Art 2.0 of the Deal
Art 2.0 of the Deal: Donald J. Trump Hits the Wall is the cautionary tale of a self-proclaimed "stable genius" and modern day dystopian anti-hero ? la Winston in George Orwell's 1984. The "outsider" President soon proves himself to be unprepared and unfit to deal with a global pandemic that threatens the lives of U.S. citizens. More importantly to this incumbent, the "invisible enemy" endangered Trump's campaign and prospects for reelection.This art hysterical tour de farce - a portrait of our time - is a GPS through the Twilight Zone, filled with iconic visual CliffsNotes mile markers to art history, a reality show president, partisan politics, deals, corruption, the coronavirus pandemic, and a New Normal where life and fact are immeasurably stranger than fiction.The award-winning illustrator/author, Cathy Hull, skillfully guides readers through the harrowing twists and hairpin turns of the 2020 political landscape, 45's motivations and machinations, and the resulting unintended consequences. Fasten your seatbelt, it's a bumpy ride!Tired of all the rhetoric, pontification, and analysis? Just kick back and enjoy the artwork. Get the picture?Art 2.0 of the Deal opens with Trump's acquittal following his impeachment where the author's debut book, Art 101 of the Deal: Donald J. Trump Off the Wall left off. It concludes with the ultimate made-for-TV season finale or perhaps series cliffhanger: an uncertain future to be determined by voters in what conspiracy theorists such as POTUS himself call "a rigged election." The inefficiency of the electoral system combined with slow mail delivery during a pandemic are cause for concern; the plot never ceases to thicken. Take a front row seat and view the Trump Show in vivid detail and living color.Be aware - there is no intermission. This president, in effect, called dibs on the election avowing defeat was neither an option nor a possibility. Stay tuned. See what happens....Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Cathy Hull continue to be the gift that keeps on giving. Laughter is infectious. Pass it on.
Happy Birthday Mrs President
Once upon a time, in a strange, savage land, there lived a famous actress. In this absurd country, called the United States of America, nothing was based in reality. This performer was not much different from others in her field, as she was narcissistic and self-absorbed, but her trauma-filled past allowed her to bring something else to the table. This woman was fed by her own instability like a dog is fed by the chicken you left out on the kitchen counter. This actress was eventually swept to power by the upside-down nature of this nation's inhabitants. Winning her bid for the presidency, this budding politician quickly got the hang of governing, if "governing" means hallucinating her advisors and putting her own needs above the needs of the very people who elected her. While her deteriorating mental state might have helped her become a star, it's not box office numbers that are on the line... but nuclear codes. Now that she's in the Oval Office rather than a casting office, things a bit more... serious, to say the least.Intrigue breeds stardom! Stardom breeds influence! Influence breeds stardom... again! And stardom breeds power! If you pay attention to politics at all, then you know how all of these are intertwined. With our 24-hour news cycle, politics are about entertainment now. Our votes aren't based on policy, but on what we see on TV or on our social media feed. The economy isn't about money like it used to be. Now it's more like the spin of a wheel on a game show. Foreign policy used to be about diplomacy, right? Now, it's the plot of an action movie (and not even a good one). Elections aren't even politics, they're awards shows - and the speeches are worse! This book gets all that, but it dives even deeper. While politics may be entertainment, there's still a psychology to it. Sure, it's terrifying to delve into these haunted minds that run our country, there's not denying that what you'll find is hilarious. It's stomach-churningly hilarious, but hilarious, nonetheless. If you got this far, then you can at least start this book. If anything, it can at least fill that gap on your bookshelf (or in your list of ebooks). Buy it or steal it from the library today!

The Soul of Man
The Soul of Man By Oscar Wilde"The Soul of Man under Socialism" is an 1891 essay by Oscar Wilde in which he expounds a libertarian socialist worldview and a critique of charity.The writing of "The Soul of Man" followed Wilde's conversion to anarchist philosophy, following his reading of the works of Peter Kropotkin.In "The Soul of Man" Wilde argues that, under capitalism, "the majority of people spoil their lives by an unhealthy and exaggerated altruism-are forced, indeed, so to spoil them" instead of realising their true talents, they waste their time solving the social problems caused by capitalism, without taking their common cause away. Thus, caring people "seriously and very sentimentally set themselves to the task of remedying the evils that they see in poverty but their remedies do not cure the disease: they merely prolong it" because, as Wilde puts it, "the proper aim is to try and reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible."Wilde did not see kindness or altruism per se as a problem what worried him was its misapplication in a way which leaves unaddressed the roots of the problem: "the altruistic virtues have really prevented the carrying out of this aim. Just as the worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realised by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it, so, in the present state of things in England, the people who do most harm are the people who try to do most good" while preserving the system.Wilde's deepest concern was with man's soul when he analysed poverty and its causes and effects in "The Soul of Man under Socialism" it was not simply the material well-being of the poor that distressed him, but how society does not allow them to reach a form of self-understanding and enlightenment. He adopted Jesus of Nazareth as a symbol of the supreme individualist. Wilde advocated socialism, which, he argued, "will be of value simply because it will lead to individualism" and "substituting cooperation for competition will restore society to its proper condition ... and ensure material well being for each member of the community."Wilde examined the political conditions necessary for full self-development and devotion to art, arguing, "Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. There lies its immense value. For what it seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine."
College Blues
College Blues is a fictional tale based on the training that Cadets went through at the Royal Military College (Duntroon) in the late 1990's. It follows the life of Cadet Rickson as he manages to infuriate the staff and senior Cadets in his attempt to get through training. As he grinds his way through the numerous challenges that the College has in store for him, he figures out that he won't be able to do it alone. So, he bonds together with his classmates as they help each other to work their way through the field exercises, physical training and tactics lessons, as they continuously dodge the constant threat of ending up on one of the instructors' 'shit list'.The story illustrates how the rigours of military training turns raw youngsters into officers, but also how it builds friendships that will last them for the rest of their lives.

