Book Overview
Since 1962, Art Buchwald has been by our side through the great tragicomedy of American life-cracking jokes, pestering politicians, and sharing his wisdom. A pain in the neck to every president from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush, Buchwald knows irony when he sees it, and he sees it almost everywhere-in Bush, Clinton, drug companies, tax cuts, class relations, and Viagra. With this new collection of columns, he reminds us that in this crazy world, at least we can look forward to the next good laugh.

Find humor in the absurd;and we can all laugh.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
If you've liked Art in the past, you'll enjoy this collection of his columns.Although published in 2003;there are a lot of old pieces dating back to 1991.His columns on everyday observations remain funny,but the political stuff has lost its luster.His columns on "Expert Witness" and "Suite Revenge" are typical of Art's wonderful humor. Columns about Clinton,Starr,Lewinsky,Whitewater,Tripp,Gore and others make pretty dull reading today.Even Viagra humor is becomming dated. Maybe what we can see from this book is that we have lost a lot of the good wit and humor we enjoyed in the days of Skelton,Carney & Gleason,Bunker,Carson,Laurel & Hardy,Hope,etc.These artists didn't have to resort to vulgarity and personal attack to get a laugh,and maybe it's time to return to real humor.Thanks,Art,you gave us a lot of good laughs.
simple, elegant humor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
In a remarkable journey, often nostalgic, Art is able to provide a sense of introspection through humor. Nobody escapes his treatment - senate, congress, diplomats, lobbyists, FBI, supreme court, presidents, talking heads, and the average "Joe". Often mixed with gentle irony, each "snippet" makes a point elegantly. His reflections on the Sep 11 tragedy is moving. The changing scenario with respect to homeland security and the new "thought processes" in Washington provides an opportunity to see the sometimes illogical aspects of our new lives. Overall, an excellent collection, reminding once again why Art is such a beloved personality in the newspaper world for such a long time. A must-read.
