A brief on my vision on why I would write a stark eye view of the political arena. Sometimes I can't help but have strong feelings that the Lord and my Guarding Angel Michael is constantly on my shoulder watching over me and nudging me on. I'll cite an example that happened to me back when G.W. Bush and AI Gore were in the final throes of trying to determine who was the real elected President. Florida was the center of the crisis. Well about one a.m. in the morning I woke up with a word in my head. I had no idea where it came from. I had never heard it - wasn't sure why it was there- since I hadn't seen it before. It frustrated me to the point of looking it up in the new world dictionary. After hunting for the word that I was unsure of the spelling, I found the word Conflagration which meant a great and destructive fire. My frustration led me to the computer and I started typing an article. At approximately 9 am, I had completed an article that was ready for the opinion page of the Vero Beach Press Journal newspaper. My creativity had turned a great destructive fire into a destructive verbal fire. As an aside, this is one of many reasons for arriving at the book title- "POLITICAL BALDERDASH." Buy it, read it, you'll like it!

Balderdash & Poppycock provides a wry & irreverent chronology of the Social, Economic, Political, Financial, Business, Labor and Legal events that got us here. From the first bank bailout by Alexander Hamilton to the Contract with America that helped create the housing bubble; from Shay's Rebellion brought about by monetary policy of the times to the abuses by bankers and politicians of the late Twentieth and early Twenty First Century you will enjoy insights into the nature of the American Experience and Democracy at work that will make you laugh, anger you and have you shaking your head at the stupidity that passed for wisdom. Follow the Supreme Court decisions that opened the markets for big banking and how those decisions created an environment for financial abuses as Congress failed to recognize the dangers presented by those decisions despite the warnings of the court. Follow the path allowing the egregious behavior of the Wall Street banks and beltway politicians tantamount to the Railroad tycoons and the associated scandals of the 19th century that brought us to the financial crisis of the early 21st century. Everybody gets thrown under the bus, Demon-Krates, Rip-Offli-Kans, Inde-pundits and Liber-tinKs in all their Kafkaesque glory as they get slammed as factionalism, ignorance, greed, power lust and apathy destroyed the financial foundation of the nation.

This rollicking and fascinating picture book biography chronicles the life of the first pioneer of children's books—John Newbery himself. While most children's books in the 18th century contained lessons and rules, John Newbery imagined them overflowing with entertaining stories, science, and games. He believed that every book should be made for the reader's enjoyment. Newbery—for whom the prestigious Newbery Medal is named—became a celebrated author and publisher, changing the world of children's books forever. This book about his life and legacy is as full of energy and delight as any young reader could wish.

Advancing social ideas that do not demand obedience or compliance requires far more personal patience than simply forcing others to comply via the political ballot box. The widely held idea that dicta and force can serve a useful purpose will eventually fade into backward thinking in the so-called public sector as it has in the private sector. Time, nature, reason, and the human spirit will see to that. Irrespective of good intentions or the approval by consensus, nature's unrelenting feedback will gradually drive ruling political authorities to extinction.