Sandy’s Daily Diaries
In March 2020, when social distancing was brought into operation, a pensioner in a Scottish village began to write a daily blog on social media for family and friends. Sandy's wry and amusing descriptions of his day to day life quickly caught the imagination of readers worldwide, and became compulsive reading for more than 1600 followers. Sandy's diaries are filled with gentle humour and sharp observation. Here you will meet Sandy and his wife M, along with the rest of their family, and read about their interactions with each other, with friends and neighbours and with random people. There are encounters with birds and animals, airlines and insurance companies - some of it friendly, some less so - but always light hearted and thoroughly entertaining. As the diaries start, Sandy charts his daily activities, such as shopping and housework, and laments the downturn in his social life as events are cancelled. As the story progresses and lockdown becomes a reality we learn that M is isolated at home with Sandy and the interactions between her industrious nature and his relaxed outlook lead to some entertaining situations. Painting and decorating, gardening, DIY, all lend themselves to Sandy's sense of fun. And as we progress through the diaries, past the milestones of twenty, fifty, one hundred days, we meet more characters including El Gato the stray cat, Angry Dog and Percy the persistent crow. There are encounters with the Hoover from Hell, the garden shed of doom and the dreaded Times Crossword. All punctuated with regular supplies of scones from the Lovely Italian Neighbour. There are 101 of these daily diaries, and every one of them will make you smile. The Covid-19 pandemic was a devastating experience for many people and Sandy doesn't trivialise that, but he manages to find humour in the most ordinary of situations and to see the funny side of a very serious situation.

Miss Haverly & Miss Cavendish
"A charming tale of two delightful ladies in the twilight of their lives. Come, let us take this rare opportunity to step into their home and discover the wonders of their grand antebellum manor. One should never refuse the chance for afternoon tea and the occasion for potentially spirited, and engaging conversation that most often comes with it. After all, hospitality is one of many facets that make the South truly genteel - to decline such a delightful invitation simply would be rude."With dark humor, dry wit, tongue-in-cheek nods to queer culture, and a liberal helping of mildew, Michael Congdon sentences the reader to sixty delightfully moribund minutes with two old horrible old women and their nicotine-addicted cat. The plague of 2020 provided the apt incentive for the series of vivid, Earl Grey-soaked descriptions which combine to create the single hour of decaying Southern Gothic which is Miss Haverly & Miss Cavendish. Artist Marie Gagnon's illustrations enhance this quintessential experience of black mold, dry rot, and imminent doom.Michael Congdon is slowly and stubbornly working to establish himself as an author of multiple genres. His first publication was the 2005 cookbook, S.O.U.P.S., followed mere fifteen years later with It Is Best to Die In Your Sleep, a collection of essays, short stories, recipes, and pornographic farce.

Eine Ameise mit Bienenflei? hat eine Meise
"Sprachk羹rze gibt Denkweite." (Jean Paul) Die nonfiktionale Kurzprosa des isolierbar pointierten Aphorismus ist leider heruntergekommen zu lustiger Bl繹delei oder seichtem Gesinnungsspruch und sollte doch rehabilitiert werden als ein philosophischer Gehalt in literarischer Gestalt, als satirisches Zwerg-R瓣tsel, als paradoxes Erkenntnisspiel zwischen Bild und Begriff, Gef羹hl und Gedanke, Metapher und Metaphysik, Phantasie und Verstand, Einbildungskraft und Urteilskraft. Dieses Bonmot ist das "kleinstm繹gliche Ganze". Die pr瓣gnante Sentenz ist eine leider immer noch zu kurz kommende Literaturgattung. Die vieldeutigen "Maximen und Reflexionen" bieten rationale Vernunftkritik in konzisen Gedankenexperimenten und stellen sich in die fast vergessene Tradition fr羹hromantischer Fragmente und europ瓣ischer Moralisten, die seit dem 17. Jahrhundert die "mores" analysierten, die Sitten und Gebr瓣uche ihrer Epochen. "Der Aphorismus ist nur aus seiner Stellung zwischen Philosophie und Poesie beschreibbar." (Stephan Fedler, 1992)

