Coming up for the cognoscenti and literati is Dr. Denis Leary's next, "Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid." Smart, sardonic, fierce, also savage and profane, the writer/comic ravages the politically correct, the hypocrisy of policy, the obese, the thin and basically every overdog who ever barked other than his publisher Viking. Have an excerpt:
"I'm sick of low esteem and fake fat-suit-wearing female talk-show hosts and extreme makeovers and steroid-laden home run hitters and Reese Witherspoon movies and Paris Hilton's himbo boyfriends and celebrity rehab and Dr. Phil.

Gone With The Wind star Evelyn Keyes has died of uterine cancer. She was 91.
The actress passed away at her home in Santa Barbara, California on 4th July but the news was withheld until her death certificate had been filed, according to her close friend Allan Glaser.
Keyes played Scarlett O'Hara's younger sister, Suellen, in the 1939 movie and went on to star in a variety of other films including 1949's Mrs Mike and The Seven Year Itch in 1955.
The star, who married four times, counted director John Huston and band leader Artie Shaw among her famous husbands.
After Shaw died in 2004, Keyes sued his estate, claiming that she was entitled to half of it. In July 2006 a jury ruled in her favour and awarded her $1.42 million (GBP711,000).
Her last film appearance was in 1989 in the comedy movie Wicked Stepmother.
