Book Description
In addition to sharing detailed accounts of her highest highs and lowest lows, as well as her scathing views on the state of public affairs today, Mayor Lois Griffin also shares the pages of this book with the people who put her in office. By giving them such a strong voice in this record of history, she not only reveals how Quagmire pimped out the vote, Peter sold out to the media, Meg coped with sudden celebrity through sullen poetry, Stewie mounted yet another terrorist plot against her, disgraced former mayor West recovered from defeat, and she herself succumbed to the temptations of the job, she also reveals just how valuable she holds the ideals of democracy. Part biography, part town-ography, this no-holds-barred book comes with a strong message for all: It takes a village—and sometimes even a village idiot’s wife—to set things right in America again.

Book Description
In the Spring of 2007, FAMILY GUY's Lois Pewterschmidt Griffin will be at the centre of a political uprising as she unseats longtime Mayor Adam West under a cloud of scandal to become the first female mayor in the history of Quahog. Shortly thereafter she'll join the ranks of controversial public figures who serve and tell, announcing the publication of her memoir entitled "It Takes A Village Idiot, And I Married One". In addition to Lois' views on the state of public 'affairs', the book will contain contributions from Peter Griffin, who promises to reveal hidden secrets about his wife's tenure in office; Stewie, who provides details of his heinous assassination attempts on his own mother; and from Meg who inflicts her shockingly bad teenage poetry on the constituents of Quahog, as well as entries from Cleveland, Quagmire and the disgraced former Mayor West among others.

Book Description
In a world of post truth politics, alternative facts, and fake news, there really are better and worse ways to think about things and that disagreement need not lead to incivility, hatred, or violence. The title of the book implies that some ideas are better than others. But what makes them better? Luckily, much of the hard work has already been done. Philosophers, mathematicians, logicians, scientists, writers, and many others have developed the Critical Thinking skills that allow all of us to make such valued distinctions. I have taken these skills, and distilled them into six steps. After learning these Six Steps, you will more effectively communicate what it is you believe and why it is you believe it so that people will have an easier time understanding you. You will be empowered with the ability to better understand what people are saying and to know why it is they are saying it. Your thinking will become better as well because what emerges from your ability to understand and use these skills is an element of diplomacy and fairness when having discussions about important issues. And this leads directly to more civilized disagreement.
