Book Description
The image of the FBI Special Agent, since the days of J. Edgar Hoover, has been carefully crafted as being polite, clean shaven young men and pleasantly smiling women whose hallmarks are polite words and good manners. Author Jack Owens goes behind that facade and shares the human side of the FBI. With a breezy sweep of the 30 years of his life as a Special Agent, Owens, with his remarkable wit, introduces the reader to a new type of FBI Agent- one who could appreciate the irony and humour of life and laughed and "cussed", yes "cussed", as he met those ironies and idiosyncrasies in the field in Alabama. Owens' shares his unique perspective with the reader from his early days as an FBI trainee through chasing spies, terrorists and assorted "bad guys", putting down a prison riot and setting up roadblocks for desperadoes where, occasionally, he encountered some good people too.

Book Description
This just in - two volumes of political satire poking fun at the Republican Party is not nearly enough. At the rate the GOP is going, 222 volumes may not be enough. That brings us to LOL at the GOP - Volume 3: Guns Don't Kill, Cars Don't Drive, and Ovens Don't Bake. In it, author Craig Rozniecki answers the following questions: Are spoons, credit cards, & ping-pong balls as dangerous as guns? Do guns, churches, breakfasts, & library books have so much in common they may match one another on EHarmony.com? Is it more deadly to shoot fictional characters with a toy gun in a video game than it is to shoot people with an actual gun in real life? Also, with this book, learn all about: Why it's more moral for former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford to cheat on his wife than it is for a gay couple to get married, why conserving the environment is such a turn-off for conservatives, & what House Speaker John Boehner's favorite three-word phrase is (surprisingly it's not "I love orange!" or "Crying is sexy!").
