I'd forgotten about this one! I second that - very humourous, either as cover-to-cover read or a 'bathroom' reader. You can pick it up anywhere in the book and be entertained!
Another one I thought of is John Stewart's America, which contains a fair amount of hilarity. Although I think his show 'The Daily Show' is only screened in the US and Canada, this book stands alone as a sardonic look at American politics. And not just to one party or leader, either!! The way it is set out makes it look rather like a magazine in parts - lots of colour, little tit-bits here and there. And it's a little like the website 'The Onion' in it's writing. Even if you've never given a damn about American politics, the writing of this one makes it well worth a look at in your local bookstore. Sorry, it's difficult to describe beyond that!!
Forgot about Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, that's really funny. Some of Ben Elton's books aren't bad either.
