Ask Mr. Smartypants

By Lane Filler

Book Overview

Filler is, quite simply, one of the funniest newspaper columnists writing in America today, a feat made more impressive by the fact that he is not, strictly speaking, a humorist.He is also one of the most innovative political and philosophical thinkers around, a feat made more impressive by the fact that he injects mirth into nearly every topic, no matter how serious. When Filler addresses parenting or marital relations--Man vs. Household--the laughter comes fast and furious, but an insightful observation or a sobering reminder often lurks, as well--camouflaged and as powerful as a knockout punch.By the same token, when Filler takes on a political giant or a sacred cow, he nearly always grants us a hint of humor to help make the medicine go down. And he is fearless. When a mass-marketed mouthwash begins turning his teeth black, Filler makes Crest go on the record explaining why. Readers will find it heart-stoppingly funny.
