- Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right
- by Al Franken
For the first time since his own classic Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations, Al Franken trains his subversive wit directly on the contemporary political scene. Now, the "master of political humor" (Washington Times) destroys the myth of liberal bias in the media, and exposes how the Right shamelessly tries to deceive the rest of us.
No one is spared as Al uses the Right's own words against them. Not the Bush administration and their rhetorical hypocrisy. Not Ann Coulter and her specious screeds. Not the new generation of talk-radio hosts, and not Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, and the entire Fox network. This is the book Al Franken fans have been waiting for (and his foes have been dreading). Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always funny, Lies is sure to become the most talked about book of political humor in 2003 and beyond.
- The Price of Loyalty: George W. Bush, the White House and the Education of Paul O'Neill
- by Ron Suskind (Author), Edward Herrmannnnnnnn (Reader)
This vivid, unfolding narrative is like no other book that has been written about the Bush presidency-or any that is likely to be written soon. At its core are the candid assessments of former U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, for two years the administration's top economic official, a principal of the National Security Council, and a tutor to the new President. He is the only member of Bush's innermost circle to leave and then to agree to speak frankly about what has really been happening inside the White House.
Downsize This!
- by Michael Moore
Moore gets under the skin of corporate giants, politicians, lobbyists, and the media--anyone who has made life tougher
for the millions of Americans who are working longer hours for less pay and have had enough. Moore brings his wit and
working-class voice to a public desperate to save what's left of their American dream.
Stupid White Men ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!
- by Michael Moore
Stupid White Men, Michael Moore's screed against "Thief-in-Chief" George Bush's power elite, hit No. 1 at Amazon.com within days of publication. Why? It's as fulminating and crammed with infuriating facts as any right-wing bestseller, as irreverent as The Onion, and as noisily entertaining as a wrestling smackdown. Moore offers a more interesting critique of the 2000 election than Ralph Nader's Crashing the Party (he argued with Nader, his old boss, who sacked him), and he's serious when he advocates ousting Bush.
Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot : And Other Observations
- by Al Franken
- Okay, let's be honest. Rabid fans of television and radio commentator Rush Limbaugh
won't like this book. Fans of left-leaning satirist Al Franken, on the
other hand, will probably love it. In Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot,
Franken takes on the conservative Right in a collection of essays in which
the author's own satire often plays straight man to the greater absurdities
of political life.

Sex, Drugs & Economics
- by Diane Coyle
Coyle, an economist, author, and journalist, sets out to explain economics as a method for thinking about any subject--marriage, sports, and even sex. She provides a checklist of rules to remember in order to think like an economist: for example, everything has a cost, things always change, supply and demand work, there is no easy profit, prices make the best incentives, people do what they want when common sense and economics conflict, and common sense is wrong.

The Blair Witch Project
- Anyone who has even the slightest trouble with insomnia after
seeing a horror movie should stay away from The Blair Witch Project--this
film will creep under your skin and stay there for days. Credit for the
effectiveness of this mock documentary goes to filmmakers Daniel Myrick
and Eduardo Sanchez, who armed three actors (Heather Donahue, Michael
Williams, and Josh Leonard) with video equipment, camping supplies, and
rough plot outlines. They then let the trio loose into the Maryland woods
to improvise and shoot the entire film themselves as the filmmakers
attempted to scare the crap out of them.
Yellow Submarine - pure delight, a phantasmagorical animated feature with as much to hear as there is to see: Beatles'
songs, puns, non sequitur jokes combined with surreal pop-art visions in story of Beatles trying to save pepperland from the Blue Meanies.
Unique, refreshing. Songs include ``Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,'' ``When I'm Sixty-four,''
``All You Need Is Love. ''

AVP - Alien Vs. Predator
In delivering PG-13-rated excitement, Alien vs. Predator is an acceptably average science-fiction action thriller with some noteworthy highlights, even if it squanders its opportunity to intelligently combine two popular and R-rated franchises. Rabid fans can justifiably ask "Is that all there is?" after a decade of development hell and eager anticipation, but we're compensated by reasonably logical connections to the Alien legacy and the still-kicking Predator franchise (which hinted at AVP rivalry at the end of Predator 2); some cleverly claustrophobic sets, tense atmosphere and impressive digital effects; and a climactic AVP smackdown that's not half bad. This disposable junk should've been better, but nobody who's seen Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil should be surprised by writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson's lack of imagination. As a brisk, 90-minute exercise in generic thrills, however, Anderson's work is occasionally impressive... right up to his shameless opening for yet another sequel.
Dutch
This movie is an original masterpiece!!! I have not seen the DVD but I have watched this film over million times since I the first time I had set eyes on it back in 1993. Ed O'Neil plays the hardworking, white-collar boyfriend who tries to befriend his girlfriend's son through a series of comical events. The story takes an unexpected twist (I won't say where)and what was a mile-high ride settles back into reality. I really thought this movie was awesome and being a fan of "Married With Children" you get to actually see O'Neil do something a little different, on the lighter side. If you liked the original "Home Alone" genre you don't want to miss this one!!!!
Gilmore Girls - The Complete First & Second Seasons
A very atypical mother-daughter relationship is at the center of Gilmore Girls, a comedy-drama that immediately set itself apart from the herd with smarter-than-smart dialogue and an endearing mix of whimsical comedy and family drama. Set in the Capra-esque burg of Stars Hollow, where everybody knows everyone and eccentrics abound, Gilmore Girls was less a mother-daughter show and more of a screwball buddy comedy in which the two buddies happened to be parent and child. Pregnant at 16, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) left her rich parents to bring up her daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel) on her own terms; when Rory herself turns 16, Lorelai wants to send her academically gifted daughter to the prestigious Chilton school. The catch is, Lorelai can't afford it on her own, and rather than let Rory go without, the elder Gilmore girl brokers an uneasy truce with her parents (Edward Herrmann and Kelly Bishop), who finally get a chance to bond with their granddaughter while financing her education.

