Fair and Balanced

Tom Tomorrow and Atrios have renamed their websites "Fair and Balanced" in honor of Al Franken's book and Fox News' wonderful publicity stunt. Remember when Harper's pulled "Stupid White Men" and threatened to shred the 50k copies that were printed. Well the publicity of that stupidity shot the book to Amazon and NYTimes #1 position for *months*. And now with Fox's help, Franken's book
"Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" will be widely read and the last laugh will be ours.

My husband came home tonight and said,
"I thought and thought how to get my wife off the computer.
Then I decided this was the way"
and he whipped out
"Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" by Al Franken.
My husband is a very wise man.
