Logical Conclusions

Chapters in this volume include: Chapter 1: American Government 101 Schools are supposed to teach this subject, but schools never teach what actually goes on at the local, state, and national levels. If they did, students would be mightily entertained Chapter 2: Our Weird, Weird World You would not believe how the behavior police want you to act while backpacking in the wilderness and other weirdness. Chapter 3: We Muse on the News So why don't rich people pay more in taxes, how to sell air, and other interesting stuff. Chapter 4: Sports There are only two sports that remain where one can drink while one is playing the sport and other observations. Chapter 5: Dog Tales I live in a town where dogs are so admired that we may give them the right to vote. Chapter 6: Space and Science The next gold rush will occur in outer space, where a single asteroid could be worth $100 trillion. Chapter 7: The Gopher Relays I can't help it. This happens every spring. You almost have to witness this activity to appreciate it. Chapter 8: Useful History What did they do about pirates back in the eighteenth century? Who actually won the Crusades? And honestly, a school forgot about Christmas? Chapter 9: Government Finances If this chapter doesn't frost your eyebrows, you probably don't pay taxes. Chapter 10: We Get Mail A big part of the fun of owning a newspaper is opening the mail. I mean, really. Chapter 11: Diving Us Crazy The days of Route 66 may be ending, and why I don't go abroad. Ever.
