Speaking of Bill Maher...  I highly recommend his newest book: "When You
Ride Alone You Ride with Bin Laden: What the Government Should Be Telling
Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism"

here's a review or two:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1893224740/qid=1050461541/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-5950741-6534511?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

It's a great book--thought provoking and entertaining and has wonderful
illustrations of WWII posters 'revamped' for current times. An example is
a poster of Rosie the Riveter saying 'We Can Do Without' with Rosie giving
the bent elbow salute to a guy giving her a diamond ring.

He rails against most things, including oil addiction, political
correctness, people who think they are making great sacrifices by slapping
a flag on their SUV, etc...

Not sure if the public library has it, but the UofI library does (though
it's currently checked out to yours truly)
