Max Armstrong delves into the new book by Dan Glickman, Laughing at Myself: My Education in Congress, on the Farm, and at the Movies. Glickman has interesting views about our country, politics and agriculture, including the cooperation between members of congress in his day. "Don't let the political become the personal," he says. He also said humor was the glue of building bridges, and that life's ups and downs certainly shaped him.
