Book Details


Table of Contents

Part one. The next president of the United States. I'm not geared to total acceptance
I knew we were in trouble
I discovered I had to talk
Are there any groups we haven't offended?
You can't do better than capacity
A pretty good exercise
My life has no dissolves
I'm still in business
The meaning of the word loyalty
Part two. Anyway, onward. The nation's conscience
A vast spirit of pessimism
Uncontaminated by reason
I have met my dream girl
Why am I the only one?
The loyal opposition
Who the enemy is
More comedians, less humor.
