Buy My Book!

Now specially priced at 99 cents (Kindle, on Amazon). It's called Political Rants: Lefty Vitriol in the age of Obama and Trump. It's been out since last August. Self promotion is not one of my many talents. This is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Political-Rants-Lefty-Vitriol-Obama-ebook/dp/B07WKF3L95

Here's a short blurb that I like:

"An exciting look at the decade leading up to Trump. See prosperity evaporating like a puddle in the sun! Relive the slow death of the dream that was American Democracy! It's a heart-pounding story of mayhem and racism. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder, 'what were we thinking?' Caligula ruled Rome for 1,400 days. Soon we'll find out if Trump can beat that record."

This book is a real bargain at 99 cents. Hell, it would be a bargain at a few dollars. It's 110,000 words of my best political posts, after a good line-edit for clarity. The book includes the election campaigns of 2008, 2012, and 2016. I like to reference cultural events and little ironies (2016 saw the election of Trump and the Jubilee Year of the Dada Movement). There are two intentionally humorous posts. There is a lot of talk about racism, because Obama was the president for eight years and there was a lot to talk about. Who knows, you might enjoy it.

Here is an example of the things I included in the book. (This is the blog version, because it was a lot easier to cut and paste.)
