Want to Live in the White House?



We live in a country of opportunities. Every citizen is told with perseverance and drive; they can achieve their goals. No matter what your background you can dream of attaining the highest position in the land.

During the current presidential campaign, we’ve learned that any Tom, Dick or Donald can make a run for the White House. No matter if you’ve had a humble beginning living in a one room cabin, or if you threw Tic Tacs at your nanny while sitting in a gold encrusted high chair, you can throw your spiffy, redneck baseball cap into the political ring.

Experience and knowledge are no longer a prerequisite for the job. Anyone can descend a golden escalator with their trophy spouse and declare their candidacy. You’ll also need some cash to back your campaign, but that is easy to do. Write a cheerful letter to the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, or save money by not paying your income tax.

It does appear that a modicum of knowledge is preferable when the heat of the campaign kicks in. Being able to answer a simple question about our democracy or to debate with rational thought can be important.

That’s why I.B. Publishing has just released The U.S. Presidency for Dummies - available at Barnes & Noble and on Amazon. This reference manual takes the complex issues of global and domestic politics and dumbs it way down. 

It’s Democracy 101 for the less than intelligent. This book is a hands-on, hit the campaign trail resource guide. The book is filled with helpful charts, graphs, maps, cheat sheets and a CD-ROM that will provide you with a complete list of world leaders so you can pick a favorite.

You’ll have important political facts and some helpful tips on how to sound presidential. Key phrases like “bigly,” “I’ve been hearing,” “people are saying,” and “I have the best temperament to be president ever,” will help you wow the media.

This book will also dispel any misinformation that might be clouding a less than seasoned political brain. These are just highlights of facts you’ll learn:

1. Diana Ross was never part of the Supreme Court.
2. LGBTQ is not a sandwich on Denny’s menu.
3. The Nuclear Triad is not the third Terminator movie.
4. Aleppo is not a can of dog food.
5. The National Inquirer is not an intelligence briefing document.

The U.S. Presidency for Dummies is loaded with information, and it is broken into easy to absorb sections for ADD candidates. You’ll be able to flip thorough the guide while you send out important tweets at 3 AM.

You don’t need public service experience or a previous political position, you just need a “huge” ego, tiny baby hands and addle-brained followers. This comprehensive guide can help you make it through the primaries and be within groping distance of the White House.

If you’ve thought about sitting behind the desk at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, pickup your copy today. You’ll have all the knowledge, you can remember, to make your 2020 bid for the White House.

We already have a dummy running in this year’s race.

    The life in the White House has both advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, everyone would have agreed to receive such privileges for the certain services.

Waking Up in Vegas - Happy 2014!

Neither, Gary or I, are really gamblers, so we try to find other activities to occupy our time when visiting Vegas. We have visited Red Rock, Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire State Park on previous visits. We had even traveled as far as Zion National Park in Utah, during an earlier stay. There are definitely natural beauties to discover while in Nevada, and they have nothing to do with showgirls or stripper poles. This visit was about relaxation and ringing in the New Year, so we didn’t need to stray far from Vegas this time. We bought tickets for a concert featuring Kristin Chenoweth. She is a very talented singer and actress best known from Broadway shows, movies, and multiple guest appearances on GLEE. The concert was on New Year’s Eve at the newly built Smith Center. Although she is about three feet tall, Kristin has a powerhouse voice. She sang songs from her career and, of course, sang one of my favorites “For Good” from WICKED. It was a great way to ...

Mental Health - Destroy the Stigma

I believe that I am a fearless writer. I share my personal experiences, thoughts and beliefs. I’ve not been afraid to express my emotions. Self-expression is fundamental to writing. I am a man of my words Recently, I became concerned that my blogs about depression and mental health might shape my reader’s opinions of me in a negative way.   The more I thought about it, I realized that I had internalized the stigma that surrounds mental health. Stigma is defined as “a mark of disgrace or infamy.” The word bears a negative connotation and it devalues the person to whom the stigma is applied. While the conversation about mental health is receiving a larger forum, damaging misconceptions are widespread. According to surveys, there are between 42.5-46 million adults in the US that have some type of mental illness.   Statistics show that one in four adults experience mental illness in a given year. These numbers of individuals are all impacted in some manner b...

Summer Adventures Part 2 – The Backyard Backlot to Broadway

  My childhood summers weren’t all the glitz and glamor of vacationing with cousins, wobbly shopping carts and bloody feet. Actually, most of my summer days were spent right at home in my yard. My parents never took a vacation. Our family never packed its bags and took off for other ports of call.   I never boarded a plane, a boat, or a train for a family adventure. My adventures were self-created. They were products of an imaginative mind that could travel to the moon, ride the rapids in the Amazon Jungle and lead a battle for the Knights of the Round Table, all before a lunch of Spaghettios with a side of Hawaiian Punch . I have always loved going to the movies. This helped provide the inspiration to my over active mind. The Saturday afternoon matinee was a childhood staple for me. The smell of fresh popcorn as you entered the lobby and the crisp cold air of the air-conditioned theater helped set the atmosphere on those hot, summer afternoons. I would get lost in the d...

Depression, Drugs & DNA

When diagnosed with Clinical Depression, my doctor recommended medication to help the illness. The art of medication management can challenge professionals who need to find the right drug and dosage that will be effective for treatment. It’s frustrating for patients combating the effects of depression when their medication doesn’t quite alleviate the symptoms. Part of this cocktail of drugs can also cause intolerable side effects ·       Sleepiness ·       Insomnia ·       Dizziness ·       Weight Gain ·       Headaches ·       Increased Anxiety ·       Sexual Problems ·       Nausea The feeling of hopelessness and frustration is just compounded when you’re waiting for relief that never really arrives. There are so many drugs available...

Communication - The Art of Words

I read a posting, a few weeks ago, that the song “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode was celebrating its 25 th anniversary. The song, released in 1990, speaks of how you can be beyond words. It relays the message that there are times when words can’t describe feelings or emotions and seem inconsequential. I do understand when people say that something is “indescribable.” We all have moments when we just want silence and time to appreciate the world beyond words.   A feeling or an emotion can be hard to verbalize at times, but are we ever beyond words? We have to realize that if we want a space of non-communication we have to communicate that. We can’t “Enjoy the Silence” unless we can tell everyone we want silence.   For people to know we are at a loss for words, we have to tell them that. Everything we say and do lies in communication. We could not function as a community or a society without it. We don’t stop to contemplate that our whole world is cr...