What’s the Big Idea?
What's the Big Idea? is a smart aleck's commentary on the intersection between faith and science told through the lens of the author's own personal journey of belief. It uses both humor and heart to lay out overwhelming evidence for the existence of an Intelligent Designer. This book is aimed at our current short attention span society that is fluent in both cynicism and sarcasm. People who appreciate The Onion and The Babylon Bee will enjoy the satirical approach the author uses when he dissects both science and religion. Readers of The Case for Christ will be drawn to the well-researched information explaining why Christianity is a faith founded on reason and intellect while Christian parents of teens and millennials will appreciate a book they can share with their children that proves theirs is not a mindless faith. Throughout the book, the reader will be stunned by the awe-inspiring amount of precise fine tuning our world and universe demand as well as be amazed at how much information they've totally forgotten since high school.

Tales to Tell My Daughters
"My intention with "Tales to Tell My Daughters" is to entertain and enlighten, drawing from my experiences. In so doing, I have no intent to hurt or insult anybody. This will not be a tell-all or even a biography as, although biographies (Ali, Einstein, Napoleon, etc.) are high on my Goodreads list of books read, I have no pretension that my life needs to be captured in such a manner - by me or anyone else. So if you are mentioned, directly by name or inference, it is in good fun, and I hope you enjoy the read. Perhaps I even got your name right."

More importantly to this incumbent, the "invisible enemy" endangered Trump's campaign and prospects for reelection.This art hysterical tour de farce - a portrait of our time - is a GPS through the Twilight Zone, filled with iconic visual CliffsNotes mile markers to art history, a reality show president, partisan politics, deals, corruption, the coronavirus pandemic, and a New Normal where life and fact are immeasurably stranger than fiction.The award-winning illustrator/author, Cathy Hull, skillfully guides readers through the harrowing twists and hairpin turns of the 2020 political landscape, 45's motivations and machinations, and the resulting unintended consequences. Fasten your seatbelt, it's a bumpy ride!Tired of all the rhetoric, pontification, and analysis? Just kick back and enjoy the artwork. Get the picture?Art 2.0 of the Deal opens with Trump's acquittal following his impeachment where the author's debut book, Art 101 of the Deal: Donald J. Trump Off the Wall left off. It concludes with the ultimate made-for-TV season finale or perhaps series cliffhanger: an uncertain future to be determined by voters in what conspiracy theorists such as POTUS himself call "a rigged election." The inefficiency of the electoral system combined with slow mail delivery during a pandemic are cause for concern; the plot never ceases to thicken. Take a front row seat and view the Trump Show in vivid detail and living color.Be aware - there is no intermission. This president, in effect, called dibs on the election avowing defeat was neither an option nor a possibility. Stay tuned. See what happens....Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Cathy Hull continue to be the gift that keeps on giving. Laughter is infectious. Pass it on.

2020
★★★★ 2020 - The Year We Were All Cancelled! ★★★★★Stella, former political cartoonist for the Morning Star from 2015-2020, now the weekly cartoonist at uncancelled.co.uk, revisits 2020, the strangest year of our lives. Stella is known in the radical feminist world for her uncompromising, yet unmalicious style. To quote the Morning Star's Arts reviewer: "She is one of this country's most incisive political cartoonists... she frequently subverts the mundanity of the everyday with barbed commentaries on the political scene".
The Next Hundred Lears
Edward Lear is remembered, and rightly so, as the Father of the Limerick. Were it not for him, this little five line verse form may never have become such a beloved, ubiquitous part of our literary and popular culture.Yet the very thing that makes the limerick so appealing held no appeal for Edward Lear. The final line of his verses brought no twist, and sought no giggle. It was a summing up, and nothing more.But Lear had opened Victorian eyes to the possibilities inherent in the limerick: A Book of Nonsense was a runaway bestseller.In 1872 Lear published one hundred new limericks, hoping to repeat his earlier success. But while his original verses are still fondly remembered today, still anthologised, still quoted in mainstream and social media, his next hundred limericks are unknown.Why?Because the limerick had moved on without him, acquiring a life of its own and romping towards the twentieth century with outlandish, irreverent and often obscene delight.And Lear couldn't follow. It just wasn't in his nature to go there. So having launched the boat, he now stood alone on the dock and watched it sail off into the distance.Limericks After Lear breathes new life into Edward Lear's creations. Book One, The Fifth Line, took A Book of Nonsense as its starting point and sent all 112 verses off in new directions.Book Two retrieves those lost, forgotten verses of 1872 and presents them complete: all 100 of Lear's originals, plus a brand new limerick for each that, I hope, will make you giggle.They're family-friendly, too: )
