The Truth (with Jokes) by Al FrankenAl Franken is the man. Simply put, he makes me chuckle, and he makes me feel good about my liberal leanings. The book covers a variety of topics, including Bush’s campaign of fear & smear against John Kerry, the President’s misguided attempt to privatize Social Security, and the ill-conceived and poorly executed war against Iraq.
I don’t take everything that Franken says at face value. I’ve actually looked over some of the rebuttals against the claims in the book (such as the ones at FrankenLies.com). Actually, I feel kind of dirty looking at all those right-wing websites. Hopefully the government isn’t checking my internet activity now.
In the end, it’s not always easy to know who to believe. But with people like Bush, Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove at the helm, I have an easier time believing that Al Franken and the left bends the truth a whole lot less than the right.
