This was my fist book by the author, but it will not be my last. After offering a very insightful overview of the media driven socio-political situation in the first chapter, all of the later chapters chronicle how this insidious situation of extreme sensivity to racial situations got started in the sixties, and only grew to ever more absurd lengths as the decades unfolded. She talks about many shocking legal cases, most from the east coast, where an African Am. defendant, almost, or in some cases did, get away with a major crime, and where the even the local police force was vilified by the local press, and TV media for their attempts to solve these cases, even after being proved right in every case. She shows how there was some temporary diminishment in this activity with the scandal of OJ murder case, and subsequent acquittal. Now, with the rise of the Obama presidency, and the media and politicial impetus surrounding it, it is shown how this same political attitude is again regaining prominence, and the menace this potentially poses. This volume kept my interest from beginning to end, and is one of the most informative political books I have read in quite a while.

I really enjoy Catherine Coulter's books with the FBI.  This one adds a new twist with a Brit from Scotland Yard in America helping the FBI solve a murder and a stolen diamond.  The book as usual keeps you on edge because the way Miss Coulter writes.  I hope there is a sequel to this book because the professional thief is quite clever....O course I am a fan of Miss Coulter's FBI thrillers.............

It's Ann. The one thing you can expect from Coulter is that her work will be well documented and funny.

Don't listen to the negative reviews on here and BUY THIS BOOK!!  I found it very entertaining, insightful, informative, and very well told. After reading some of these reviews, I had second thoughts, but after I read it for myself I can see how people really have blinders on, STILL,  when it comes to this woman. "My turn"?  not once did I ever hear that uttered or even feel like it was implied. " It's everyone else's fault" ? I believe I heard her say somewhere between 10 and 20 times in the first 1/3 of the book alone that she takes responsibility. " Campaign was without flaws"? Heard her admit that her campaign WAS flawed a bunch of times, too. "Lacks substance and introspection"? Her introspection was the meat AND substance of this book.  Give it up, haters, this is an illuminating and historically imperative read.

Al Franken's latest book is a must-read for those on the left, those in what the media (somewhat paradoxically) refers to as the "blue states",  and  readers in academia everywhere.  Those  with the greatest need to read it will probably never open it, yet some may condemn all favorable reviews!

  Franken has put together an energetic, highly motivated, extremely bright group of researchers (whom he lists and describes at the end of the book) to back up his assertions and to expose the shoddy, shallow name-callers of the right, people of the ilk of Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter.

Franken refers to his approach as "kidding on the square", making his points and telling the truth with great hilarity and a wit which the people mentioned above, can only rail against but can never equal.  What an accomplishment---a laugh-out-loud on every page, some sly digs administered with such subtle humor that some of it doubtless goes right over the heads of many of his targets, and  some absolutely-verifiable facts along with irrefutably-accurate charts.  Even the charts bubble over with Franken's  pointed wit.  My favorite is the one showing the number of military horses purchased by Abraham Lincoln with those purchased by Ronald Reagan.  (His point?  Different time, different situation: Unfair to compare Reagan's military "cold war" expenditures with those of Bill Clinton's after the Soviet Union was disbanded.)

Franken's book is written in a friendly, often modest, "Minnesota-nice" tone which will stingingly enrage his right-wing critics even more.  They must be maddened also by this humor-feast proof that yes, we Democrats have WAY more fun!

I love Ann Coulter. She's funny, incredibly well researched, and if America is to survive it will be because of people like Ann.

My friend lent me this book, and while I am definitely of the Liberal persuasion, I didn't think it would be so darn hilarious! Al Franken's wit is sometimes outrageous, sometimes subtle, and always hits the funny bone.
His expose of the lies and hypocrisy of Cheney, Bush, Rove et al really opened my eyes - I knew they were shady with the truth - but now I depsise them even more than I did before (I actually did not think that was possible). His chapters on knucklehead morons such as Coulter, O'Reilly and Hannity are hysterically funny - I CANNOT believe anyone takes these idiots seriously!
Now, don't get me wrong, I give the time of day to INTELLIGENT conservatives, such as Pat Buchanan, William F. Buckley et al. I rarely agree with their viewpoints, but their articles are (were) always well-written, thoughful, and never failed to make their points clearly and effectively.  This latest breed of Fox News nutjobs are pathetically undereducated and uninformed when compared to the likes of Buchanan.
One final point - O'Reilly used to present HARD COPY, fer goodness sakes! Tabloid Garbage!!
Al's witty and wonderful work just goes to show - Conservatives sure are a humorless bunch at times, aren't they?
Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

This book is hillarious and informative!  It gives a
light-hearted humor to what some women dread their whole lives.  I now know what my mom is going through and ways to be sensitive to other women in my life who have the "shrinking hormome syndrome".  Caron Loveless is a brilliant and talented author who deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for tackling such a topic!  I RECOMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY ONE WHO KNOWS A WOMAN!

What a clever way to present this information.  I found myself cheering the author's narrative... hugely soothed and encouraged... and laughing hysterically at the diary entries.  Sarcasm waaay over the top!  It blew me away.  This book is a jewel.  I just finished reading it for the second time this year.  It is said so well... learning made fun.  For people who seek to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, before they vote in 2012, this is one of my recommended books to read.  (Along with "Obama Zombies," "The Roots of Obama's Rage," "Shariah, The Threat to America," "The Five Thousand Year Leap," "What In the World is Going On?," "The Economic Armageddon," and "Broke," to name just a few of the hundreds I have read in the last few years.  These will give you a fairly easy read of the most important pieces of the puzzle.)

