In this epic sequel to The American Nutcracker, political satirist
N.O. Slak hits another home run for everyone who is tired of
liberals making way too much noise. Slak takes his audience on a
hilarious ride throughout Hollywood, Washington, D.C. and beyond.
He rejects the notion that only celebrities have a microphone, and
he contends that their knowledge about global warming, or the lack
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:
Who is the Village Idiot?
Funny things that people do in everyday life. You can sit back and

My name is Gear Bear (and for the record, "Gear" rhymes with
"Bear"). I am a small, brown bear who has had the opportunity and
pleasure of great travel, and these are my stories.
I am a very lucky bear for so many reasons. I get to travel just
about everywhere my friends and family go-but sometimes they get so
excited about being someplace new that they leave me behind, forget
me, or lose me. I've even been bearnapped But no matter what
happens, I am always ready for a new adventure.
I have a lot of miles under my belt and many stamps in my
passport. I've traveled on a canoe down the Wisconsin River-through
a nude beach, no less-on the back of a motorcycle to the Sturgis
Bike Rally, and on the back of a horse through the Ozark Mountains.
I've even had a ghost encounter at a local establishment and a
search-and-rescue mission with the help of a US Marshal
I've traveled by plane, train, and automobile, and more. It
seems that no matter where I go or what I do, trouble and adventure
seem to follow.

thirty-something A.D. Experience the greatest story ever told from
a unique perspective in this religious parody of a children's game
book for adults.In "You Are the Messiah , " take a humorous and
irreverant journey through the life of Jesus Christ-the lives he
touches, the miracles he executes, and the roads he travels during

powers, and ultimately, to his tortured sacrifice on the cross as
he struggles with becoming humanity's unlucky savior.Turn the page,
but watch out. The choices made at the end of each plot point can
either further the story along the correct path, lead to crazy side
stories, or end in a comically brutal death-or much worse.Along the
way, you'll get the chance to answer one age-old question: What
would Jesus really do?
Ask anyone who knows him: Paddy Pest is a real character.
Paddy is an Australian crime fighter with a dubious Irish
background, an overwhelming abundance of confidence, and a handful
of bad habits. His enthusiasm for finding trouble is only exceeded
by his incompetence.
Fortunately, his pal and sometime sidekick, Stormy Weathers, is
usually available to rescue him from his ill-advised forays into
foolish and reckless situations-frequently involving the fairer
sex. From Yvette Baguette, the delightfully French gendarme, to
Paddy's nemesis, Nadia Nickoff-the minx from Minsk-Paddy is a
lady's man all the way.
Murder and mayhem are all in a day's work for this Aussie crime
fighter. He needs his wits to survive the onslaught of the
disreputable rogues and villains who are out to get him. Paddy's
life is one big, unbelievable adventure after another. And now,
he's got a certain lady on a certain train who needs his help-or
does she?
The world needs someone like Paddy Pest-and if you doubt that,
just ask him

spent as a university technician, Vic found himself fighting a
different world: his very own pulmonary embolism in both lungs. The
doctors are baffled and can't understand why your man is in their
intensive care ward. On the long road to recovery, Vic recounts

his way to the doctors and nurses of University College London
Hospital. As the silent and unseen internal blood clots dissolve,

air in Ireland is clean and it hardly ever rains, well hardly
ever'. The author exchanges his world for one of science based
academic career in Dublin and a new life in Ireland. On a very wet
day in Dublin the true love Trish comes passing by and they married
on a warm summer's day. They now spend their new lives on the
