Coming Soon . . .
HOW TO WIN ELECTIONS FOR DUMMIES: by the GOP
Is your home district gerrymandered to the max? Take our simple test in chapter 1 to find out now. Worried that you're not likable enough? Who needs the popular vote anyway? This is America. You can still lose it and claim a mandate. We'll show you how in chapter 5. Only this latest edition contains an updated checklist for finding the right campaign manager from AM radio who could make even someone like David Duke seem presentable. Watergate Schmatergate. Telling the truth is for suckers these days as the bar has never been lower thanks to Donald Trump. Lie, lie, lie to your heart's content and still cruise to victory, guaranteed! Falling behind in the polls? Relax. We've included a whole chapter explaining how you can get the 2nd Amendment people to "help" you out of this little problem. Concerned about your appearance? Who gives a rat's fragdoodle? If a balding 70-year old man with orange skin and 3 trophy wives can make it to the White House, even your crazy uncle stands a chance of winning a seat in congress. And for that inevitable moment when your campaign becomes alarmed by the current news cycle, Chapter 18 has a list of 10 ways to quickly and effectively "throw a dead cat on the table", changing the narrative in the mainstream media.
You'll have loads of fun learning how to gerrymander districts until they resemble anacondas (and get away with it!), making fun of disabled people as long as you know who is fair game (hint: reporters!) and who isn't, creative ways of hiding unpaid creditors and personal tax information, all this and much, much more.

JAN 20, 2017
The day a real estate developer who's never served a day in public office before will be handed the nuclear codes. This is a man who has hidden his taxes. A man who received 5 deferments from the military. A man who insulted a Gold Star family and made fun of a disabled reporter in public. A man who collects trophy wives like most men collect NASCAR memorabilia. A man who called on his opponent to be assassinated. A man who bullied his way to his party's nomination by calling his opposition names.
The GOP is the most dangerous organization in the world.

I find it difficult to imagine a renaissance man like Thomas Jefferson agreeing that it's okay to stop learning when a person becomes an adult. It's a disturbing fact that the average American will never read another book after leaving high school, which is probably also why he believes he can figure out most things in life simply by using his "gut".
Jefferson was a man who never stopped learning. The architect, inventor, and 3rd President of the United states considered himself a scientist rather than a politician. Jefferson not only authored the Declaration of Independence, he published the first scientific paper in America on paleontology, as well as a book about the State of Virginia simply so other men could become better farmers like himself. This polymath never stopped reading and corresponding with friends (as well as adversaries) his entire life. He even took up brewing after retiring just so he could give his neighbors free beer, living to the ripe old age of 83.