UPDATE:  I meant to also say this:  there are so many reviews in here that excoriate the "diaries" in this book.  OBVIOUSLY, those reviewers either did not read the book, or did not read every word of it!  The "diaries" are explained satisfactorily by the writer. And I won't tell you how. You must read this book if you want to know!  I personally drew a lot of encouragement and humor from Ingraham's own writings.  I think her attitude (in this book, as well as substitute for Bill O'Reilly when he is on vacation) is just right.  I thoroughly enjoy Ann Coulter's acidity, which is over the top, but we don't need two of her, and Ingraham is nowhere near being a second Ann Coulter!  Ingraham has said in a very effective way, "WAKE UP, AMERICA. WE'RE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AND IT'S TIME TO PAY ATTENTION, EDUCATE OURSELVES AND LEARN HOW TO FIGHT FOR OUR SOVEREIGNTY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM AND DOLLARS... JUST LIKE WE HAD TO IN THE FIRST REVOLUTION."  Anybody who thinks that a one world order is going to be any better for America than Great Britain was when we were founded, is grieveously deluded.

Reading this book feels like a great, deep conversation over dinner with a dear friend. This book is a consummate critical analysis of bigotry and bias in all arenas. Wooten's hilarious sense of humor balances the sting of his profound wisdom and righteous rage.

Wooten's humor is evident upon every page. Read this amusing, intellectual, and wonderful book today. I love this author. His style and tone are revolutionary!

A MUST READ FOR ANYONE SEEKING THE TRUTH.  Mugged; Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama is well written and researched. For my own satisfaction, I've fact checked at least two dozen references from the book and found Coulter's book to be accurate. If you want to know the real history of liberal democrat's during this period this is it. It has given me a new understanding of my 59 years growing up from a young active democrat/hippie, to a Constitutional independent retired from Naval Submarines into the stressful times we're now living.  I challenge anyone to honestly read this book along with her other book "Demonic" - you may not like what you read, but you will see things in a new light - the truth. No matter what side of the aisle you come from.

It was with great joy that I read Slander. Ann Coulter has nicely shown how the left wing media distorts and slants stories making a mockery of their profession and personal integrity. The left wing media slanting and stress on so called Republican gaffs while not giving the same visibility to leftist miscues is very obvious.
Her writings reflects what I always suspected but not having Ann Coulters command of the English language could never express myself in her terms. Ann Coulter has made me a believer. I am  a very pro Ann Coulter fan!

Ann is fun and informing as usual.  Her wit and research once again prove unstoppable in this newest addition of "inside the mind of Ann Coulter".  She truly is unique and a blast to read.  Sorry libs, better fact checking and faux memo production is necessary in today's world....

Review of Hercule Poirot  An Appointment with Death
Another wonderful example of Dame Agatha Christies genius, and another piquant rendezvous with my deceased moms favorite literary character, the mercurial, mysterious, stylishly dressed detective, Monsieur Hercule Poirrot! Now that I am older and am finally catching up on my deceased moms reading list, I am gaining ever more insights into my late moms tastes and inner visions. I realize that my mom admired Monsieur Poirrot for his PRIDE, which I, in the naivet&eacute;e of my youth, and in my recent induction into the Evangelical Christian faith, was too BLIND to seethis awesome character trait, PRIDE, as a VIRTUE, but only saw it as a SIN! Especially in a book like Appointment with Death, the context of which dealt with psychological terror and evil and deeply oppressed/repressed people who are ruled by a SADISTIC TYRANT who forces them into submission in the name of MOTHER, or EVIL STEPMOTHER, as it were! EVIL STEPMOTHER /SADISTIC TYRANT, step down from your self-elevated throne, ADMIT to your CRIMES! Alas, you can not do that, since you are merely a fictional character, created by AGATHA CHRISTIE! However, there are actual TYRANTS out there who CAN do it! SADISTIC TYRANTS, STEP DOWN from your SELF-ELEVATED THRONES and ADMIT your CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, especially your oppression of IMMIGRANTS and your unmitigated HATE! Now, to get back to where I was, speaking about my own dear mom, who during her lifetime also admired PRIDE among her oftentimes unusual friendsMISFITS, DISABLED, and others carelessly CAST ASIDE and LEFT OUT of the CROWD of popular, conforming, unthinking people! Though my mom, to all appearances, was a shy, timid creature and not a literary genius or a political activist, but just an ordinary U.S. citizen, who happened to be Jewish, she had a SECRET up her SLEEVE!. "Let your little light shine! Do not hide your light under a bushel!" That would be my mom's motto, if she were alive today! Though NOT an Evangelical Christian who quoted Scripture like an automaton, but a free-thinking secular Jew! At last, through revisiting the curious and enchanting books which occupied my late moms bookshelf and which occupied her MIND, my eyes are finally open to the virtue of PRIDE! Jane Austen also saw it and dwelt upon it in her writing. WHY NOT PRIDE, for Heavens sake? Dear Reader, look around you at contemporary life! Can you NOT see PRIDE as a virtue? Not as an obsession with ones own libido, as conceit, as a right to bully and demean/demolish others who are DIFFERENT, but as simply taking credit for ones own talents, ones own unique abilities, ones own true identity! I have no choice but to give this gift from my late mom to myself FIVE STARS! I would give An Appointment with Death TEN STARS, A THOUSAND STARS, if permissible!

As ever, her writing is right on! Also, she captures the intellectual debate brilliantly, which is why liberals don't care for her: they can't keep up.

Well done, Ann!
