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

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.
