The Fred Book
Meet Fred Imus, a latter-day Will Rogers with a touch of Yogi Berra, the younger brother and alter ego of Don "the I-Man" Imus, the nationally syndicated and original shock jock of the airwaves. The Fred Book collects Fred's incomparable philosophy of life, irresistible politically incorrect ideology on everything from politics ("Here is the entire Whitewater investigation as far as I can which goober knew about what loan and when?") to running a million-dollar catalog business ("Have a brother on radio"); from advice about how to keep women ("Keep yourself clean") to the Catholic Church ("They really do need more Jews calling the shots on the business side").
For the "Imus in the Morning" radio program's legion of fans and anyone up for a little unvarnished Southwestern wisdom. The Fred Uncut. Uncensored. Unplugged. 100% Fred. Made in the U.S.A.

A friend gave me the trilogy of Don Imus books as a retirement gift. I finished the first book, The Fred Book, about brother Fred Imus. I found this quote:
"I'm never retiring. In other words, I really don't have any long-range retirement plans. But then, I've never had any long-range plans of any kind. I just kind of go football season to football season, and hope for the best."
I have a 'retirement plan', but I do kind of go football season to football season!
The book is a series of (very) short reflections from Fred Imus. If you aren't a fan you probably won't like it. If you are a fan, it might bring about a smile or two. Not three.
I wonder how the great author Mike Lupica really feels about being the co-author?????
