Duck!: The Dick Cheney Survival Bible

Although this book wraps a comedic cover on some of the topics it brings up, it brings up serious problems with the U.S. Government. I found it valuable because I learned a lot of damaging info about Mr. Cheney and hadn't even after doing a huge amound of research on the U.S. Government (for my hopefully soon to be published book on the U.S. Gov.) I wouldn't recommend this book as a present for someone unless they are into politics or already know who Mr. Cheney is. It's not a good place to start for learning about the U.S. government either (and yes I know that wasn't the purpose of this book.)

Some days, the news is unbearably depressing, but Duck gave me a nice post-news escape. And a bundle of laughs, too. (My favorite part was the books in Dick Cheney's library, like "A Farewell to Arms Inspectors" and "Eats, Shoots and Leaves.") It did raise the question about knowing whether to laugh or cry, but laughing definitely won out. Until I had to read the news again, the next day.

Gene Stone's book about Dick Cheney is so funny it is ALMOST worth having Cheney in office for the sheer pleasure of laughing so hard. Not only is it a smart book, but it assumes the reader is smart, too, which is rare these days. It reminds me a little of Jon Stewart on his good days--responsible citizenry through humor. This book would be a great gift for anyone who shudders at the idea of...Jeb.

Stone takes aim with his stinging humor, and hits the mark. Let's hope that Cheney follows Whittington's lead and apologizes to Stone!

A great gift book for, well, anyone who's ever had a vice president. Funny, clever and not too nasty, you'll laugh, roll your eyeballs, and reach for your flak jacket. This book may just realize the impossible and finally unite the Republicans and Democrats in common cause--and take guns away from Dicks.
