Al Franken, Giant of the Senate

Story
Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

Finding logical inconsistencies, factual errors, and doublespeak wherever he looks, Al Franken takes on and destroys the myth of liberal bias in the media, hoists the Bush White House on its own rhetorical petard, and punctures the mean-spirited sanctimony of such media darlings as Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly. Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always uproarious, Lies is sure to raise hackles and spark hilarity inside the Beltway and from sea to shining sea.

Mike Rinder’s parents began taking him to their local Scientology center when he was five years old.

Ron Hubbard’s yacht and promised training in Hubbard’s most advanced techniques, Rinder was instead put to work swabbing the decks. Still, Rinder bought into the doctrine that his personal comfort was secondary to the higher purpose of Hubbard’s world-saving mission.

Publisher's summary
The ultimate meditation book, not to be grandiose...
Take a hilarious, healing journey with Stuart Smalley as he careens down the road to recovery.
For one entire year, Stuart recorded an affirmation a day...except when he had taken to his bed (but that's okay)...and the result is the most entertaining and indispensable meditation book ever.
From program wisdom (Denial ain't just a river in Egypt! December 1) to survival tips (When I go home to visit my family, I will stay in a motel! September 26) to some good sound practical advice (I am entitled to file for an extension on my income taxes! April 15th), Stuart's affirmations will empower you!
Work, friendship, love, spirituality, codependency, self-esteem, acceptance...Stuart deals with it all. And as you share his ups and downs, his triumphs and shame spirals, you will come to see the ultimate truth of Stuart's March 21 affirmation: Today I will laugh - at least once!

Five years ago, the US Space Force became a reality. And while those writing the checks took things very seriously, the other military branches did not. As a result, Space Force was populated by undesirables. My name is Captain Ethan Stone, a decorated member of SEAL Team Six turned Space Force "recruit". Flash forward five years and between tenses. President West is in office. Power has shifted. And Space Force is defunded. With just a handful of us still living on base, we find ourselves being evicted. But before all of us can leave, aliens invade.

Story
“The Heron” is the nickname a big-city accountant has attached to himself in his new home near San Diego, where he’s using the alias to avoid a hit man who may be after him. It seems a former client believes that The Heron has skipped town with several million dollars not his own. Don Winslow’s ensuing, entertaining yarn is by turns twisty, dark, and comical as we observe the delicate dance between the pursuer and the pursued.

Story
What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

Endlessly good
I don't know how many times I've listened to this but it gets better every time. Al franken's ability to encapsulate the experience of program in all shapes and forms is just outstanding. I am so happy about this purchase.

Very Funny
If you enjoy listening to the audio books in the Self Development section in Audible, you will love this spoof of the topic by Al Franken. I also recommend the movie "Stuart Saves His Family." I actually purchased the CD when it first came out over ten years ago. I lost my copy and found it was no longer in print. I am very happy that Audible brought it back. Very funny and definitely worth the money.

Whoops -- I am misleading you
I wrote the other review -- but then I listened to the clip and I realize that this even though this audiobook has the same name as the book-book Al Franken wrote, the audiobook is a completely different product.
I love the book-book, and the movie, and this audiobook is more like "an hour with Stuart Smalley" -- and from the clip you can tell that it is very very funny!

Best Prank Audiobk EVER. Play THIS IN THE CAR!
Not only is this great comedy, but it was designed with the conceits of the audiobook listener in mind. You MUST play this in the car, while you're driving, for full impact of the punchline. I just love it, I love Stuart Smalley, and I love Al Franken. I'm so mad he's in the Senate now and can't do a sequel!

Classic Stuart Smalley
This is NOT the audiobook of the actual book. There was originally a "meditation tape by Stuart Smalley" that went with the book, and I assume this is it.
If you like Al Franken's Stuart Smalley character from SNL, and/or have ever known a self-help fanatic or 12-step-program abuser, you'll enjoy this.

Behind the Scenes Look of an Audiobook Production
Very funny product. The audiobook features Franken as his Stuart Smalley character in the recording studio trying to do the audiobook version of his Stuart Smalley book. What makes it quite amusing is that this is being done in "one take" and Stuart can't seem to get it right. The first 30 minutes are golden, but the tape does drag at the end (the one joke concept does hit its limit). Overall its very enjoyable, even if you're not a fan of Franken's political ideology.
