The purpose of this book is to make people laugh a little, the world needs to lighten up. Though I realize it will probably accomplish little, I do make some critical, social commentary from time to time. My reasoning is this, why should the joke always be on us? Some of the 'biggies' need to learn to take a joke once in a while. Most of them tend to take themselves much too seriously; they can be replaced. Also, in most cases, we, the general public...

The "Oh Daddy Chronicles" is a contemporary political satire. It pokes fun at everything and everyone, but especially at the 45th President of the United States - a guy named Trump. The book takes current events and explains what really happened. Why did the President walk to the St. John's Church and hold up a Bible? How did the President's cognitive exam really play out? And why was the Rose Garden turned into a Bean Garden?
Helping to carry the...

He tapped into fears of the country to put together votes and amazingly, alarmingly, got what he wanted. He was an awful President, he complained about a lot. During his time he never cared about the job.

Sitting in my Parliamentary Office nearly two weeks after the 2010 Election, the Australian people are still somewhat uncertain as to who will lead them over the coming three years. As you'll read in this book, I make that observation with a sense of pride rather than with concern. Australia's Democracy is like Jimmy Barnes: it can abuse itself endlessly and still rock at the end of the day. Whatever the final composition of the Government, I'm confident...

These three short satires cement Preston Coleman's place as the freshest, most irreverent voice in American politics. On the heels of "The Lost Gospel of Donald," this compilation adds a short, sharp left to the knockout blow landed so squarely to the right in that controversial work.
What "The Lost Gospel of Donald" does to Mr. Trump, "Those Arkansaw Bumkins" did to Mr. and Ms. Clinton two decades ago. Subtitled "A Gremlin in His Goober," this filthy...

Many words have been used to describe Donald Trump: infantile, fascist, narcissist, buffoon (to name but a very few).
All are accurate, as far as they go. Yet, in isolation, they describe only a very small part of the whole. To understand the man in his entirety, a more comprehensive study is warranted.
Syd Boyle has taken on this enormous task by presenting quotes from the former president covering a wide range of topics, each accompanied by...

This book is a series of letters to written Senator Paul Ryan from his #1 Groupie, praising his budget proposal for its bold ideas on issues like defense (we need to protect those defense industry profits. Our brave members of the military deserve no less!), taxes (Raising taxes to help pay down the national debt is such a stupid idea! That will just destroy the economic recovery that the Bush tax cuts will create any time now.) and entitlements (If...

In the spring of 2015, Americans were enthused about the upcoming 2016 Presidential Election.

The campaign started with Secretary Hillary Clinton's 'spontaneous' road trip to Iowa in a Scooby Doo van in April 2015. Not only did Secretary Clinton meet many ordinary Americans, she learned about self-serve...

The novel A Shortage of Sand by J.E. Jansen offers a unique take on the early days of the Obama administration. Humorous and sexy this may be, but at its core is a scathing political satire. Numerous laughs come at the expense of Eric Holder, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Bill and Hillary, Rahm Emanuel, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Al Gore, the Mainstream Media, and the President himself. If you feel that Barack Obama's policies have delivered more than...

FROM THE INTRODUCTION TO MY MANUSCRIPT:
Introduction
I suppose I always thought I would write a book someday. But like a real book — one with chapters, and these chapters would have titles. There would also be an index, maybe a dedication page, all that kinda real book stuff. But writing an entire non-fiction book, upward of 200 pages, is a lot of work and a lot of research, and let's face it, I'm kinda lazy.
I still did want to scribe a book,...

There's an epidemic sweeping across America but no one's taking it seriously. The infected look like normal Americans, at first, but then they open their mouths and foreign words leap out known only to inhabitants of their special nation: left coaster, mama grizzly, Obamacare, drill baby drill; or neocon, glass ceiling, teabagger, I didn't inhale. Drop the word "multiculturalism" and half of them will have an immediate allergy-like reaction. Their...
