The book is called 'Thanks for Nothing' and it's really the story of how I got into comedy and traces back every strand in my life that is relevant to that story. It's kind of an autobiography but isn't, as it stops about 25 years ago. It goes right up to the first time I do stand up. ↗

I was stranded in Disco. I went to dozens of darkened places with enough flashing lights to drive the average person mad. I felt lost in the pulse of sheer panic. ↗

The Democratic Party went far to the left, I think, and left some of us stranded on the beach, so we went to the Republican Party. ↗

Last year, when we were in Mobile, Al., covering Hurricane Ivan, we heard the stories of poor people, many of them black stranded downtown because they had no way out. ↗

I think it is just stupid economics for a government to approach economic management from a strand of thinking regarding unions as enemies. ↗
