The Weed Agency: A Comic Tale of Federal Bureaucracy Without Limits is Jim Geraghty’s… comic tale of federal bureaucracy without limits, actually. The subtitle is a pretty accurate description, all things considered. You may remember that I interviewed Jim about the book; it’s formally out today, so go buy it.

PS: Nah, Jim isn’t paying me to shill the book, more’s the pity. But if you buy it via the link I get a little bit of Amazon money, so there you go: that’s where I’m selling out, for a given value of ‘selling out.’
There’s an interview with him about the book over at National Review: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/379415/weed-agency-interview
Personally, I’d say it’s a little too close to reality to be humorous…
You could say the same about Christopher Buckley’s “The White House Mess”.
But it’s absolutely hilarious. If, of course, you have a dark sense of humor.
.
Or heck, P.J.O’Rourke’s “Parliment of Whores” it *is* reality, and still very funny. (If depressing.)
First as tragedy, then as farce.
