American Savage: Insights, Slights, and Fights on Faith, Sex, Love, and Politics by Dan Savage

2.0

I love Dan Savage's segments on This American Life, and generally find him to be sensible, down-to-earth, humorous, and a perfect pinch of irreverent. Some chapters in this book lived up to that expectation, but quite a few were much more in the realm of the political soapbox realm than I was hoping for. I guess “and Politics” is right in the title, but I could have done without diatribes on universal healthcare or Rick Santorum’s presidential aspirations elbowing out the promised discussions (and Dan Savage’s typical programming) about “Sex [and] Love.”
