Hiaasen's latest comic novel, concerning mostly depraved characters criminally engaged in Florida politics, takes his programmatic blackguarding of the state wherein he resides to new heights.

Come Fill Your Glass with Us - Irish Songs of Drinking & Blackguarding is a collection of traditional Irish drinking songs performed by The Clancy Brothers with often time collaborator Tommy Makem.
