Product Description
Everyone's Crazy Here...

In his twenty years on the radio, the mononymous Lionel ("one name, like God," as he is fond of saying) has forged his reputation as an irreverent, ribald, take-no-prisoners analyst of culture, politics, and the world at large. Now America's favorite contrarian takes to the page with this hilarious user's guide to our country and culture.

In Everyone's Crazy Except You and Me ... And I'm Not So Sure About You, Lionel offers a collection of hilarious and insightful observations on life, liberty, and the pursuit of alien life forms. From the sublime (Why do so many of us believe in God?) to the ridiculous (Why did he run over his sister's hair with the vacuum cleaner?), Lionel takes his readers on a riotous ride through his world, and ours. A former prosecutor, Lionel examines our greatest national oxymoron--criminal justice. He hates hate crimes, and argues against drug criminalization and the Son of Sam laws. He's also an indefatigable defender of the First Amendment who nevertheless believes that men shouldn't drink mojitos or wear socks with sandals. And lest you think he just picks on the Right, rest assured that Lionel has plenty to say about Lefties, Centrists, and even barristas.

No subject is off limits here. No group is immune--not conservatives, not women, and especially not American Homo sapiens.

Consider these imponderables:

  • Why today's acrobatic professional wrestler is inferior to the beer-bellied hulk of the sixties
  • Why Hazmat suits are worn more than once, but not wedding gowns
  • Why women can't tell jokes
  • Why you should never drink anything you can't spell.
An infectious, irresistible, and possibly persuasive book that is bound to entertain and inform, Everyone's Crazy Except You and Me ... And I'm Not So Sure About You is the perfect read for anyone who questions the state of our national mental health. Void where prohibited by law.

5 out of 5 stars Everyone's Crazy Except You and Me...And I'm Not So Sure About You: America's Favorite Contrarian Cuts Loose   October 6, 2008
Insightful. Witty. Fun. The short chapters make it a fun book to read for the person with a busy schedule. Provocative, yet funny. You will look at things a bit differently after you read this book. An amalagam of Sedaris, Barry, and Will. Lionel demonstrates his unique combination of intellect, pragmatism, and humor. I can not wait for the sequel!


5 out of 5 stars An entertaining trail to sanity.   October 6, 2008
Lionel has the unique ability to make you think and learn -- his book does both while, at the same time, making you laugh. I have been a ferociously dedicated fan of talk radio for all of my many later adult years. I used to seek out one host for his intelligence and insight, another for his humor, and yet another for his delightfully daft take on events. And then when Lionel came along, for the first time in my life I could do one stop shopping. I would refer to him as the Rush Limbaugh for the sane, but would not want to offend Lionel by the camparison."



4 out of 5 stars Who knows?   September 25, 2008
Does ANYBODY know that the title of this book was a line taken from the 1931 movie Dracula?


5 out of 5 stars Review of Lionel's Book   September 21, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Since I really like his radio show, I really liked his book. In the book (of course) he gets to use blue language which he uses to accentuate what he probably sounds like when talking in his public personna off mike. The book addresses some of his thoughts, opinions, and conclusions very well. It isn't a story or continuous diatribe but just some writing on various subjects of interest to him and his fans.


5 out of 5 stars Great Read!   September 17, 2008

As a huge fan of the Lionel Show I could not wait for his book to arrive.
Anyone who is a fan of witty,intelligent humor will enjoy this read.
Lionel's political observations are unmatched in their sensibility and honesty.
Pick up a copy and listen to the show and you will be addicted as I am!
