Ask Mr. Smartypants
Call him Ceiling Fan Man. Call him Sticker-Shock Guy. Or even Ignacio Finkelstein, Roller-Rink King. Lane Filler, columnist for the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, is all this and more in his new Hub City book. Filler is, quite simply, one of the funniest newspaper columnists writing in America today, a feat made more impressive by the fact that he is not, strictly speaking, a humorist.

The Return of Radio Free Bubba
In the words of author Meg Barnhouse, "We're sort of the smart-aleck
liberal chapter of Bubbas." In a sequel to their fabulously successful
first book, The Best of Radio Free Bubba, they are at it again. The
Return of Radio Free Bubba is chock-full of that unique Radio Free
Bubba wisdom that they shared with public radio listeners on a
dozen stations throughout the Carolinas.

The Best of Radio Free Bubba
Four commentators from the Carolinas' popular public radio program,
"Radio Free Bubba," are included in this collection of social
commentary that is passionate, humorous and offbeat. No subject is
off-limits to these "kinder and gentler" Bubbas, who address everything
from pizza delivery and permanent waves to tabloids and war toys.
