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.

Story
In Addicted to Outrage, New York Times best-selling author Glenn Beck addresses how America has become more and more divided - both politically and socially. Americans are now less accepting, less forgiving, and have lost faith in many of the country's signature ideals. They are quick to point a judgmental finger at the opposing party, are unwilling to doubt their own ideologies, and refuse to have any self-awareness whatsoever. Beck states that this current downward spiral will ultimately lead to the destruction of everything America has fought so hard to preserve.

In a world of infinite information and propaganda screaming at us from every direction, the truth is of paramount importance to our mental health, and can be a matter of life and death for every person on this planet. In The Propaganda Project, I expose the tricks of the propagandist--the tricks needed to legitimize the illegitimate, to make us think up is down, black is white. I dig deep into the muck to extract the truth about government, and the financial interests pulling the strings.

National radio talk show host Mike Gallagher provides a careful study into the psyche of the liberal mind, using humor and irony to both entertain and instruct. A recent Gallup/ USA Today Poll (not exactly Fox News Channel) revealed that 42 percent of Americans called themselves conservative, 35 percent moderate, while only 20 percent used the "L" word to describe themselves. Mike Gallagher uses his trademark humor to take the listener inside the life and mind of the American liberal, coming up with 50 definitive things liberals just love to hate.

In his latest spirited book, O'Reilly prompts further debate with the president and the American people on the current state of the union. While the changes that took place in America during President Obama's first 18 months in office are dizzying to just think about, their real-life impact on the average American is a helluva lot stronger than that. Tempers have reached the boiling point over the shifts in healthcare, immigration, national security, energy, and the environment.

There has never been a more dangerous time. The politicians and special interests in Washington, DC, are directly responsible for the mess we are in. So why should we continue listening to them?

Editorial reviews
Conservative talk-radio host Neal Boortz gives a spirited performance of his book Somebody's Gotta Say It. On this audiobook, he delivers his usual brand of relentless truth telling - he stays far away from political correctness - which has earned him the titles "Talkmaster" and the "High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth". His goal? To defend the United States against those who seek to harm it, and to aim diatribes at the liberals who believe America is good because of government. If someone is offended, then he’s done his job.

For the Logical not the Emotional.
This has got to be one of the most amazing books ive read/listened to. Like "the Fair Tax Plan", i am going to purchase this book for everyone i know. I have listened to Neal Boortz for about 5 years now until his show was cancelled in my market. I have been awaiting a new book from him for quite some time. The one thing to keep in mind as you listen is this.... The truth is not sensitive. If you want to read/listen to a book that will make you feel warm and fuzzy, or a book that will tell you nothings your fault, then this book is not for you. But if you can, just for one minute, not get defensive and keep an open mind to what Neal is saying... you will be very enlightened. And as i know he would despise this comparison... He is like the Dr. Phil of talk radio. Sometimes the truth needs to be said no matter how uncomfortable or painful it may be. Do yourself a favor and get this. A+++++++

He got it right
While I can’t say that I agree with everything that Neal says, he got 99.9% of it right. As a loyal listener for Neal for years I took a long break from him for a couple years while I lived overseas. All I can say is that I am happy to be back home listening to him and his voice of reason. If only he would reconsider and run for President, but you would have to listen to find out why… If you have any book to buy here it would be his Fair Tax book, after that this is a must listen!

Honest and exceptable
I enjoy Neal Boortz and find him further sharping observations and opinions I have in common with him but there are some differences that I do have with him that lower this from a 4 to a 3. I do recommend this but with some caveats.

More than thought-provoking
Instantly the listener is assaulted with a summary of the book. Whatever offends you in the first ten minutes will continue to provoke more than your thoughts. It will grate you as he explores those topics in more detail, especially poking at the tender feelings of many liberals. Most people can find some common ground with Boortz on at least one issue, but the libertarian is most likely to appreciate this work. My first problem with Boortz is that while he is strong on personal liberties, he does so with the abandonment of any moral base, and even liberty without morality descends into chaos. It seems his abandonment of Episcopal ministry resulted in a wavering stand on moral issues in general. My second problem is that just because people e-mail him to tell him they "will never listen to him again," that does not mean that he is right. Nevertheless, he parades e-mail after e-mail as if they were evidence that his view was correct, when some of his views, when taken to their logical conclusions, are deeply flawed.

Preferably Someone With a Brain
Gloating that you were an average student in high school and never went to college then saying that your work experience in talk radio has taught you how dumb Americans are takes a lot of nerve. Arguing the libertarian view of the world only goes to show that you really should have at least paid attention in history class. The major problem with this book, and the libertarian view, is that it requires, as a pre-requisite, that you completely ignore the American Progressive Movement in the early years of the last century. The ideas were tried before, and they failed, miserably...Actually, they sit the conditions for the government we have now.
Democracies are messy. They require dialogs, not diatribes. We can all sit in a room and create our own perfect world from our myopic perspectives, but ultimately, and fortunately, this is not how the world of reality works.
I would give this book a pass...there is nothing here that you don't hear on the radio.

It’s Boortz
What would have made Somebody's Gotta Say It better?
I attempted to listen on several occasions just found it unappealing. Highly respect Boortz and the way he addresses issues. Forced me to do my own homework. This book is just not my cup of tea
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
NA
How did the narrator detract from the book?
NA
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
A few, shows diplomacy never trumps the truth and common sence
Any additional comments?
Liberal democrats are power hungry liars
