Couldn't agree more.
Al Franken's books provide hours of amusement but I can only feign interest when he gets up on the proverbial soap box and gives the evils of our society a lashing with his tongue. Not that I don't think he's capable of forming valid political points, I just like him better when he's making me laugh rather than trying to invoke political fervor in me which has not been a living entity in my concious being for quite some time.
