The Tofflers were a couple of old folks who couldn't figure out how to program their VCRs, so they began writing about the "shock" of technology and how we needed government planning to deal with technological overload.

Alvin Toffler published Future Shock in 1970, when he was 41 or 42. He wrote most of it in the 1960s when very few people had VCRs.

I don't actually disagree with her much about the Tofflers or Newt Gingrich, but this habit of treating everyone she disagrees with disrespectfully for cheap laughs can be pretty grating.

Sometimes her tongue gets stuck in her cheek.

It's poetic license. I guess if you have a bunch of bestsellers you can push it a little.

She does have a bizarre sense of humor, which I like.
