I've received the proof copies to my new books The Kind-Hearted Smarta*s - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue (Uncensored Version), The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck - Volume 2: The Wisecracks Continue (Censored Version), and LOL at the GOP - Volume 4: Guns, Jesus, Corporations, and Fetuses. Upon first glance, they all look pretty good, but I'll have to go through each one individually to make 100% certain the quality of the products is up to my standards. If all goes well, the three books should become available in both paperback and kindle form on Monday. I've also completed the cover for my fourth upcoming book, LOL at the GOP - Volume 5: You Can't Spell "Forgot To Take Their Crazy Pills" Without "Tea Party." So, after my proofreader proofreads the book and I edit the errors she spots, I'll send away for a proof copy of that as well. Hopefully that book will become available in the next week and a half or so. Well, that's the news for now. I'll likely post another such blog on Monday once the books become available, with further details. Stay tuned...

In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...
