By Kabembo Chinku
It’s almost a universal phenomenon. Nobody knows when, how, and why it started, but society somehow allows their political leaders to get away with nearly anything, up to and including murder- at least in many countries in Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Central and South America. Here in these United States of America, no one is suggesting (at least not me) that our political leaders are guilty of committing murders. To the extent that anybody can accuse them of such, it’s their enacting of lax gun laws at the behest of the NRA. Thanks to these laws, anyone applying for a permit to buy an automatic assault weapon is no more subjected to rigorous background check than they are buying candy. By this and this alone, U.S. politicians are partly to blame in the deaths of innocent people. Anyway, this book is not about murders or guns. In a way though, it’s about “death”- the death of reason and sense in politics. It’s about some insidious behavior that politicians get away with. Society itself is to blame for tacitly permitting politicians to engage in such a behavior. So here in the United States, as is the case everywhere, politicians get away with too much: Corruption; lying or showing a disdain for facts; being lazy; stealing; and cheating on their spouses. We also allow them to make promises that they can’t possibly keep- or never keeping promises that they can easily keep. We have put the bar for tolerable behaviors, or conduct expected of our leaders, very low. We have reached a stage where the moral code of our politicians is on par with, if not worse than, that of criminals. Well, this author decided to draw a line, a “red line,” if you want to be dramatic, on dumbassedness- or rather- on the dumb things that the people we look up to in society, especially our political leaders, say. They can get away with lying, being corrupt, etc., but they will not be let off so easily for saying things that are decidedly dumb. Just as Iran will hear from Israel and the U.S. if its nuclear (or as George W. Bush would say, “nucular”) ambitions crosses Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu’s somewhat arbitrary “red line,” politicians here will hear from me if and when they cross my own arbitrarily laid “dumbassedness” red line. Like most citizens, I’ll tolerate- barely- such maladapted behaviors of our politicians as corruption, cheating, infidelity, lying, not keeping campaign promises, etc., but not dumbassedness. This is what this book is about. This author’s blood boils when he hears these stupid politicians, like Indiana’s U.S. Senate candidate, Richard Mourdock say such things as, “A woman being raped and conceiving as a result, is in God’s grand scheme of things.” That is, God wanted it that way, and therefore that the victim shouldn’t be allowed to terminate such a pregnancy. Unlike most books, this is not one long, continuous story. One need not necessarily start reading from page one or chapter one successively to the last. One can jump around, or even begin with the last chapter. Every chapter is a stand-alone chapter. There is no “continuity” to worry about if you decide to read the book in a sort of haphazard manner. You’re going to encounter unbelievable dumbassedness of our politicians on every page.Politicians and other leaders of society may get away with having the morals and ethics of alley cats, but I´ll be damned if I´ll let them get away with the immaturity of pre-adolescents and the dumbassedness of a jackass. This is my raison d´etre, or if you want to be "religious" about it, it´s my calling.Let me add that had my sense of self-preservation not been so heightened, I´d have moved to Russia to take on Emperor Vladimir Putin.But I don´t like having Polonium-210 as part of my diet. Thank you and enjoy. Kabembo Chinku.

By Frederic Voss
Frederic Voss says he can see humor in most anything, although he sees nothing funny in the way the politicians and the news media are betraying the American people. It is the politicians that catch the razor edge of his wit. �I have come to distrust them all,� he said. Voss began writing his style of satire more than 25 years ago as a �cub� reporter for a small newspaper in Western New York. Sensing a need for an alter ego, he invented Newshawk to tell his stories. He stayed with the newspaper for two years before deciding, �I couldn�t afford to work there anymore.� Voss was asked to continue writing his weekly columns after leaving the newspaper and did so for eight years. He finally terminated the column when the world of work interfered. He started writing again in January 2011. Voss has worked in door-to-door sales for three companies and at one point owned a custom furniture-building shop for five years and attended craft festivals in nearly all of the Northeastern states. Voss and his wife Mary have been married for 41 years, have three grown children and one grandson. They live in Western New York.

I have written this book as a way to vent my frustrations and anger caused by the way our federal government looks upon and treats the average citizens of this country. We are nothing but pawns that are intended to serve the wealthy. They spy on us using cameras on just about every corner as well as inside buildings. They eves drop on our telephone conversations using hi-tech receivers. They monitor what we do and where we go on our computers. They even humiliate us in airports by forcing everyone to pass through detection devises as well as x-ray machines that penetrate to expose our most private parts. We are left with no dignity at all. They blacklist us from flying because someone somewhere has deemed us as a threat. They use the excuse that everything they do is for our protection and safety. In my opinion there are three things that would work a lot better and far less costly. The first thing would be to allow any anyone that wants carry a hand gun on board. Terrorist would be stupid to attempt high jacking a plane if there was a possibility of 200 or more armed people. The second thing would be for our government to stay the hell out of other countries’ business. And the third thing would be to warn all countries that if any attempt is made to harm American citizens it will be considered an act of aggression and will result in action of extreme prejudice against the country from which the attackers’ came. My book details the things, in my opinion, are the major issues and what I propose to resolve them!
