Humor -- A collection of articles giving advice to the guilt-ridden trying to come to grips with their overloaded modern lives. Through the research of the fictitious "Center for Adequate Living", the author uses humor to guide readers through some of life's small conundrums -- cooking, doing laundry, choosing a mate, raising and feeding children, staying fit, growing old gracefully -- and many other dilemmas that defeat all of our best efforts to live the "perfect" life. Using the motto "Good Enough is Good Enough", readers are urged to lighten up, take a deep breath, and allow themselves to be fallible,imperfect, funny, endearing human beings. Some of the articles were previously published in "Indianapolis Woman" magazine and in the "Indianapolis Star".
It amazed me that they actually got to know each other without jumping in to bed. The author documents how the military's very unwise reliance on private contractors for combat zone logistics led to a need for private contractors to provide security, to the point that 22% of the reconstruction dollars are going toward Private Military Corporations (PMC).
My global reading program suggests that the Bush-Cheney Administration will go down in history as having pulled off the most blatant program of planned lies to the public, Congress, and the United Nations, and the most blatant slight of hand in switching the burden from a properly staffed military command to a war-profiteering mélange of PMCs. A great choice for storytime, with fairly brief rhyming text, although the illustrations deserve being pored over since they are full of witty details. Draven! She certainly has a way with words, which flow well and leap off the page. We’re no longer a land of opportunity
