Is there any town in America that has a more difficult tine keeping a secret than Washington, D.C.? And now another one's gotten loose, and his name is Tony Kornheiser.

Who is Tony Kornheiser? Well, he writes a column for the Washington Post, and it's so funny that he's been voted the city's best columnist for the past twenty-eight years running (okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but we're trying to get you to buy this book, and we don't want to let facts get in the way). What does he write about? Men, women, politics, the big picture, marriage, kids, and anything else worth complaining about.

You might be wondering, Do I really need to laugh until I cry, laugh until my side hurts, laugh until my face turns bright red? Well, that's a personal decision, but we'd recommend it (not that that will happen to you here - try the Pat Buchanan book). Look, this is a crazy world, and it takes a funny man to make us laugh at it. Tony Kornheiser holds a mirror up to ourselves and our lives, and we walk away smiling.

He's the funniest columnist in America, and Pumping Irony is the laugh workout of the year.
