fun, and he is able to convey in his book both that intelligence and humor.
Given his reputation as a quick-witted humorist on TV, and in
clubs, his down-to-Earth ability to grasp our most basic concerns is both surprising and enlightening.
Brenner does a first-class job of entertaining the reader with
this book, while also addressing mundane concerns. He has
a very funny book that nearly everyone will enjoy.

Brenner is funny and insightful -- always has been -- and this book is a continuation of his previous memoir/humor books. I was stopped cold by his gushing over George W. Bush -- especially after he spends a considerable amount of time illustrating the President's extreme difficulty is making impromptu intelligent statements. It is uncharacteristic of Brenner to produce fawning praise over the President's ability to read a speechwriter's phrase. That aside, it is timely and funny.

Customers considering buying this book need to know that it should carry an "R" rating. Funny, yes, but definitely not for a "G" rated mind. Wish I had been warned.
