liberals making way too much noise. Slak takes his audience on a

thereof, influences the mindless. In his words, "celebrities and
morons are killing this country." Join Slak as he asks obvious
questions such as: Why do we accept illegal Mexican maids and fruit
pickers but no one else? Why do fat people think they have rights?
Why do companies promote Holiday Parties but have Christmas trees?
Slak also examines why racial slurs - and Al Sharpton and others of
his ilk - always gain so much press coverage. Explore an array of
other hot-button topics, such as corporate greed and what motivates
environmentalists and animal rights groups in The 28th Amendment:

"T Pot was born in a heavy fog at twilight on a gray ship crossing
the international dateline traveling the direction of yesterday at
the end of February on one of the leap years in the middle of the
last century or so. He was born breech in no country to parents who
may have adored him had they survived his birth instead of one day
later falling happily tipsy backwards overboard." "A mind which
flits aimlessly from one stray thing to another, while it's body is
doing whatever, easily spots random interfucking thoughtons
instapopping into novel wordimages. Before "mind projectors" all
people relied on pencil drawing to record the crazy thoughts
gamboling through their heads. Pencil means pensive and inexpensive
or tail tip dipped in blood which eventually became pointed wood
stick with a graphite-clay core. Technically, T Pot is one of
billions of primitive people still employing pencils for prolonging
the lives of their thoughts."

"This Crazy Thing Called Life" is a book that makes witty and
satirical comments about the journey we're all on, the journey we
call life. Through his observations of human nature, and the human
condition the author has formed his own unique perspective and has
made comments, regarding those matters that most effects our lives,
focusing on love, marriage, money, politics, education, religion,
and life in general. At the same time he continually makes the
point that we are all responsible for our own lives and that we can
make it what ever we want. With comments, quotes, paraphrases, as
well as pictures, the writer drives home his observations much in
the style of Andy Rooney, and Art Buchwald. "This CrazyThing Called
Life" entertains with humorous comments and pictures, but all the
while it provokes thought about a multitude of subjects that we all
experience on the roller coaster ride of life.
Taking up the role of laughter in society, How the Other Half
Laughs: The Comic Sensibility in American Culture, 1895-1920
examines an era in which the US population was becoming
increasingly multiethnic and multiracial. Comic artists and
writers, hoping to create works that would appeal to a diverse
Audience, had to formulate a method for making the "other half"
laugh. In magazine fiction, vaudeville, and the comic strip, the
oppressive conditions of the poor and the marginalized were
portrayed unflinchingly, yet with a distinctly comic sensibility
that grew out of caricature and ethnic humor.Author Jean Lee Cole
analyzes Progressive Era popular culture, providing a critical
angle to approach visual and literary humor about ethnicity-how
avenues of comedy serve as expressions of solidarity,
commiseration, and empowerment. Cole's argument centers on the
comic sensibility, which she defines as a performative act that
fosters feelings of solidarity and community among the
marginalized. Cole stresses the connections between the worlds of
art, journalism, and literature and the people who produced
them-including George Herriman, R. F. Outcault, Rudolph Dirks,
Jimmy Swinnerton, George Luks, and William Glackens-and traces the
form's emergence in the pages of Joseph Pulitzer's New York World
and William Randolph Hearst's Journal-American and how it
influenced popular fiction, illustration, and art. How the Other
Half Laughs restores the newspaper comic strip to its rightful
place as a transformative element of American culture at the turn
into the twentieth century.
Thought provoking, not daunting. Humorous, not obnoxious. Mr.
Baird's incorrigible collection of excerpts stem from every walk of
life, spoken with the true voice of reason. The most practical
aspect of these musings is the hilarity behind them, reminding us
to procrastinate, pray, dream, and realize
It was a time when color television was the newest technology, the
hula hoop was the latest fad and the evening news typically began
with coverage of the Vietnam War. At 116 Nevada Street in Dubuque,
Iowa, life was reasonably good. In this memoir, author Roger
Neuhaus reminisces about his life in this time period, growing up
as one of eight children in a strict Catholic family. Nostalgic and
often humorous, "(Mostly) True Confessions of a Recovering
Catholic" tells of a neighborhood filled with youthful adventures
and an array of Catholic grade school and church experiences,
including a colorful cast of mischievous characters. This anthology
of anecdotes takes place from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s,
addressing the changing times of the era. Neuhaus narrates tales of
a simpler time and place, one filled with the wonder, excitement,
and playfulness of youth. "(Mostly) True Confessions of a
Recovering Catholic" shows how the teachings of the Catholic Church
and his family's core values worked to shape the future of one
young man.
"Ignorense is Blis" is a collection of humorous short quotes,
stories, jokes, and situations from the white board of Tom Willis,
a high school science teacher in his 20th year. Tom has been using
these jokes for years to greet students as they enter his classroom
and get them into a better mood for learning. The humor spans from
simple puns to complex science related wit meant to inspire and
entertain the academically inclined through the daily drudgery of
everyday school (or work) monotony.
Humor. In his ninth book, author Karl Beckstrand captures with
simplicity the essence of non-offensive, politically correct
communication. With so much that is disturbing, distasteful, and
degrading in the world, he offers something safe for the entire
family. Beckstrand encourages (in a witty way) the expression of
important ideas and respectful dialogue-which often lead to
serendipitous solutions that neither side would have arrived at
without the other. He makes a strong statement about the problems
with political correctness-especially unconstitutional limits on
free speech. 66-page, perfect-bound, 5.5" x 8.5" soft cover book by
Karl Beckstrand, available via Premio Publishing & Gozo Books,

As a licensed social worker, Arnitia Walker has seen it all. She's
met people from every walk of life-all trying to find their own way
in this crazy world-but she's paid particular attention to the
other sex. In Shake 'Em Up & They All Fall Out the Same Anitia
offers up a humorous, tongue-in-cheek catalog of the various types
of men she's known, including: Married - This guy is devoted to his
wifey. He wears his wedding ring with pride. He has a true tan line
on his ring finger because he never takes the darn ring off. He
takes care of home, and his wife is his first priority. He would
never dream of hurting her. Cheater - This guy couldn't be faithful
if he was sitting in a church. He does not know the meaning of
monogamy. To him, women are like a box of candy: soft, chewy,
caramel, chocolate, smooth, fluffy, etc. He's just got to sample
them all. He has to have a variety of women to meet all of his
needs. Minute man - No, he's not the watch repairman. Need I say
more? Filled with amusing descriptions of men, this book will shed
new light on your past, current, and potential relationships. These
men are your brothers, uncles, fathers, boyfriends, and husbands.
As a woman, you've probably already encountered at least one man
who's portrayed in this book-and if you haven't, hold on-he's
probably just around the corner. For further information please
