Dr. Dennis Leary


Jason and I just finished reading his book, "Why We Suck. A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid." We love him on Rescue Me and find his dry humor and blatant honesty refreshing. I laughed out loud many times, enjoyed his satirical humor, and point of view. Some surprising finds in this book are his opinions on parenting (he strongly encourages breastfeeding, moms staying home with their young children if possible), his absolute adoration for his wife and children-he can't say enough thoughtful things about them, and his acknowledgement of the power of Oprah! This book is not for the faint of heart, for people without a sense of humor, or for those who take life too seriously...I would recommend it as a leisurely read. It's not meant to be deeply introspective.
