Review
Washington Post humor columnist Tony Kornheiser takes on the big issues of the day: how cigarette makers are targeting what they call "Virile Females," the death of Orlon (and its partner Ban-Lon), coffins you can use as furniture before you put them to their final use, and a really weird kid in Japan who injected his scalp with silicone to meet the height requirement for Sumo wrestling.
From the Inside Flap
For five years running, Tony Kornheiser has been voted Washington, D.C.'s favorite columnist, over such luminaries as Buchwald, Barry, and George Will. Kornheiser's collection of columns is the laugh workout for a lifetime. "Pumping Irony is a laugh treat on every page."--Larry King, USA Today.
