Spanking the Donkey
Author: Matt Taibbi
Publisher: The New Press
ISBN: 1620974452
Category : Deception
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
An up-close look at the democratic race for the White House—it isn't pretty Spanking the Donkey is a campaign diary like no other. Celebrated reporter Matt Taibbi turns a withering eye on the kissing contest of puffed-up martinets and egomaniacal fantasists more generally known as the 2004 Democratic primaries. Taibbi's contempt for the whole charade, and for most of those involved (including a generous helping of his fellow journalists), makes for a searing and highly entertaining account. His refusal to take the proceedings seriously leads him to volunteer for Wesley Clark's New Hampshire campaign in the guise of an adult-film director, while his take on a John Edwards press conference in New York City is filtered through the haze of hallucinogenic drugs. Taking up residence in slums and halfway houses as he follows the circus around the country, Taibbi juxtaposes an idiotic dog-and-pony show in which clashes of plainly identical candidates are presented as real controversies, with the quite separate concerns of the ordinary Americans whose lodgings he shares. The gap between the antiseptic exercise in faint patriotic optimism that is mainstream politics and the harsh realities of life for the millions of Americans that the electoral parade simply passes by has never been more sharply, or hilariously, sketched.

Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
Tommy and Tina are childhood friends who enjoy exploring nature and looking for animals and creatures that live in the forest and around the lakes where they live. Tommy and Tina packed a picnic lunch and decided to take a walk in the forest near their house. There was an old rotten log near the stream and thousands of termites were flying out of the log. Some of the termites had long wings, some were a milky white and some had pinchers in front of their heads. Tommy and Tina spread their blanket under the big oak tree and watched the termites fly into the forest while they were enjoying their lunch. Tommy and Tina were wondering where the termites were flying too, maybe they thought the termites were looking for a new home in the forest. Tommy and Tina meet and talk to many animals in the forest while they searched for a new home for themselves.

Here Is What You Do
Author: Chris Dennis
Publisher: Soho Press
ISBN: 1641290366
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
A debut short story collection that explores the vulnerability, grit, and complex nature of our humanity from a new, vital queer voice. A yacht races to outrun a tsunami. A young man jailed on a drug charge forms a relationship with his cellmate that is by turns tender and brutal. A family buys a rural slaughterhouse, and tensions with their religious neighbors quickly escalate. A teen raised by his eccentric gay father, a Turkish immigrant, finds his life fractured by violence. A fictionalized Coretta Scott King, surveilled and harassed by the FBI, considers the costs of her life with her husband. Here Is What You Do is a bravura, far-ranging collection, its stories linked by sorrow and latent hope, each one drilling toward its characters’ darkest emotional centers. In muscularly robust prose, with an unfailing eye for human drives and frailties, Chris Dennis captures the raw need, desire, cruelty, and promise that animate our lives.
