At a recent conference in San Francisco that gathered the who’s who of social online media, blogger extraordinaire Arianna Huffington stated that Barack Obama would not have won the election if it weren’t for the Internet.

Many have stated that it was Obama’s ability to utilize networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube that gave the new President-elect a leg-up on the competition.

If online networking is so important and obviously successful, this question has to be asked—why aren’t you networking online? Professional networking sites such as LinkedIn claim that currently 49 percent of its growing 27 million registered users are decision makers. In other words, online networking is a growing tool for top executives, so to abstain from it is at your peril.

Outrageous, raw, and painfully funny true stories straight from the life of the actor, comedian, and much-loved cast member of The Howard Stern Show—with a foreword by Howard Stern.

When Artie Lange joined the permanent cast of The Howard Stern Show in 2001, it was possibly the greatest thing ever to happen in the Stern universe, second only to the show’s move to the wild, uncensored frontier of satellite radio. Lange provided what Stern had yet to find all in the same place: a wit quick enough to keep pace with his own, a pathetic self-image to dwarf his own, a personal history both heartbreaking and hilarious, and an ingrained sense of self-sabotage that continually keeps things interesting.

A natural storyteller with a bottomless pit of material, Lange grew up in a close-knit, working-class Italian family in Union, New Jersey, a maniacal Yankees fan who pursued the two things his father said he was cut out for—sports and comedy. Tragically, Artie Lange Sr. never saw the truth in that prediction: He became a quadriplegic in an accident when Artie was eighteen and died soon after. But as with every trial in his life, from his drug addiction to his obesity to his fights with his mother, Artie mines the humor, pathos, and humanity in these events and turns them into comedy classics.

True fans of the Stern Show will find Artie gold in these pages: hilarious tales that couldn’t have happened to anyone else. There are stories from his days driving a Jersey cab, working as a longshoreman in Port Newark, and navigating the dark circuit of stand-up comedy. There are outrageous episodes from the frenzied heights of his coked-up days at MADtv, surprisingly moving stories from his childhood, and an account of his recent U.S.O. tour that is equally stirring and irreverent. But also in this volume are stories Artie’s never told before, including some that he deemed too revealing for radio.

Wild, shocking, and drop-dead hilarious, TOO FAT TO FISH is Artie Lange giving everything he’s got to give. And like a true pro, the man never disappoints.

There are no DVD releases or movies on the horizon, but Fox is pushing “The Simpsons” in a global giveaway of the cartoon family figures in a Kids Meal deal.

Everyone who buys a Kids Meal during the “Hang Out with The Simpsons!” campaign gets one of six character-themed toys as long as the supplies last. The idea is to enable fans of the show to re-create the opening couch sequence in the long-running weekly animated series.
