...mentioned earlier, the hilarity of each story depends on the reader. This particular one barely smiled at "Lenny Bruce: The Making of a Sitcom," and bristled more than a little when she read "Adolf Hitler: The Larry King Interview." However, some of the pieces--including "The Last Supper, or the Dead Waiter," which follows the arrogant complaints of a waiter who received a small tip at the Last Supper; and "The New Judaism," which expresses fears that "the Hare Krishnas will soon be kicking our ass" and wants to rename God "Uncle Pete"--prove that Stewart can proverbially blow political...

"I think there should be openings for food and water so that it's as if you could actually feed the tiny people. 'Hello, tiny people! It is time for supper! Feast! Feast!'" But while she wanders to that punch line, she takes some rest stops to chat with her hand, as if it were a puppet. "You'll notice it," she says, "because I very cleverly turn to the side." The hand says, "Shut up! Tell your joke...