Chekov's Enterprise : A personal Journal of the Making of Star Trek : The Motion picture
by Walter Koenig
- The most interesting, revealing and intriguing Star Trek book I've ever read. Clearly, a diamond in the rough.
Koenig keeps none of his thoughts secret in this autobiographical account, penned during the filming of the first Star Trek film. His sardonic
wit makes this a romp of a read.
The Majors : In pursuit of Golf's Holy Grail
by John Feinstein - As much a force of nature in sporting pursuits as John Grisham is on lawyers or Steven King is on the weird, the dauntingly prolific John Feinstein once again steps up to take a swing at golf. While A Good Walk Spoiled chronicles the pressures and tensions of a full season on the pGA Tour, The Majors narrows the vista, and expands the importance, to the chase for the four prestigious titles--the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the pGA--that separate the great careers from the pretenders. That the chase occurred in 1998 turns The Majors from a compelling chronicle into a thrilling one.

Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs: The Authorized Biography: Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols
by John Lydon, Keith Zimmerman, Kent Zimmerman
Britain's short-lived, notorious late-'70s punk band the Sex Pistols has become one of rock 'n' roll's greatest legends. But it's time to set the record straight, writes Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, frontman for the Pistols and author of the controversial songs--"Anarchy in the U.K.," "God Save the Queen"--which made his band an immediate sensation. In his engagingly nasty and unexpectedly witty autobiography, he seeks to demythologize the Sex Pistols by suggesting that punk rockers are just like the rest of us, people with families, friends and financial troubles. Vitriolic about the British class system and the music industry, Lydon is nevertheless unabashedly affectionate when discussing his own family. And his depiction of Sid Vicious, his iconic bandmate who has been alternately romanticized and maligned for his addictions to heroin and self-mutilation emerges as a touchingly helpless figure.
Democracy Matters: Winning the Fight Against Imperialism
In his major bestseller, Race Matters, philosopher Cornel West burst onto the national scene with his searing analysis of the scars of racism in American democracy.

A mesmerizing speaker with a host of fervidly devoted fans, West gives as many as one hundred public lectures a year and appears regularly on radio and television. Praised by The New York Times for his "ferocious moral vision" and hailed by Newsweek as "an elegant prophet with attitude," he bridges the gap between black and white opinion about the country's problems.
Hip Hop America
by Nelson George
Although it's been part of the cultural soundscape for over 25 years, hip-hop has been the focus of very few books. And when those books do pop up, they tend to be either overtly scholarly, as if the writer in question has just landed on some alien planet, or a bit too much like a fanzine. If there's anyone qualified to write a solid, informative, and entertaining tome on the culture, politics, and business of hip-hop, it's Nelson George. A veteran journalist, George is one of the smartest and most observant chroniclers of African American pop culture. Much as he broke down and illuminated R&B with his acclaimed book The Death of Rhythm and Blues, George now tackles hip-hop with the clarity of a reporter and the enthusiasm of a fan--which is fitting, because George is both. A Brooklyn native, he began writing about rap back in the late 1970s, when the beats and the lifestyle were not only foreign to most white folks, they were still underground in the black communities. Hip Hop America is filled with George's memories of the scene's nascent years, and it tells the story of rap both as an art form and a cultural and economic force--from the old Bronx nightclub the Fever to the age of Puffy. Highlighting both the major players and some of the forces behind the scenes, George gives rap a historical perspective without coming off as too intellectual. All of which makes Hip Hop America a worthwhile addition to any fan's collection.

A cross-section of straight and gay men and women is represented, from porn legends to rising stars.

Making Beats: The Art of Sample-Based Hip-Hop
by Joseph G. Schloss
Despite having created one of the most important musical cultures of the last fifty years, hip-hop composers who use digital sampling are rarely taken seriously as artists. But hip-hop deejays and producers have collectively developed an artistic system that features a complex aesthetic, a detailed array of social protocols, a rigorous set of ethical expectations, and a rich historical consciousness.
Based on ten years of research among hip-hop producers, Making Beats is the first work of scholarship to explore the goals, methods, and values of this surprisingly insular community. Focusing on a variety of subjects -- from hip-hop artists' pedagogical methods to the Afro-diasporic roots of the sampling process to the social significance of "digging" for rare records -- Joseph G. Schloss examines the way hip-hop artists have managed to create a form of expression that reflects their creative aspirations, moral beliefs, political values, and cultural realities.
