A collection of humorous essays by the author who was a humor columnist for McClatchy-Tribune Information Services, according to my copy of the book which has a 2006 copyright. Whether she still works for them or not, I don't know.
The essays are divided into five parts: Kids, Celebrities, Vanity Flares, Huzzzbands, and Southern-Style Silliness.
Generally I list the titles of the essays but in this collection all the essays have run-on titles and I'm too lazy and typing-impaired to bother. Here's one for example: The Butcher's Great, the Baker's Suffering: But How Is the Anti-Carb Frenzy Affecting the Candlestick Maker?
It would be a lot of work typing out 32 titles like that.
This was a fun read. I found it much more entertaining than I did the first book of hers that I read, Bless Your Heart, Tramp. She has certainly gotten funnier with time.
Here is a review by Publishers Weekly.
