Our Favorite Book Titles, Part 11
Once more, we have a tie this month, folks. Here are a pair of books with the kinds of titles that would at least cause me to take a moment to study the book. The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted--And Other Small Acts of Liberation. Also, while I've always found Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz a hyper-irritating weasle, I do nevertheless like the title of his new book: Is There a Right to Remain Silent? Coercive Interrogation and the Fifth Amendment After 9/11. To review earlier favorite book titles, you can go here.

I had to laugh at the title of the Dershowitz book. Interesting subject? Yes. But also ironic considering I've never thought Dershowitz capable of silence, let alone an authority on its practice. :)
Wow, that's an additional irony that hadn't even occurred to me. He's got to be the mouthiest, most annoying lawyer on the planet, which of course is no small feat. Listening to him for an hour would certainly test anyone's reverance for civil liberties. I, for one, would immediately move for him to be waterboarded rather than have to listen to his cloying, endless drone. But that's just me...
ha. Nicely said.
Well, okay. Maybe not waterboarding. Just forced to watch 20 hours of American Idol reruns.
American Idol reruns ... with the Paula Abdul commentary track playing over the program audio.
That would work for me.
