Today is the release date for The Weed Agency.
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.’
RS Interview: Jim Geraghty on ‘The Weed Agency.’
I had the opportunity to read a review copy of NRO writer Jim Geraghty’s The Weed Agency: A Comic Tale of Federal Bureaucracy Without Limits. My quick review: it’s a funny, fast read that labors under the problem that the most outlandish parts in it – the stuff that sounds most over-the-top – are all things that actually have happened. It’s not quite a book where you laugh because the alternative is to cry, but you can see that from there. At any rate: Jim was kind enough to do a phone interview with me on the book.

The Weed Agency comes out on June 3rd: by all means, check it out.

In the Mail: The Weed Agency.
Jim Geraghty’s first novel (I believe). Halfway through it now, and it’s depressing reading*, because: it’s all true. Worse, the true stuff includes all the horrible things that you’d think that Jim was making up about government bureaucracies. If anything, I think that he’s sugar-coated it in places, simply because you need to ease people into the Awful Truth of how bad it’s gotten.
Book’s out in a couple of weeks; I’ll almost certainly have interviewed Jim about the book before then. By all means, pre-order the book.

*The tone is chipper, mind you. And yes, chipper AND depressing is an interesting combo.
