If you're here with me in Binghamton, please walk past the front window of RiverRead Books at 5 Court Street. From there, you can see NUGE FOR PREZ and Other Fiction on display. I hope that will be enough to bring you inside. If not, there is a magnificent collection on the shelves of fiction, history, biography, graphic novels, childrens', and much more. They keep the Science books up front, so I rarely get very far in before I find what I'm looking for. They also have literary events, such as open mic nights and author events. On January 22nd I'll be there reading selections from NUGE FOR PREZ. You don't have to be from Binghamton to attend.

In the wider world, modern science had a birthday this week, when On the Origin of Species celebrated the 150th anniversery of its publication. Next month, Laugh at Yourself First has it's first birthday as well. In lieu of a party, I'm having Dr. Filth December, featuring a brand new story next week, followed by the first Dr. Filth story I ever wrote, followed the revised edition of Dr. Filth that appeared in NUGE FOR PREZ. After that, I'm taking a week off. Just in time for Christmas, I'll be unveiling the Dr. Filth T-Shirt. I'll be back in January with a new installment of The Witch King's Sword and more short fiction, scripts, and very little poetry. Thanks for reading.

Laugh at Yourself First: The Great World Leader

This is a special message from Ted Nugent. Nuge finished Sarah Palin’s manifesto, “Going Rogue” this week. Usually, even Ferocious Theodocious can’t finish a volume in under a week, but it turns out this book is 300 black & white copies of the front cover. After page 50, you’ve got a fairly clear idea what’ll happen next. Nuge breezed through that sucker in an afternoon.

The Motor City Madman figgered Sarah would go away after she tried to show us how qualified she was to be the Most Powerful Man in the World by quitting her job as Second Most Important Woman in Alaska to write a book. That would be like if Nuge stopped writing unrelenting Rock tour de force to run for public office. Apparently, if you’re dad is a dude from Monty Python, you can get away with anything.

If you’re here with Nuge in Waco, Texas, you probably don’t have anything better to do than read more of Sweaty Teddy’s thoughts on May... Gov... Swimsuit Model Palin, “Gin-Soaked” John McCain, and “Chicago Ganster” Barack O’Bummer. Nuge lays all bare in “NUGE FOR PREZ and Other Fiction,” by Paul Juser. This excellent book follows Nuge's historic 2008 presidential campaign to build an America that makes sense, bring to justice pigs and criminals, and lead our troop to battle wielding only a loincloth and spear.“Nuge for Prez” may be the most patriotic book ever written. So good the real Nuge ripped off the cover. Thanks for reading.

Laugh at Yourself First: The Great World Leader, Act III

Let me start with a thank you for all the birthday well-wishes this week. While my European friends started the celebration the day before my clock said I had "Both feet in the 3rd decade," my oldest friend still made it among the first. I can't say I did the same for him this year, or many other years, so if I missed yours, or miss yours in the near future, give me a pass. If you order a printed copy of Nuge for Prez, it's like we still gave each other presents.

If you're here with me in Binghamton, we have a new mayor. It's the old mayor! A hand count of absolutely every absentee ballot, Party Mayor Matt Ryan slid back into the swank office atop City Hall. What Mayor Ryan must remember in term number two is less than 40% of the vote means more than 60% of us didn't want him. He didn't so much win as had the election won for him by an opponent resembling Cesar Romero's Joker. It has been more than a month since the news reported on the murder of Keisha Roman. This week I start the final Act of "The Great World Leader," ending November 27th. Thanks for reading.

Laugh at Yourself First: The Poetry of Real Life

If you're here with me in Binghamton, I hope you made it through what will be known as "The Voting Night Massacres." Douglas Walter Drazen took his 2,072 angry supporters to the streets pillaging and burning any house with a "Re-Elect Matt Ryan" sign in the lawn. Dozens were killed in the fighting, but on the bright side, 13 police officers will no longer be cut from next year's budget. As the fires subsided Wednesday afternoon, Rich David, Ryan's only opponent to not have his name on the ballot in magic marker, marched up and down State Street demanding a duel. With only 56 votes separating the less than 40% of the vote either candidate earned, a hand count will be required to determine who runs my city next. Seatbelts on.

I voted for the Party Mayor to keep from being turned away at First Friday. Had I known what it would be like last night, I may reconsidered my vote. I'm hoping with a second term he'll build the other half of the Riverwalk, or Binghamton WiFi will work indoors, or someone will sweep up the broken glass within a day or two of the bottle being broken, at least in a 2 block radius of City Hall. Joe Merril attempted, but ran like a whipped cur when a schnokered Ryan broke his broom and called Merril names. Last election this earned Ryan a restraining order. This election, it was free press. In honor of Ryan's impending victory, Act III of "The Great World Leader" starts next week. This week you'll sit through my weird, experimental poetry. It's worth it for the fantastic cover by Kip Ayers. Still no word on Keisha Roman. Thanks for reading.
