Audio book review (sort of)

So, I got a *ahem* loner copy of the audio version of Ann Coulter's new book (released about a week ago). Given that it's political satire, and Ann herself narrates it, it basically works as an extended stand-up comedy routine. Overall, I thought it was pretty decent. Despite arguing from an obviously absurd position (Trump is Awesome!), I think she makes a lot of solid points when it comes to explaining the appeal of the man and why he's been as successful as he has—and hey—that's one of the two things that satire is supposed to accomplish, right? Help us see things for what they truly are—regardless of how ugly or uncomfortable that truth is. Oh, and it's also quite funny—in its own dark, wry, twisted, fashion—so that's the other box ticked as well.

Now, here's the crucial bit; would I pay $25USD for it?

… No …

No, no, no, and no. I would pay $10 … hmmm—maybe $15? … No, definitely only $10. First of all, at 6hrs, it felt short. I guess that might have had something to do with the fact that I listened to it at 3x speed, which shortened it down to 2hrs, but having said that, Ann is a bit of a slow talker. No, this definitely felt short. Secondly, is any stand-up routine worth thirty bucks? Maybe I'm just getting miserly in my old age.

Anyway, it's here if you want to check it out.

Trump and Hillary cartoon is still in the works.

Also—in the "too much info" basket—I've had some pretty bad issues with wind over the last few days. At times, it's felt like my insides were being crushed. If you don't hear from me again, I've either had a heart attack or burst like a balloon.
